SKETCHBOOK TOUR | Sketchbook 19 (dec 2022 - jan 2023)

Bioluminescent cave-bun-creatures! Some preliminary concept sketches I threw together and prettied up in Clip Studio back in August, both to push my creature design skills and as a bit of a tailored portfolio piece.

I plan to draw more of them eventually, and already have some modifications in mind. (Ex: making their feets more dextrous and less blunted.)

Also inspired partly by the absolutely amazing work of @ / jayrockin! If you haven't seen their work before and enjoy speculative biology or sci-fi worldbuilding, you should absolutely go give 'em a look.

Note transcripts below cut!

From left to right, top to bottom:

Subterranean Earth fauna are largely blind...but in a different world, wildlife could use bioluminescence instead, like earth deepsea creatures.

Cartiliginous fans with large bioluminescent "eyes"; these act as both a distraction and an intimidation tactic (caterpillar style ;D)

Fans regrow easily and are designed to be lost. They can also be angled or waved, -> and folded backward to accommodate tight spaces.

Tapetum lucidum [in eyes], to take advantage of other organisms' bioluminescence.

Neck can turn 180 degrees, like owls

Insectivore

Small teeth, but sharp; resemble possum teeth

Paw pads are "sticky", in the same way as gecko's; this is mostly for traction, though, and can't facilitate hardcore climbing

Claws assist with traction in slippery cave environs

Conflicts are brutal - fights for territory or mating rights focus on damaging the fans, as without them an individual's chances of survival decrease

Behavior overall is reclusive, but dauntless.

While they rely heavily on their fans first, when push comes to shove, they have a reputation for being recklessly bold.
