What is this hideous beast?!

I’m posting this walking urinal in an attempt to show more of my game design process.

It kinda looks like Barney ate his own body…

Anyway, I’m flirting with the idea of using a surrealist’s happy place (or this poptart commercial – same difference) as inspiration for my next game. Somehow dinosaurs felt like an interesting direction to take. I think this little guy is going into the trash heap, though. I started working on a robotic looking fellow and he’s much more promising. Robots are easier to make too, so I can make more of them for you all to stomp on.

One thing to note, as ugly as the creature is, the beautiful rendering is the new Blender Cycles engine hard at work. Look at that sexy bump mapping and soft lighting; it even makes bodiless walking heads worth looking at!
