DSG 1081: Creature: FANTASY RUMINANT HAS SINGLE LARGE, CRESCENT-SHAPED, HORN

[William b. Hand]

[ Your animal need not have any obvious display of it's digestive process, but it should have hooves and some other characteristics reminiscent of cows and sheep and such. ]

[ The horn is centrally located on the head, and will probably be the most noteworthy thing about this creature. ]

[ Please avoid making it look like a goofy unicorn. ]

methinks trying NOT to be goofy is like trying NOT to think about pizza.....

Now it's a goofy cow.

In today's news, the US military continues to deny that it ever tested experimental radioactive substances in rural communities.

some changes.. it was looking more like dog than a caw

[t11]

Not sure if it's "crescent"y enough but hell I like it. Weird bison/okapi hybrid ... thing. Two hours I think?

Klys: He should be clicking his heels he looks happy.
Surfacemonkey: Great... I'm gonna have new nightmares...
Brightdreamer: Nice n' loose but clean. I like. If I were to make a suggestion it'd be to find a pen or something that you could vary the quality of line with.
Vuk: lol!

2 minutes tops. no patience for colors and such.

[Hamsta]

Bleating in the barren foothills of Souther Marjikistan, these anthrocamels live in small packs, eating the low shrubs, and sustaining on very little water.
painter, 15 min? I had a crash just as I was saving :(

[Capella]

Well, Im not really sure what came out. Its kind of a cow-like millipede that eats the algae off rocks. Off of BIG rocks.

The horn keeps reminding me of Santa's hat.

PS this is my first contribution to concept.org forums, so I am a little nervous.

I know, not all that "fantastical" an animal. I got carried away on the horn design...

[Lingmerth]

That's beutifull sleepychic :teeth:

jereus Great, very realistic.

The Red Einhorn of Stedtfeld Systems is a horse-sized ruminant with white fur on white skin (which is quite rare in animal kingdom). Just on ears, snout, mane and tail there are some darker hairs. The male Einhorn wears a single horn on its forehead (the females are unhorned). Hooves and horn are getting crimson red in mating season.

[ROEster]

oven g love - awsome, awkward looking beast.
ATLAS2900 - Looks like a friendly creature, interesting udder-thing.
jereus - nicely modeled render - did you use painter?

anyway here's mine:

[jereus]

sleepychic - cool horn design!
ROEster - thx, i used PS

[sleepychic]

Lingmerth, Jereus - Thanks!
ROEster - Bwahah! LOVE it

[pl4y_wi7h_m3]

I had to mess with the contrast; I tried drawing on some glossy cardstock and I think it made the lead hard to pick up on the scanner. Sorry.

[Celvin H]

[Saturns Gate]

Hey guys, heres my version, went for a bit of a wierd, anything goes aproach to the whole thing.

Timed at : 53 mins

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/9069/cresenthorn9qc.jpg

Good work guys! :)

[Capella]

Sean, I love the colors!

I see a couple of people here using the blue on the horn. For some reason, originally I also thought that the horn MUst be brigyht blue.

[JakkaS]

Hey Guys, many interesting sketches for this one. My favorite is Aga’s entry. Cool and funny. He looks so bored with his existents. Yeah, life can be hard especially when you are a ruminant. Hehe. :D

Here is main [I have used some references].

[JakkaS]

Hey, thx Mike...I have much to learn, so I have to use any opportunity to do that :D ....and as you see this is not a side view :D

[Saturns Gate]

Cheers guys :) glad you like him, i feel this is a turning point for me. Seeing as how speedapainting has really loosened up my art technique. Loving it! :D

:D

[chaosrocks]

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e181/chaosrocks/crescenthorn-1.jpg

It has one horn, crescent shaped...... I don't know where the wings can from. the "Fantasy " part I think.

I call it " My name is Hathor, I never asked to be a god...."

[jereus]

SeanyD - great colors and texture!
JakkaS - fantastic concept, I really love the head 'n horn design

[Capella]

Yay, JakKas posted his!

You are always inspiring to me, great creature. =)

[Saturns Gate]

Hey Jakkas, thats a reall nice clean style you got there buddy. :) Lovely design work and still has that hint of sketchyness which i love.

See you in the other Sketch threads :)

[5frames]

HHHHHHHAHAHAHAHA!

Surfacemonkey your first one made me laugh till I fell off my chair! He's absolutely halarious and original.

[Nicoblahs]

My first ever DSG post!! I started learning to draw in earnest two days ago, so everyones criticisms are appreciated.

Just a simple line drawing until I learn shading and hatching some more.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g294/nicoblahs/Ruminant.jpg

What I don't like. The horn doesn't taper smoothly, the right nostril and eye were fudged in and look lopsided.

What I like: The overall concept, graceful looking combo of camel, giraffe, and deer... with a horn. The ears.

[surfacemonkey]

thanks 5frames. i'm happy i finally found this place. Really having fun in here, and learning a lot.

[Brall]

Man I need to work on my Digital painting skills...:nohope:

[Aga]

Vinc- you crop the tail maybe too mechanical. Nice colouring on the creature. I dont like when background is only around the scene ,dont like white border.

thanks JakkaSyour pictures is another one from you very well done. Like the details and the horn design.What can I say more?
funny situation - I have registerd recently on the max3D forum and didn't know anyone there. The first thread which I saw after the registration was your thread. What a small world? :P

Lingmerth - yep, the roks is what I like too :P my favourite is also sand:confident

ROEster- sympatic creature and like the simple way you draw montains.

[Novacaine]

Cool thread guys. Good stuff. Brightdreamer and Seany, really cool. Jakkas, that is a amazing. Really tight.

I'm really getting into painter and trying some new techniques.

First.. thanks to the daily sketch group. It's kicking my ass and helping me get motivated again.

I hope it's not too late to post to this thread, I've been curious to see what I'd come up with for this subject. I think I may give this one more attention and turn it into a finished piece.

http://www.mcallister-clan.com/art/fantasy-ruminant.jpg

Jakka - Wow. You're an inspiration.

Seany D - I love the feel of your piece. Mysterious and otherworldly. Cool.

[Lt_Action]
