SWAMP CREATURES PROJECT

SWAMP ENVIRONMENT

In the dark swamp, ancient bones lie tangled in moss, whispering secrets of forgotten creatures. The hidden eyes of predators stalk their unsuspecting prey, a delicate balance of survival echoing through the dense flora.

PREDATOR

I got very inspired by moray electric eels for the predator. I wanted to give it that sticky-wet skin but also make him terrestrial, like crocodiles for example. I ended up giving it a bigger structure on the front, keeping it thin towards the end so he could seem like a slippery swimmer while also looking imposing.

PREY

For the prey, I planned on doing the exact opposite, but also complement it in a way. I went for cervids and mixed the majestic with the creepy. It ended up having long legs to walk comfortably along swamps but a thin structure to keep that vulnerable feeling in touch.
