Leviathan, Creature Design Contest Entry



Diplocaulidae Balluae, also known by its nickname "Leviathan", is a gigantic deep sea dweller. It's found with similar size and appearance around the world, which fact convinces scientists there is only one species of this mysterious creature. Not much first-hand research material of its living condition has been found except for on-shore carcasses and its eggs and larvae. However, from the scars on its fore-body, the areas of its habitat and its body structure, some information was inferred, including its diet, means of communication, means of preying and average body shape. In addition, the similar bone structure as a cold-blooded animal's suggests the possible ways of its movements.

Hello everyone! This is what I have been working on for the past one week, since there's still time and I really wanted to create something specifically for the Creature Design Contest held by the Helpful Bear Productions. After several major adjustments, I finally feel it's ready to be shown!
The original inspiration actually came from the name of the group I was in, Diplocaulus, that is, when I was taking Professional Practice class. :D
As you can see, I focus on making it as scientifically believable as possible, so the left sheet actually took much more time than the rendering! LOL
Hope you enjoy it!
