Chiryn

Share

Youtuber and ArtGiant TenHundred is throwing an Art-Block contest. He picked 2 random characters from a generator and I picked the Chiryn. You’ll find the description below. I put a lot of thought in the creation, and wanted it to be an learning experience too. Which is why it is in grey scale: I wanted to practice Values. I have no mentor and I am self- taught, so if you end up here and see something I can improve on: please give me your tips!


Alright, here is the discription:

A medium, familiar, quadrupedal creature with a hare head, two chameleon eyes on the sides of its head, a mouse nose, and a feline muzzle containing four sharp fangs. It has a stocky neck, and its shoulders are pronounced. It has a chimpanzee torso, and a fat stomach. It has two elongated, lemur forelegs, two wolf hind legs and a canine tail. The head, neck and legs are covered in rock-like skin, while the rest of its body is covered in thin slime. Diet: lizards, grubs and mammals.


I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I think this is pretty good at making this look creepycute. The description tempted me into imagining something more bestial and tree-dwelling, but I can respect making an imaginary creature fairy-like.

There's a lot of fine detail to the textures. Little runs where slime is visible, sharp reflections on the crystal ridges, and a nice scatter around the scaly chameleon eyes. The values convey a lot of the creature's 3d volume, even where it is nearly covered in shadow.

I am a little confused by what seems to be some typos in the description. I can guess it has two lemur forelegs, but what is tock-like skin? If you meant toad-like, I think you've conveyed that decently well in it's smoothness and finger pads.

KayAlons responds:

Thank you for taking time to write your thoughts. You are awesome! I ment to write 'rock-like' skin, I am sorry for the typos. Running a bit of a fever. The discription sounded indeed like a nightmare to meet, but I wanted to make a bit of a baby-version. To stand out of all the monsters that will be submitted to the contest. Thinking out of the box, heheh. I really- reaaallly appreciate that you took time to comment. X
