Scanel what now?
Anyway, finally here is Ze Zea-rez, in all its glory!
http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/9...keleton0vu.png
Its got extra long/deep tail bones as thats where alot of muscle attaches, and because of the muscle attachment of its side to side movement. I look at fish for that. Also, only at the base of the long tail is there any muscle, which is propelling the thing, so it has powerful muscles there, and a powerful, muscular and flexible neck for reaching around to catch prey. I think it has small eyes and nostrils at the front of its head, I verified on the picture. Only small eyes, though.
It needs little protection of its organs as it is the dominant predator. It doesn't need their support as much as it is in the sea, and the thick outline indicates blubber. Oh, and sorry abou the tail outline messing up, I had to get a seperate sheet for the tail as it was a bit long.
Comments plz.

His name is Lord Jens Maul

(Yeah! Lord Maul :lol:! Now I remember.)

Mudoko_Jedi 06-17-2006 01:10 AM

That sea rex is so cool.

E'l Scrabino 06-17-2006 05:45 AM

AWESHUM! *Says in the macdonalds ad* I'm lovin' it!

Mudoko_Jedi 06-17-2006 11:04 PM

can i get fries with that.

Matriar 06-17-2006 11:36 PM

:D lol.

Fish'n'chips for me too, please.

dripik_12 06-18-2006 04:22 AM

At last!Here's an Elum skeleton,

At last!Here's an Elum skeleton,
but Zerox's fish thing is much better than my Elum

Its called a searex and there both equally good.
zeroxes searex is very well drawn while youre elum has very relistic bone structure.

dripik_12 06-18-2006 05:42 AM

(SORRY:crying:)


Here's a Scrab skeleton

Matriar 06-18-2006 07:03 AM

:eek:Wow, wow and triple wow!
Dripik_12, your elum skeleton (:love:) and your scrab skeleton are so good!

dripik_12 06-18-2006 07:05 AM

Thanks:D

Zerox 06-18-2006 10:04 AM

Wow, those rule. I thought the Elum was better...
The Slig´s cool, but I was thinking it would have bones in its ´tail´. I did see in the art of oddworld book (goddamn its useful) that on close inspection, they appear to be degraded back legs, with two visible sections to them as well as the feet. Just a thought.
Those are pretty awesome, though. Are you using a book for reference.

Matriar 06-18-2006 12:04 PM

Dripik_12 you show-off these pictures are so nice! :D Thanks for making my thread more interesting :) I'm not as good as you in drawing and I guess I never will be.

Mudoko_Jedi 06-18-2006 09:35 PM

dripik_12 those are great they look like there blue prints.

dripik_12 06-19-2006 12:07 AM

Thanks:)

Bullet Magnet 06-19-2006 02:35 AM

Just to tell you guys, I'm brewing up a really good one right now. Or a really crap one, it could go either way at this stage...

E'l Scrabino 06-19-2006 02:49 AM

Ah yes, if it's the latter i shall dub it "E'l Crapp-o"

That is all.

Mudoko_Jedi 06-19-2006 03:24 AM

Knowing you bullet magnet it will be great I love youre work.

Matriar 06-19-2006 10:22 AM

E'l Crap-o! :lol:

Bullet Magnet 06-20-2006 11:30 AM

E'l Crapp-o? Excuse me?

I like that actually. Not applied to any of my work of course...

Zerox 06-20-2006 01:02 PM

Not mine either...someone give me ideas for what to do when I get back from Spain.

Cullen Heath 06-20-2006 10:01 PM

Oh, my god...Dripik_12, that is amazing! All of them!

You even included tendons!?! Great job, especially on the Scrab;) !





Guys, you really need to calm on the posts. I've been scanning through this thread and some of you are spamming like crazy. Please get it under control, or I'll call a Mod over here.

E'l Scrabino 06-21-2006 12:45 AM

E'l Crap-o!:lol:

This is the last spot of :spam: i shall post, but Stranger's Maid, i think i said E'l Crappo... [note second p]



EDIT: (read post below and you'll see what i'm talking about)

Sorry then, i dun understand stuff like that...

Matriar 06-21-2006 02:10 AM

It was only a joke.

Cullen Heath 06-21-2006 08:40 AM

Dripik_12, shall you be making another one anytime soon, I think that it should be a Glukkon. That would be awesome.


And guys...El' Scrabino', I'm not kidding about the Spamming, Don't do it again!

Bullet Magnet 06-21-2006 09:05 AM

Well, here it it... The aforementioned E'l Crappo.

A Clakker skeleton. I worked backwards from my other Clakker sketch, and I tell ya, finding the bones of such fat creatures is hard work, even with my skeleton book out in front of me. I had to combine the human, macaw and penguin for this. I hope it is woth the wait, it took all day.

Yeah:D:)

Ninjaxe 06-21-2006 09:36 AM

For the clakker:
Are their fingers like that..I dont know

I thought they were wings!!!

Matriar 06-21-2006 09:47 AM

I like it.

Bullet Magnet 06-21-2006 09:47 AM

I have made studies of birds wings, and the finger parts look like that. One of the smaller "fingers" would control the feathers.

Zerox 06-21-2006 10:10 AM

Yeah, that skeleton works out.
I didn´t see any Tendons on Dripik 12´s pics. I´ll have to check.

Mudoko_Jedi 06-22-2006 12:03 AM

that claker is coool I could not do that it would take me years.

Here's the Glukkon

Matriar 06-23-2006 07:32 AM

Nice picture (as always you show-off :D:D)



...I'm not sure. Do squids have any bones? (Or a skull at all?)

dripik_12 06-23-2006 09:22 AM

The Glukkons are squids,true

But how can they stand on their arms if they don't have any bones?:fuzconf:

Here's a paramite

Matriar 06-23-2006 11:15 AM

Interesting picture.

Oddworld.

dripik 06-23-2006 11:25 AM

Glukkons, squids? I wouldn't bet on that one. The largest part of the Glukkon body is the head, and only a skeletal frame could hold it steadily. Not to mention that they have teeth, which are part of the skeleton.

And squids generally live in the water. If Glukkons were squids, why would they have arms, and not legs? Glukkons don't seem pretty good swimmers to me.

Discussing this would go on forever, so here's the conclusion: great pictures, love the detail and the muscle anatomy.

Matriar 06-23-2006 11:36 AM

Alright. I just wondered. These are really great pictures. :)

Thank you for making this thread more interesting :)

Zerox 06-23-2006 12:39 PM

HOLYF*CKINGC*APHOWDOYOUDOTHAT!?!?!!?!??!
Sorry, but...s*it.
What size paper do you use? I do tend to have a habit of making my pictures rather small scale, so it gets hard sometimes adding detail (the ones I posted were parts of A4 sheets, but I cropped the image. It comes out larger than it should really be)
Paramite skull is very interesting concept. I never thought of them having teeth. I thought they just ripped flesh with their talons and swallowed it. Maybe they do chew it a bit. They seem to have less room for a digestive system than alot of other carnivores would, so chewing would help extract more energy from the (possibly little in caves) food they DO get.
Gluks have traits of squids/molluscs but also those of ordinary vertabrates. I think they´re true vertabrates and the squid likeness is more coincedence, or traits of previous convergent evolution (look it up or ask me if you don´t know).
Gluks heads seem a bit squishy. Maybe some of the skull is cartilage to allow for more brain growth...?
You churn these out too fast. But then again, I spend too much time on computers, examining my tadpoles and badger skeleton...etc.
