Creature - Character Design

For the Character Design course, we were asked to create from scratch a creature. During weeks we prepared that project by drawing our character, modelling it, texturing it, rigging it and animating it. I know it is not a perfect work because it was our first step into the character design world but I really enjoy it even thought it was not easy.

The creature story
In 5025, the human race explored the universe to find new resources. During their journey, they found a planet full of new species, resources and mysteries. This planet is composed by a weird sap like a tree that is nourishing and giving a special power to everything exposed to it. So, every plants or animals even my creature has the ability to be hallucinogenic. Every enemy is directly hit by that effect and loses all their marks. As usual the humans eager for adventure and power are starting to discover the planet even thought they need to kill or destruct on their way. My creature which is very territorial is trying to fight back humans like a big part of the other creature living on this planet.
