Might have done more with this but was very tired. Massive lizard type creature that lives on a desert planet. Adopting a genetic idea from a type of frog that carries it's young on it's back in similar type bubbles until they are ready to be on their own this lizard does much the same thing. The sharp alternating temps on the planet make it safer for it to carry them at body temp than to bury the eggs. This lizard travels for long distances in search of water and stores it much like a camel would only in it's legs rather than on it's back.

Tree Creature

Felistorm (Nov 2, 2012)

Day 2: Creature that starts out as a spore or seed like thing and grows under and then into a tree almost like a fungus. It then forms a bond with/fuses with the tree and the vine type appendages nourish the tree as roots would as well as the creature can move the tree if need be. It has a squid-like beak and can also use the appendages to catch prey. (Thought this one up yesterday but the other drawing took over)

Time for the 30 day character challenge again so here I am :) I had a blast with this one. Took on a life of its own. Had a totally different idea (may try that one tomorrow) and this one started to come out and then she was going to be kind of robotic or doll like and she became aquatic instead and the dragon came into the pic. Her positioning looks a bit awkward but meh....still like it :)

Lovely colors...is your second toe longer than your big toe? Mine is...which can be a pain sometimes =)

lori (Nov 2, 2012)

I wish I could see the right big toe

adxaidl3692 (Nov 2, 2012)

I see his right big toe, Lori. It's in shadow, and yes it does look bigger than his second toe, Elly. :)

Axil62 (Nov 2, 2012)

My big toe is a little shorter than my second toe but not by much.

i SO like this one.

madscientist111 (May 30, 2013)

This is amazing! Looks like actress, Lee Grant!

Teapot (edited May 31, 2013)

Thank you. I'll have to look her up--don't know the name. I wasn't trying to make it look like anyone in particular, it sort of took shape after a lot of doodling.

Oh yeah, I do know who she is and it does resemble her somewhat. http://www.allocine.fr/personne/fichepersonne-10523/photos/detail/?cmediafile=18860723
