Part of a university project. I have gone back to a more traditional medium approach for the work I produce. I love pencil and I love Photoshop so figure its probably best to combine the two more.





This creature is native to a planet of a much lower mass then that of earth. Most of the planet is ocean and as such the majority of creatures either inhabit the ocean or have the ability to fly. Caecusfugiens is a massive flying predator.

Completely blind, like most of the other planets natural fauna, Caecusfugiens has developed an array of incredibly sophisticated senses that enable it to navigate and hunt. The huge fleshy pads either side of its unusually elongated scull act kind of like ears (though hyper sensitive). Like a bat, the creature can navigate through a type of echo location. When honing in on prey small pits on the snout enable a form of proximity detection (a sense that is still under investigation by scientists studying the creature).

The creatures unusual features do not end there. It's flight is achieved through a form of jet propulsion. Lung like organs within the wings inflate and deflate and an incredibly rapid rate forcing air in through a nostril like orifice at the front and out of a smaller pore at the back. This process generates so much heat that an array of air ducts have evolved within the framework of the wings that supply air flow through gills to aid cooling.
