Skeleton-dog creature and illustration made for an upcoming book release by Robin A. Costantin. The client wanted me to create a slender and overly tall forest monster with dog and deer attributes. It had to be both ominous and intriguing, more than frightening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to go for symmetric horns and a very humanoid stance to give it a peculiar look, and add some sanctity to its otherwise feral appearance. Bark texture was added to the extremities of its limbs to further insert it within a wooden and forest environment, as though it could be mistaken for a tree at a distance. Sickly flesh and bones were used to further flesh out (!) the otherworldly aspects of its looks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
