Description Gold Trail Cave Dweller is a fantasy creature I design for one of my dimensions where they live on planet called Zetanoble and are taken as pets by the Jederrean Reptoids.

The Gold Trail Cave Dwellers are Monotremes (egg laying mammals) that usually live deep inside cave. They lack eyes because they live in areas too dark for them to be useful. On each side of its face are two tiny pits. One set of pits are heat-sensing organs like the type found in most rattlesnakes which this helps them to hunt their prey. The other set of pits detects metals by electromagnetic induction. The metals they find are usually used by the males to build their nest to attract females. Females usually pick the male with the most metal in the nest to mate with. Then they both will take care of the young. Because they could sense metal many gold miners would use them to try to find gold. Their front teeth help them to dig into the rocks and make tunnels. And its four big ears are use to hear for prey and for other predators that that wander the cave and also to help them get around by making small chirps for Echolocation. Many of these creatures were kept as pets because many believe that they brought good luck. As pets they are very friendly and liked to sit on peoples shoulder. The larges they are known to grow to was about a size of a ferret. They eat mostly bugs, rodents, lizards, and small cave fish.

Which my pet (character) of this type of creature is named Xanti. I will probable draw more pics of him soon.

First I inked it and colored it with color pencil. Then I put it into Photoshop to add the background and words.

This guy looks cool. I like the extra ears and limbs. The heat-sensors are an interesting idea too.

Very nice creature design. I like how much thought you gave this and how believable your species description is. The drawing is well done, too... the pose, fur and markings look good and match the old feel given to the whole by the background.
The creature could have used some darker shaded parts to give it more depth though, or was the light colour chosen on purpose to give it a faded look to match the background?

Thanks! I am planning to do more pics of him stealing metal objects, like one will be a toaster. He is a character that I can be goofy with when I want to draw something silly.

This is a really cool creatur concept, especially how each adaptation blends perfectly to create something fantastic yet seemingly plausable. The fur is well textured, too

That's one neat creature you have there. It even looks realistic - and the fact that it actually casts a shadow on the paper allows it to look 3-D. Nice job on that. Colors are a bit muted, but, judging by the old-paper quality, I guess you were going for that.

Size of a ferret? .....I want one now.

thecymbalwench [2007-12-08 08:58:59 +0000 UTC]

now THIS is what I'm talking about, man! you've clearly put a lot of thought into developing this creature--physical characteristics, lifestyle/habits, and all!

I agree with a previous comment here--good colors and texture, but could possibly use some deeper shadows/more contrast to really make him pop.

but yeah, good job!
