FASA 365 Day 143, The Call came down from the FASA Leadership, for a Murderous, Wonderland, FAE Dormouse. For an 1879 Game.
They had initially tried ‘prompting’ it on AI and…,
quote “It just wasn’t right.”
So, the powers that be, asked me to give it a go for the 365, The Jury is still out.
I like it.
FASA 365 Day 142, Pterosarcoramphus (Dino Vulture), 15ft 25-30ft wing span. Scavenger. Will hunt if unattended carcass is unavailable.
Artist note: An evolved Pterodactyl. Not snakelike as day 92… gotta be careful of that, 365 different creatures. Thats the point of this project.
FASA 365 Day 141, Geiser Grabber. Up to 50 yards width at the base. Tentacles… Miles? Unsure of full stretch potential.
Ever thought about what lies beneath a Geisers, or that large crack in the ground, or the heat source of that ‘Hot Spring’? Well, this could be your answer.
One Observed feeding method: The Geiser erupts, warm soothing waters attract prey. The tentacles slowly blindly reach out. With a highly developed sense of touch, they stretch out searching for prey.
When any of the tentacles feel life; ALL tentacles react. The one with the prey grabs ahold while ALL tentacle begin to retract back into the hole; assisting in the pull when they come in contact with the prey, and its down the hole it goes.
Since the hole itself is often a long way down and rocky; the prey is FORCED through a brutal, tight, and bone breaking trip. Or in other words the meat is well and truly… ‘tenderized’ before reaching the gaping maw of the creature below.
The Creature itself is one born of molten rock. Life, or biology, or science finds a way.
It feeds, digests, and excretes a chemistry of super heated fluids that create the heated waters.
The water erupts and dilutes in surface waters, creating the hot springs. Which means if you’ve ever enjoyed the waters of a hot springs, you are swimming in… well, I think you understand.
FASA 365 Day 140, Pug-Nosed Longhorn Bison Cow… right.
Very proud of himself. 2ft… but thinks and acts like it’s 10ft.
Artists Note: I started this one with the image of Tim Curry as Evil, from the movie Legend, in my head.
Those fantastic, ridiculous horns. after that… well, it just fell into place.
FASA 365 Day 139, Tytortoiserannus Box. 5-6 inch, shown with watch for scale. Carnivore.
This cousin to Tyrannosaurus Rex, has all the attitude, demeanor, and cunning of its cousins. PLUS its armored. However, at only 6 inches, it poses a limited threat.
Still, it is not recommended to attempt domestication. As many have discovered, it’s powerful jaw structure and razor sharp teeth can take a mans finger clean off.
