Description
The Womp is a slow moving docile herbivore usually found in packs of fifteen to twenty animals. The Womp has some unknown physical property whichgreatly lowers the effect of gravity on itself causing it to float much like a slightly weighted helium balloon. It's long front legs are used to
keep it aloft and can be extended or contracted to change it's altitude.
In addition to floating, one of the Womp's defining features is it's subsonic blast emitted from the multiple powerful diaphragms located on the sides and belly
of it's body. Among other uses, the shock wave from this sound is the Womp's main defence against predators. At close range the blast can render most medium size creatures
unconscious. In a pack the combined effects make the Womps almost impervious to attack.
------------
This was done for a creature concept challenge on ConceptArt.org.. a sound effect was provided, and you had to design a creature from the sound.
Also trying something light, to break my habit of making everything dark ;]
4 - 5 hours.

What's this, do my eyes deceive me? Could it possibly something bright, and dare I say cheery?
I rather enjoy the technique you used - I have no idea what said technique would even be called, but I like that there is a flatness to the painting all while there is much depth and texture. Does that make sense? For example, I can almost sense how the womp would feel to the touch, but the texture isn't completely over exaggerated. That probably doesn't make any more sense, but fuck it
What I find interesting are the tiny details you added that employ such character and whimsy; such as the purple petals falling off the branch that the womp ripped off the tree, and the almost realistic leaves you placed on the bottom left corner that are paired with the figment of a tree, and the two daisies that seem to be dancing with each other. It's all wonderful and very appeasing to the eye.
I like the fact that you added a character description as well. Opinions would obviously be formed with or without the character details, but I like knowing the back story

Interesting concept. :]

yeah I wanted it to be a peaceful looking thing. The sound seemed to make everyone else want to do massive 4 legged hell beasts.. but I saw a slow floating bovineish creature

Nice and happy colour set - makes this creature look friendly and fluffy(no wonder he is herbivore).
These little yellow flower - awesome idea.
Overall: candy for the eyes.
By the way, is his stomach is a little transparent or it is reflection/skin details? :]
Cheers.

:] thanks. the stomach I'm not really sure of lol.. I only halfway thought that through. It's supposed to be the biggest diaphram that makes a booming sound, so I suppose it could well be transparent.. that wasn't my intent, but now I look at it, that'd be fine anyway

btw, CA.org is cocaine anonymous - so... you might want to fix that.
Otherwise, fantastic job. My roomie always says wompwomp when something is 'made of fail' so this brightens my day.
interesting concept and lovely colors! I wish you luck.
