Description Copyright belongs to me Jack Eaves.

Here is the concept shet for a creature i created called the 'Herbiphant' > It's currently unfinished as i didn't have time to render it fully. It is done for my weekly concept assignments as university so hopefully from now on i should have at least 1 upload a week.

The description:

"Herbiphant - This animal is a herbivore - it mostly just eats plants and fruit, with the exception of fish. It has one or two large tentacles that are thicker than the rest, with 4 thinner, smaller tentacles. All of the tentacles have suction cups covering their undersides, with thicker skin to protect the rest. The larger tentacles contain strong muscles that allow them to expand and contract with a lot of power. Similar to elephants, they can use the larger tentacles to grasp and bend trees and branches towards them whilst the smaller tentacles grasp and collect the fruits from the tree which is now within reach. The smaller tentacles can also be used to pan and sift through dirt, sand and other fine substances to look for other sources of food and water - as well as finding fish that bury themselves in the sand or to weave in and out of crevices in rock pools. The smaller tentacles can also inject nutrients and flavorings into the food that they grasp - which allows them to make even the most boring and plain of foods somewhat nutritional and tasty. These traits make them great survivors in most conditions. Often farmers who are brave enough will befriend and tame these creatures as they can very easily and quickly collect vast amounts of crops as well as using their smaller tentacles to enrich the fruits and vegetables which increases their values ten-fold."

Great concept. I love your sketchwork for this.. not entirely sold on the colors, though.

Thanks! Yes i agree on the colours, i was planning to merge other colours into it's pelt to make it work better but i'd never managed to finish it - this is really just the base coat at the moment.
