Acid

This is a creature I designed as part of a challenge on conceptart.org with the prompt "Deaf, Blind, Acid Spitter." The idea I had about the creature is that it really wasn't blind despite not having eyes. The spikes on its head are hollow and function similar to antennas, such that they can pick up vibrations. The creature is able to sense the vibrations around it and actually have a very good sense of its surroundings. This creature is not actually too large, but is extremely fast and dangerous. Its sharp teeth and claws can shred flesh instantly, and the acid spewing, spike covered bulge on the tip of its tail is a weapon able to crush hard targets and inflict acid and deadly toxins into the bloodstream.

This started as a pencil drawing in 2011, which was then painted over. This was also a pivotal drawing for me, as it caused me to leave the CG Society website. This website was a great resource, but as I went to post this article into my profile it was not allowed because of of the admins there was a royal cnt and had it out for me. Rather than try to seek clarificaiton I just left the website and never looked back. I did see the entire portal went down recently, hope the worst for that admin. For anyone who was around that website, you can probably guess who I'm talking about.
