Gaur. (c) 2013 Michael J. Barnes.
Just completed this character concept illustration. He began as a test sculpt after learning some more new techniques. I then wrote up a character brief and “Gaur” here is the final result. The brief described an alien character, possibly of human ancestry. After centuries of cross-breeding with the indigenous species of an alien planet, the human features evolved into a distinct race. Finally, this character’s people embraced cybernetic implants to help improve the species. Think cross between a human, Klingon and Borg.
Creature sketch.
I am working up some ideas for a new “fantasy” illustration. I’m not exactly sure where I am going with this yet. But here is a sketch of an alien creature. I know it’s an alien creature because it has four eyes. I have decided to call it a quadceratops. You can view more of my sketches in My Sketch Book.
