Je continue ma série de monstres et créatures étranges, aujourd'hui un... chat ?
Peut-être ne le caressez pas de trop près et il a besoin de croquettes très spéciales.
Ici, je poste en noir et jaune, mais sur le dessin original, le jaune est une dorure à la cire d'or.
D'ailleurs !!
Je vais organiser une expo qur Rennes avec mes dessins de monstres, stay tuned comme on dit !
The pwca is the black-furred Welsh version of the pooka - a forest goblin trickster. Sometimes the pwca uses a magic candle to lead travelers off the path, and other times the pwca turns into a black animal, such a horse, and entices travelers to try to catch it.

White (and, to a lesser extent, gold) is the colour of the Otherworld in Welsh mythology. Thus, Welsh fairies are generally pale and wear white clothes inlaid with gold, while various fairy animals (especially hounds and stags) and magical items are white.

In many legends, a person is a werewolf by choice, turning into a wolf by donning a magic wolfskin. In some versions, the werewolf also leaves behind their human clothes when they transform. If these clothes are then destroyed, the werewolf can never regain human form. #FairyTaleTuesday
(NOTE: at the last minute, I saw that I'd screwed up this and part of the Elimination Round. This round/group will proceed, but there will be an additional Preliminary Round group tomorrow).
"There's a snake on the western wave,
And his crest is red.
He's as long as a city street,
And he eats the dead.
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea
Where the snake goes down.
And he waits in the bottom of the sea
For the men that drown...."
Vachel Lindsay, "Sea Serpent Chantey"

In a Czech fairy tale, a childless couple adopts a log and names it "Otesánek." When the log comes alive, the couple is unable to keep their new son fed. Eventually the growing Otesánek starts to eat humans. Czech director Jan Švankmajer adapted the fairy tale into a movie. #LegendaryWednesday
Aber auch recht schwach erzählt überhebt sich dieser Kurzfilm, der in der Optik und trashigkeit auch etwas an "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" erinnnert.
The phoenix is one of the most iconic symbols of immortality and rebirth - the bird that dies in a burst of fire and then rises from its own ashes. In some versions, the phoenix just spontaneously combusts, but in others it builds and lights its own funeral pyre.

Started a new modeling experiment… I want to try and create a semi-realistic character in my favorite 3D editor: #MagicaCSG , by @ephtracy .
It's going to be a bit of a challenge, because every detail needs to be added, subtracted or intersected using primitive shapes, as opposed to 3D sculpting, where you can freely brush details in a clay-like manner.
So if this doesn't get follow-up posts, I will have failed miserably. 😅
I still don't know if this is going to work out in MagicaCSG, but it's an interesting experiment.
It feels a bit like creating a semi-realistic head using NURBS, although SDF modeling is non-destructive and more flexible. But generally speaking it's more suitable for hard-surface modeling and cartoon-style characters.
An update of my experimental Demon head using SDF 3D modeling with primitives in MagicaCSG.
The sculpture now exists of 82 primitive shapes in 5 separate objects, added, subtracted and blended. I think I'm done modeling. Tomorrow, I'll move on to materials, lighting and rendering.
To give you an impression of the primitive SDF 3D shapes that make up my demon head in MagicaCSG, I've set them a bit apart from each other.
A number of the elements that are visible here are used to subtract parts, and are invisible in the actual sculpture. Also, some shapes are obstructing other shapes here.
I wanted to challenge myself and modeled a semi-realistic demon head using purely SDF primitives in the MagicaCSG 3D editor.
The final head exists of 129 added, subtracted and blended shapes, and is rendered inside MagicaCSG as well. As a final touch, some texture was post-processed into the rendering.
The hippogriff first appeared in the 16th-century epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Aristo as a steed for the hero Orlando. It is the child of a griffin and a horse. As griffins eat horses, this makes a hippogriff even more impossible than a griffin is.
