How about some kind of water based creature. Maybe with some sediment from the bottom of the Stream/River from which he came. You could even make it a sediment skeletal structure. Just throwing some ideas out to ya.

#7

Look around you down there in South Africa, get out a little bit out of the city. Doesn’t Africa have all the exotic wildlife? That should be some inspiration. Unless that idea is so totally out of the question it’ll inspire you to think of something staying in doors!:cool:

#9

I am sure I saw some scary creatures at night in Newlands Forest, could be my imagination…Or up in the Karoo land.
It has to be at night, that gets your imagination going…

k, howbout this, and be sure to tell kate - as she is the inspiration.

deep in the shadowy areas of middle earth known to the human race as Woodstock, a breed of filthy, dodgy, porn graffitti spraying trolls lurk. there only reason for existance, pillaging the surrounding lands stealing bed linen and expensive electronic equipment.occasionally known to smash a window or two.

haha - just take your cam into the street after dark for reference.

Wow, more than a page of comments, and I haven’t even posted anything :surprised
Thanks for all the kind comments and ideas! :smiley:

Okay, now since I am a mod and I can’t win the challenge, I have decided to go for a heavy influence from the Elves, and I think what I am going to do is an Elven wraith.

Since I do not have a scanner here (it’s at my folks place), and my Wacom is giving me grief on this computer, I’m going to start modelling now, and then post the concept when I can…

So, see you all soon with a taste of what is to come! :bounce:

Elven wraith…Sounds real speacial. Knowing your love for all that is textures it will be great to see what you have in store as a skin color,plus possible extras upon the overall character. Being a Wraith will you be going for a transparent type wispy ethereal look?

            This will be fun to follow Leigh. See you after your update.:thumbsup: :)
