Description
alright, this pterasaur/theropod/vulture hybrid is my entry for 's Primal Rage contest.CARRION - God of Greed.
Among the gods of Urth, few are as loathsome as the winged Carrion. While rarely preferring to fight the other gods himself, Carrion is almost always seen after a battle, laying claim to almost anything he can find. Besides scavenging for food (usually human corpses, but he always hopes to find a fallen god), Carrion will collect nearly anything he can get his beak on - bones, rocks, tree trunks, debris from statues and ruins, gold and metals, and more.
Somewhere deep within Urth, there is a cavern that Carrion has filled with this 'treasures', and he guards it furiously. Apart from this cave, Carrion has no true home. Unlike the other gods, Carrion has no territory to his name, and instead roosts among the various mountaintops across the globe.
When Carrion does fight, he can more than hold his own. His massive, clawed feet are capable of powerful kicks, and his sharp beak has snapped at more than one unwelcome guest. Carrion's quest for trinkets is usually hampered by the presence of other gods, so Carrion has finally decided to conquer Urth and the gods that inhabit it, so that every continent, and the treasures they hold, will all be his.

I enjoy that this is a combo of a pteradactyle and a vulture

Lol, its odd that I missed this one amongst the entries for that contest. I gotta say that this would have made a killer God of Greed and it fits so well. The Pterodactyls I thought needed some kind of representitive and this guy nails it to a tee. He also increases the ranks of the evil gods so thats a win-win situation in my book.

Cool! I like how you made the skin mottled and textured. He looks so hunched over and creepy in the bottom right corner.

When I first saw this I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from it, I imediately thought you were going to give an air god, but after reading it's bio I have to say you completely nailed the Urth god of greed. Making him a pterasaur/vulture is ingenious and rather inspiring, him looting the other gods battles and hording it in a secret cave was also an excellent idea for him. You can diffenetly see his arch-enemy as Armadon simply out of paranoia of thinking that he may one day find his "treasures".
Great JOB!! I tip my hat to you sir.
