Description Name: Reagnass
Planar Theme: Water
Type: Ice Elemental

For centuries tales of the Lord of Navar have been spoken in hushed voices. Travelers sometimes hear his distant roar across the Ice Desert, and pray it's merely thunder. They know the Reagnass is no mere myth. Tall like a mountain, colder than death, with breath able to freeze the hearts of even the bravest warrior, Reagnass is worshipped by some but feared by all.

Those who have seen him and lived, say that he is always crumbling, growing, changing shape and leaving pieces of itself. Where its paws strike the ground, ice crystals thrust upwards like blood from a cleaving wound. Cold is his emissary, and the seat of his power.

Every other generation champions rise and rouse the people of Navar to charter armies and challenge the colossus. No campaign has prevailed - as long as the wind blows cold over the plains, and as long as the skies shiver with freezing rain, the distant roar of the Reagnass will continue to remind every living being who really is the one and only ruler of the Navar.

"The brave withered all but with one of his breaths, and in each of his footsteps new glaciers emerged. We realized the true power of the waters had been called upon us, and all we could do was to stand in silence - as if crystal figurines - and contemplate our fragile existence..."

Jurhan Errbet, historian

I love it !
but it may be a problem for the RIFT universe that it changes shape ! and shepeshifter have no real character.
It may be a problem for them because they have to work more than normal to animate it ,they have to shade and create different shapes it changes to.

BUT! its a really great work !it has story adn do look like a real BEAsT! XD
Love it would be worth a Daily devitation

SkavenZverov In reply to Xuruki [2011-05-22 20:07:31 +0000 UTC]

well, we can say that his head and backtail is not changing, because there is where his power lies, or something

i completely understand what 3d artists do, but, if you really love what you do, nothing will be hard. if it is a good idea, go for it. i mean, i saw awesome designs/creatures that are hard to model, but look alive.

as designer, i could just draw it in like 15 minutes but it will not be "design" which i will love, and with i had fun working on it.

i am always trying to have fun through develop process

thanks for the words, and i am glad you like it so much! i really appreciate

Xuruki In reply to SkavenZverov [2011-05-22 20:45:54 +0000 UTC]

Well and also thanks for sharing your opinion always a pleasure to get to know new people and learning about their opinions!

I know! its really fun to draw and to "get lost" in the details sometimes a Real "second world" hehe
i often fall for my details

but whats hard for is to forget about reality, because of this i have sometiems problems with a new concept. i think to "real" ^^

And continue to put your love into your drawing , they look amazing and wonderfully detailed !

(and if they really take yours as boss monster they could just change the story xD)
And i dont know about the Creators of Rift, and i dont know if they Fear to work on a monster for a long time, but like you said, if they truly love what they make/the game) then they wont fear to model even a monster like that !
And i will remember.. "if it is a good idea, go for it !"
thanks !

I showed it to my fiance who plays the game, he was impressed. He says it goes along with the game rather well. And he and I both agree that it's great as far as graphics for an MMORPG.

I hope you win. <3

wow, thanks! it means much to me!

i never played rift , i watched just some trailers when it came up, as well as gameplay movies

i wanted ti give him "design depth" which is crucial for creatures design, i guess, and i am glad that you and your fiancee like it!

i hope he would love to meet Reagnass in Rift

Thanks again!

well, sincerely i never play rift, i was just following logical path, water = ice. all of the "info" is made up, i don't know if there is ( i guess not ) Ice Desert of Navar and such things..

Ahridain In reply to SkavenZverov [2011-05-22 00:47:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but all planes were described. Creatures elementals etc.. as its a concept it should be on same universe as game and same "logic"

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SkavenZverov In reply to Ahridain [2011-05-22 01:14:32 +0000 UTC]

well, let's say he was banished because of taking foul form. he was dispersed into oblivion, but with his sheer will he maintained his existence until he managed to break the seal and become what he is now

story can go on and on, many things can happen, as it is a world of stories...

at least i worked my ass off to finish it and make his design with bg story, which, i think, make him more complete, as design...unlike some other "Plane of Stolen" work which are just sad...

anyway, i am glad how it came up, i just wanted to give it a try

thank you very much!

but, i am not going to win lol

and if i lose, i don't mind also, this is a great opportunity to practice my skills and design!

don't be discouraged...it is not a question who is the best/worse, it is a question having fun while doing it

thanks for the words

Ahridain In reply to SkavenZverov [2011-05-22 14:14:35 +0000 UTC]

yeah.. now im having fun solving how to make my creature live in air (50m lenght/height and who knows how many tons)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SkavenZverov In reply to Ahridain [2011-05-22 14:20:04 +0000 UTC]

yeah, as i can see it, the point of creating creature, is to...well, create it

not only his visuals, but background story, which may lead you to some visual ideas.

unfortunately, i didn't check the realms descriptions, because, i didn't know those were links until you pointed it to me lol

but, i decided to make another colossus, and now will check realms in details. however, i am sure ill design something again that is a bit different ))
