The concept here was very simple, create oddly surreal creatures based on real creatures, such as hybrids and so on, at first I was inspired due to watching Made in Abyss and Princess Mononoke and other things that indeed host some oddly looking creatures, so in that end I decided it would be a good idea to try and combine some basic ones.
I used a custom open source model for this project, Here are the results:
At first glance this looks like an ordinary Goat, however it is a mix of deer and goat, something that sort of does not exist in real life, I like the composition here and I used good lighting offset settings to get such results, in most of my results I did apply the light settings.
Here are some more examples featuring a lava turtle in its natural environment:
Next up there are some other more impossible hybrids that happen to come up,
such as the famous Elephant Goat:
clearly the experiment was a failure, however we have some successes over here:
and as a final idea for a concept based on the prior this is the result:
with all that, I see a huge potential for creative freedom and expression through this medium, it has a good advantage which is that it fails a lot, it makes mistakes and that is where our freedom lies for us to steer the tech to where we really want, that being said,
Thank you for reading so far, I wish you a wonderful rest of the day :)
