First draft!
Any additions/ideas yet what i could change?
idk probably no torso/jaw fins it feels a little odd
also im not an artist but how would webbing on the legs or feet look?
Torso and jaw fins are usually flattened down and only really fan out in the water to act kinda as streamlining/orienting the water! As for webbed claws, no plan.
Does have thicc forearms ro push easier through the water while swimming kinda like miju does in cos if you know what i mean
barely remember the swimming anim but yeah I can imagine that, though jaw fins still bother me for some reason what about this torso shape?- nvm gotta do French class
Shape is very much stylisation, albeit part of it is also bc theres several structures along its downside with holes- acting as makeshift cooling system/heating system due to bloodvessels being closer to skin :3
I will redraw the secondary pair of horns bc i forgot the good ol ridges but most pf the depth will probs be worked out during the colouring and shading phase- some bits of its body curve outward and have many holes in em to heat up/cool down quick
raah PRETTY
also how will the swim look like?
It uses motions from side to side to slowly make its way forward- and paddles with its tailend.
Does not need to swim fast most of the time as it is an ambush predator and targets larger beasts- stays beneath them, deeper down, where the water is outright boiling, and then pushes itself off from the seaground and slamms upwards, grabs them, slamms them THROUGH the solid fucking ice and just.
Throws them down onto the ice before blasting them with its sheer cold.
Funni lizard.
this reminds me of those orcas, except they didn’t implode the ice unlike here
what a scrunklie
Orcas are fun!
So is this critter, expect much to everyones general displeasure, it is indeed sapient and not just sentient.
What does that mean?
It thinks. And holds grudges. And understands how your defenses work.
yeah, just make it understand advanced mathematics and thats pretty much it.
lol
wait does it have methods for fun too most sapient creatures do
It knows where most humans live in its regions and if it goes get bored (once every few years) it just… fucks with them. A lot.
Said usually means the extinction of whichever settlement it is targetting- and god forbid one fights back, that just makes it more set on turning every person into a tiny iceicle.
It does WHAT with the humans??
IN THE TRICKERY WAY.
HEAD OUT THE GUTTER.
Jesus.
warm water oh warm water can i perhaps consume you
Funny, leviathans in my world are usually products of a God’s writhing pain and emotion.
The fire god’s first leviathan is a writhing mass of flesh that only has two legs but is shaped like a worm, charred and burnt and continuously screaming in pain, because its made of the first mortals to defy his wishes.
anyways, lovely art, how many calories are they :3
