Description


"Its body, including its neck, looked as if it was a cross between a horse and a tiger, but the head was a nightmarish, crazy mixture of that of a horse, a warthog, a wolf and some other weird creature; complete with thick fangs half as long as my fingers. To add to the confusion, it seemed to have three eyes (one in the middle above the other two) and two long thick arms protruding from overly broad, muscular shoulders. We had a good look at each other, but I couldn't see whether it had hoofs or claws, because it had a peculiarly mottled, camouflaged coloring that made it blend with its background when it was motionless... it had claws... and a lion's tail." Ycagabys is another character illustration for the "Season of Predators" novel. Figure modified in Poser Pro 2012 and ZBrush, setup and rendered in Vue 11.5 Infinite. Craig PREVIOUS: The Entity

I didn't remember the warthog part when I commented on the book cover---that would explain the bumps on his face. Again, a dead-on likeness of the description. (The description is very vivid, too. Kudos to the writers.) You have him blended with his environs perfectly---he seems made of stone. (His camouflage coloring.) I like how you have him lunging forward, out of that vast canyon (colored like he is). Very dramatic position. And the shadow/lighting is dramatic too. I can't tell if he's wholly disconnected to the ground, or if he's got one foot on the ground: But he's definitely in motion. When I first saw this, I wondered if there were many like him in these peaks, but the peaks seem empty of all life---and they're craggy, grand and looming, with more of your subtle atmospherics in the background. (You may be interested in this, assuming you don't already know it: In digital photography, that kind of atmosphere has receded to a degree, because digital lends itself to stronger contrasts, vividness, etc. Whereas in film, that kind of atmospherics work beautifully. It's always a joy to see digital photography with those atmospherics. The Renaissance painters made a point of allowing atmosphere to fade the background---a point I've probably made in your gallery before, due to your beautiful atmospherics---in contrast to many medieval paintings, where background was often in equal focus to foreground. Your atmospherics are one of your beautiful traits as an artist.) More of your subtly done landscape, and a desolate one at that. And I still say he must be fun to make, not only to see how closely you can follow the literary description, but to create him with as much panache as you can. A wonderful wild realization, and dramatically placed and composed in the piece. (Btw, I wonder of sci-fi creators ever create environs that change colors to match the creatures in it, rather than the other way around. As if the environs need protection too.)
