Beast of burden character/contraption

#1

:wip: My idea for a beast of burden is a large amphibious mammal used as transport to travel across a vast frozen tundra. I haven’t fully explored the ideas for contraptions yet. I figure it can transport stuff across water too.

Here’s a 2d painting I made today. Sorry image was so big I had to use lowest quality setting

#9

Oooh it’s kinda cute with wings. :o) actually its the boolean object for the straps… hope it works! :slight_smile:

#10

The boolean/stencil stuff didnt come out as good as I had hope. I’ll probably do it the hard way with the stenciled stuff as a guide.

#11

This is guy looks great! You’re not going to put those teeth in though are you? I think I like him without

#12

Yea the teeth don’t fit man…
I’d leave em out…

#13

rear view the thing it’s towing is still far from done.

#15

That is looking really really awesome man. i love the sad-straining expression to the beast’s face. Great stuff. :applause:

#16

he is cute. but if you really going to add those teeth to him. he will become very scary.

#17

i say go with the teeth!!! :applause:

#18

Thanks ZrO-1!

About the teeth I was thinking orca teeth, basicly rounded teeth but not flat like molars. kinda like as drawn here. :slight_smile:
