For the Artstation contest, I decided to take part and brush up on my drawing skills. The contest is called Beneath the Waves. I've chosen to take part in the Character/Creature Design section. We need to make 5 humanoids and 5 creatures.
Top Left: Traveling over large stretches of foodless terrain, The Stalker silently hunts prey. Next to it is The Stalker's companion. It hunts with The Stalker and can provide shelter in emergencies.
Top Right: Beautiful black scales that refract the light into a shimmer of colors, The Temptress is not all she seems. Next to it is The Temptress's companion. Its gold-like fins attract the attention of prey, which are then ambushed and eaten by The Temptress. It can travel long distances to search for food.
Bottom Left: A very small and fragile humanoid, The Concealed hides away in her Companion, caring for it as it cares for her. Her Companion latches onto rocks or sturdy outcroppings and helps catch food for The Concealed. The Concealed can also hide in it if needed.
Center: Strong and lithe, The Fighter creates weapons from the molted bones of his Companion. They battle others of their kind for riches and status. The Fighter's Companion molts its bony structures in rotation providing The Fighter with a supply of weapon shafts as well as fights alongside its Fighter.
Bottom Right: The Environmentalist is a very slow moving humanoid that takes care of coral reefs. Her companion helps her check the health of corals. A helper fish for The Environmentalist, it is small and can get into places The Environmentalist can't. It has feelers to get into those really tight places and is extra flexible for those weird predicaments.
