Creature 5 O.O

I finally got round to finishing this picture today. It's a kind of lizard/newt fish. It has webbed claws and the head of a newt or an eel, but it has the tail of a fish (although you can't really see it in this picture) and gills! It would live in rocky cracks hunting small fish.

I know..I know... the 'rock' is horrific, but that's not the focus of the picture... honestly!

Creature 4!

This concept creature is just in the making. Here is a few VERY quick scribbles, and I am hoping to do a nice colour piece very soon. It's my most interesting creature yet, and I'm pretty sure there is nothing exactly the same. Which is great! Because I would really like to try and create something original.

If you can't see it clearly, please visit my DA gallery, see links!

Two more fishy creations.

The first fish here is pretty simply designed, it is named the Phoenix Fish due to its flame-like colourings. I think it would live on a coral reef and feed on tiny spores or baby fish/eggs.

The second fishy creature is a kind of adapted squid. Unlike normal squid it has 3 tentacles instead of 8 and they do not propel the creature backwards. Rather, it's body is flattened to almost a tail, which it uses to move forwards. Just like in it's body, there is micro-cartilage in the large tentacle at the front. So it is flexible to be rolled out of the way whilst swimming and rigid enough to spear smaller fish, which it would then wrap it's smaller tentacles around and put into it's mouth which is located under it's head.It has large eyes and a murky colour to match its murky environment.

I will probably be doing some more concepts for my uni project, but I do really like this 'squid' idea.
