Description Tremorworks: Demongate: Tatzelwurm.

Project for ~phoenixsamurai .

I don't know a whole lot about this guy, actually... Wikipedia, that treasure trove of ageless lore, tells us it's a Swiss dragon that breathes poisinous fumes. It's fairly small - 2 to 6 feet in length.

Now in color:

Reading the description made me think of heraldic panthers first up. They're always depicted as breathing perfume. No, I don't know why. This guy strikes me as the exact opposite.

I like the hand like claws and the pose would make a great device!

I was definitely shooting for the heraldic look, once I rethought the concept a little bit. The name tatzelwurm made me think of medieval monsters even before I looked up its origin.

Heraldic panthers have perfume breath...? Interesting indeed. Who on earth thought that up, I wonder. Tatzelwurm, on the other hand, almost certainly has nine-days-funky Swedish meatball breath.

The middle-European countries have some very, very weird mythological creatures.

LOL LOL - You and the long-range eye-pokes...

Actually, this guy isn't all that big. It's mostly his horribly bad breath you'd have to wtch out for.

Ahh, much better. Now it doesn't have a cute head, and it goes together better. Nice work!

I dunno; I still like the cute head. Incongruity is lots of fun. Thanks!

I love the style of this! It reminds me of sketches of very old sculptures of monsters. If that makes any sense. XD

rachaelm5 In reply to plexar37 [2007-07-01 17:05:26 +0000 UTC]

Actually, that's exactly what I had in mind. I have a great collection of just that kind of thing (though I think the drawings themselves are modern, the sculptures are medieval), and I wanted this guy to be reminiscent of that.
