My name is Adrien Debos and here is my Creatures and Critters entry.
A kentor is a species of centaur living in temperate grasslands and woods. This is a very peaceful herbivorous critter that has very long arms to pick up grass or leaves and fruits in the trees since his biped chest and short neck don’t allow him to reach the ground.
Kentors usually live in small herds of half a dozen to a dozen.
Right now the design is far from being locked, but I thought it was about time to start my thread. I’m still undecided about the animals I want to mix. The concept is a bit goat oriented, but it might end up being more of an antelope/moose/cow/*insert herbivorous of your choice* looking critter. I also think that my sculpt will be more realistic and less cartoonish than my concept, but again, nothing is fixed.
So don’t be disappointed if the model is a bit different than the sketch, it will be fun to see the evolution I think.
Finally your entry!
All the best for this competition!
Good to see you here!
You said that you´re really bad at 2D drawing?
Pfff...! You know you´re good!
That´s a terrific creature!
The name fits perfectly! I´d love to see Kentor in a game or movie one day.
I love the horns. They have a great shape!
And the tiny tail looks so funny.
I´m a fan of the anatomy, too!
The long skinny arms in combination with those big hands and the cool claws look fabolous.
Can´t wait to see the first update.
You´ll set the bar very high!
Sweet entry man! I like the idea of the antelope or moose instead of the goat for the creature, that way it doesn't look to similar to the sculpt Zack Petroc did awhile back on Zcentral of Rambouillet which is 1 of my favorites. I can't wait to see how you push the design! This thread is going to be awesome, hurry and start posting WIPs! =)
@DTran: Thanks and congrats Dave for the top row! Your entry will inspire me to finish mine!
@Captain Sensible: Thanks Captain! Yes I'm finally in! I feel at home here, with you, Moni and many others!
@Moni: Thanks a lot for your support Nathalie! Err, Moni
@gpepper: Merci Mr GPepper
@polygonhead: Hey Bud'! I'm really glad to enter this competition with you. That will be good times for sure! Not sure you'd like to pet this creature if you'd see the things he make after a good lunch.
@Sinzalot: Thank you very much Sinzalot! I like your avatar a lot, is it a character of yours?
@GregS: Thanks Greg! Petroc's goat is definitely an inspiration for this character, but I'll do my best to avoid doing something too similar.
@IdanI: Thank you IdanI! I too can't wait to start the sculpt!
@Alwyn: Thanks for the warm welcome Alwyn!
@Chuckhigreen: Me too, I'm wondering what will be the final design. It's always fun at the end of a project to look at the early stage of a character and see the differences with its final version. I hope I will be able to improve the concept a lot.
So here is the basemesh I have made this week. I'm still wondering how I will reach the level of details I need with such a big subtool. I'll have to figure this out!
