C.o.w. - Creature Of The Week # 39

[PandaMime]

Date: 31/7 - 6/8

This Week's Topic - Outcast healer ---------------------------- Create a species that could heal humans but was cast out and hunted by humanity.

i.e., my creature, which would heal humans, but was ostracized because of it's appearance and the fact that it fed on the bodies of humans that weren't saved

Rules:
- No MsPaint
- No Animals
- NO Human Likeness
- Only one finished entry per User
- Make a description for your creature
- Only JPEG format is allowed
- Create NEW art, don't post something old you've made
- Take time on your art, terrible artwork will not be accepted in the voting thread
- Creature MUST be relevant to the subject

Yeah, this is my first, and probably only, cow. I won't be participating in the next few because... I just won't. =P

Look creatureish enough, but maybe some wings or something would help reinforce that,
It also depends on what texture you use for the skin, don't do something too humanlike. =)

Sorry for double post, but I'm bumping this goddamn thread!

[kitty-and-meander]

I like the latter one better. You guys are good! XD

[Frolikyn]

Nursy

This creature attaches itself to medicine or health care things since birth.
Recent studies have proved that this kind of species would take care in a medical way of any sick or injured person.
Its such an UGLEH organism that people would rather ditch the whole medical stuff with " Nursies " and go pay a guy with some PhD stuff in their walls.

Wolverine FTW

You can give a description and well be very happy and dance around the bonfires dancing and all.

[Imacow]

I hope this doesn't count as an animal, this is also kinda like Frolikyn's submission but oh well.

Sergant Squid

He's a squid who uses his multible arms to excell in sergery. Of course, noone wanted a squid operating on them, so he ran away.

I thought this was an interesting topic, so I gave this week a chance

Outcast Healer - Landeron

This friendly creature lives in wastelands and has always sought out humans for company.
Long spiky horns are growing out of its back, filled with nectar. This particular nectar is famous for its healing powers. It can cure the most common diseases like a cold or a fever instantly. It doesn't take that long for the horns to grow to their full size. And when the time is right, they will loosen up and be ready for removal. The Landeron does also use the horns for protection against other animals in the wild. But they will never attack a human for no reason.

Sadly they are not as popular these days as they have been. This is the cause of the people who treat these animals poorly. In some cases landerons have been found, stoned to death by youngsters. The landerons seek out people and some people take advantage of this in horrible ways. This creature's respect for the humans is slowly fading away. And this is none other than the humans fault.

There has been incidents when Landerons have killed humans, but only in self defense. But people doesn't understand this. They are instead acting more and more frightened and aggressive against the creatures. Now they may face extinction, but they only came here in the beginning to help us.

I like the textures and all those cheesy details ... Descriptions really fits its expression D:

- ZE TIP -

Maybe u could have added the skin some scales or reptilian like skin using a displacement map.

Aborted bowser lol

[Farplane]

Finally, some new stuff! Alright, here's Acann, only a WIP though. By the way, the lower sphere facial is sending out gas-like energy, not hurling XD

[Temariix]

I havent come up with a name yet, but I will before voting is commenced!

This creature was documented in the early times of man. They were sacred as they could heal any human injury with only a simple trade/sacrifice of a healthy lamb. Many were known to be blind, just because of the effects of their magic. Any time they would heal a human, it would take a small part of themselves. Humans who recieved treatment from these creatures were documented to have abnormally long and healthy lives.

As time passed, the villigaes with these creatures were ambused by evil demons in pursuit of obtaining the creatures. Village after villiage was destroyed and it was eventually decided that for the safety of the remaining humans, these creatures had to be removed from any human contact. Though as useful as they were, the death rate of humans was greatly higher than the birth rate due to the attacks. All remaining creatures were sent into deep jungles, and safely away from the demons who desired their flesh. Today, there are a legends of this magnificent creature, and some people have claimed to have seen it, but no one is for sure if they still exist, or if they ever existed in the first place.

I'm really happy with this piece, more than you'll ever know! :3 It came out better than I thought it would

I didn't use any special bushes. Just the regular one for base color and some shadows. Then I simply snatched a texture and lowered its opacity. This week's topic was quite original compared to the Chow's these days. ;P

Yeah, I was going for a pretty sad background story. And I strained myself to really make him look like an outcast with no way to go.. ;( I'm glad that it did shine through.

Lol, I don't even know what a displacement map is. I've heard the word but I don't know how to use it. Enlighten me? =) BTW: The creature does have reptilian like skin, but it's hard to see if you're not looking at the HiDef version.
