Creature by Matthew Kean

Creature
In most cases, large meant terrifying, and beast like this could definitely be considered scary. However, my intention with this piece was to show the beauty and gentleness of this creature. Though large and imposing he possess many attributes found on natural living herbivores. I wouldn't be surprised if behind that long bristly mouth were all flat grinding teeth. He was great fun to do. He came from a period of all humanoid figures, I simply couldn't do another, so I decided to a quadruped was due. I composed him taking up a majority of the frame, his massive shoulder further reassuring you of his strength. And the soft nature of the render has you not fear him, but feel for him. Im happy with the success of this piece.

    The beautiful handling of the model, the texturing, and the simple presentation really evokes immediate compassion and empathy for this creature. You certainly accomplished what you set out to do.

    Love what you've managed to achieve here, showing this beast's gentle side. The soft focus is a nice touch, and the added hair detail gives him greater delicacy. Nice work – well done!
