MYRE Vol 2 CROWDFUNDING on INDIEGOGO
Help make Myre Volume 2 become a reality and get access to exclusive tiers!
>>> https://igg.me/at/Myre2 <<<It's time for some creature design!
When it comes to mounts, I make no compromises. Those who are able to mount and ride beasts such as Kurrukhs are hard as rock. These are the equivalent of Muscle-Car-STeamroller-Bullet on Yria. Ready to speed up and strike.
Today, I'm sharing a concept design that helped me settle with the idea and the look before I can unleash it with the next volume. I learned that the extra effort of making designs pays off when it comes to making comics. This is basically my personal reference sheet of the creature.
As for paintings or feature art, I think this one won't be the last as I enjoy the hell out of them.
They're machines, equipped with sharp teeth, a high olfactory sense, brilliant eyesight and a sturdy body that makes them apex hunters. With its surroundings in mind, the Kurrukh has a set of sharper hoof-like attachments and soft padding instead of claws.
With this set of feet, they can't only take on speed but also strike with force to create severe blunt trauma. Mostly though, their feet are highly protected against heat which makes them, persistent runners. Their fur is thicker around the neck while their bodies are coated with a thinner velvety coat. Aside from their rather simplistic look, their headdress is what makes them peculiar.
I can't wait to bring them to life fully with Vol 2 of Myre. :) At least, their design is settled now. And they're already moving around the storyboard. ;)

naaaa den nehm ich mit der ist cool...ich finde die schuppen seitlich vom kopf auch super schön.
wie groß sind die beaster? wen man sie reiten kann müssen sie ja schon ordenlich groß sein?
ist das ding am ende eine art horn klinge ? wie bei stegosaurus die stacheln am tail ende? könnte auch eine art skorpion stachel sein. aber wohl wen eher ersteres mit dem stegosaurus.
genauso wie die zähne sagen dass diese kreatur nicht wirklich in die richtung von wolf löwe oder hyäne im fressverhalten ist warscheinlich eher wie hai oder komodo varane?
sind die pfoten polster auch aus horn oder haben hornplatten als schutz vor den wüsten boden? sieht eher wie "normale" pfoten ballen. (wenn man bei dieser kreatur von normal reden kann).

This thing looks like it can eviscerate a human in zero seconds flat, especially with that tail. Then you'll just be another easy meal.
(It reminds me of the two-headed Spikit from BIONICLE 2009. If it gets hungry, it will eat the goods, the cart, and you, and not necessarily in that order.)

Camels have extra thick footpads making them immune to the desert sand heat, they are also the only animal in the world that can drink brine and filter out the salt. And their humps store water.
This Kuuurkh is well thought out given the ecology of where it lives. You have given me an idea for my own project.
What program did you use to draw this?
