#jnd theme week

[geistvirus]

Day three and the theme for today is Lurker. Lurkers are challenging creatures to draw. They are an odd mix of primates and frogs.

“Brutter got a fish this big.”

I really like Brutter. I really love the tiny detail of how he tries to be part of Haven City’s citizens by adding two feathers to his hair as two long ears. I was sad when he didn’t have a role in Jak 3, but I was really happy when he reappeared in Daxter for PSP. This sweet fun boi needs more love and fish.

Day 2 JnD Theme Week: Crocadog

* * * Pas grand chose à dire hormis que je trouve toujours mignon de mettre des bandanas aux chiens ^^" J'ai toujours été frustrée que le crocochien disparaisse comme ça, sans raison, entre le 2 et le 3 (même si je sais que ND a fait en mémoire à leur chien qui est décédé entre temps) Dans le prochain jeu JnD (quoi? j'ai le droit de rêver), je veux Jak avec le crocochien qui l'accompagne (j'ai en tête Fable 3) Oui, pour moi, le prénom du crocochien de Jak c'est Morgan, comme le chien de ND à l'époque. * * *

Not much to say except I still find it cute to put bandanas on dogs ^^"

I was always frustrated that the crocadog disappeared like that, for no reason, between Jak II and 3 (even though I know that ND did in memory to their dog who died in the meantime) In the next JnD game (what? I have the right to dream), I want Jak accompanied by his crocadog (I have in mind Fable 3) Yes, for me, the name of Jak's crocadog is Morgan, like the dog of ND at the time.

Day 7 (last one) JnD Theme Week- Create your own creature

* * *

Pour ce dernier jour de cette semaine thématique fort sympathique, voici une petit bébête que j'ai en tête depuis trèèès longtemps déjà. Je l'ai appelé la Tarmotte en français (Marmotillo en anglais): mélange de Tatou et Marmotte *clap clap platonique* Merci, merci uOu Son origine vient... d'un rêve. Je rêvais que je jouais à Jak 3, un Terraformer atterrissait (comme à la fin du jeu quoi) et il y avait une colonie de ces petits rongeurs qui fuyaient en se mettant en boule et en roulant à grande vitesse Ces petites bêtes sont donc inspirées:   • des marmottes: comme elles, elles vivent en colonie dans des terriers. Mesurant environ 30 cm, les sentinelles sont capables de s'agrandir jusqu'à deux fois leur taille (mesurant ainsi vers les 60 cm) afin de mieux observer les alentours.   • des tatous: pour leur capacité à se mettre en boule   • également des araignées "acrobates" (nom scientifique: Carparachne Aureoflava) qui fuit leurs prédateurs... en roulant! * * * For this last day of this very nice thematic week, here is a little beast that I have in mind for a very looong time already. I called it the Marmotillo: mix between Armadillo and Marmot *platonic clap clap* Thank you, thank you uOu Its origin comes... from a dream. I dreamed about Jak 3, a Terraformer landed (like at the end of the game) and there was a colony of these small rodents which fled by putting themselves in ball and by rolling at high speed   So these little animal are inspired by:   • marmots: like them, they live in colonies in burrows. Measuring about 12 inch, the sentinels are able to grow up to twice their size (thus measuring around 24 inch) in order to better observe the surroundings.   • armadillo: for their ability to form a ball   • also "wheel" spiders (scientific name: Carparachne Aureoflava) who flee their predators... by rolling!

Day 6 JnD Theme Week: Wildcard (Muse)

* * *

Le thème du jour 6 était un autre animal connu de l'univers de Jak (Muse, Yakow, Taupe éclair, etc...): j'ai choisi la Muse, car je n'avais encore jamais eu l'occasion d'en dessiner et parce que j'aime beaucoup cette créature. Dommage qu'on ne le voit que dans le premier opus. Autant les crocochiens sont l’alter ego de nos chiens, autant je vois les muses comme étant l'alter ego de nos chats. Je me suis inspirée des servals et des caracals pour le design plus réaliste des Muses. * * * The theme of day 6 was another known animal of Jak's universe (Muse, Yakow, Lightning mole, etc...): I chose the Muse, because I had never had the opportunity to draw one before and because I really like this creature. Too bad we only see it in the first game. Just as crocadogs are the alter ego of our dogs, so I see the muses as being the alter ego of our cats. I was inspired by servals and caracals for the more realistic design of this creature that I like, and that I would like to see again in a next Jak.

Day 5 JnD Theme Week: Flut Flut

* * *

Etant donné la taille des œufs (i.ytimg.com/vi/vAMNGSm9_04/max…), les Flut Flut adultes doivent être trèèès grands... mon frère a pensé alors à The Last Guardian (Tricooo ) Voici donc un Flut Flut version The Last Guardian * * * Given the size of the eggs (i.ytimg.com/vi/vAMNGSm9_04/max…), the adult Flut Flut must be veeery tall... my brother thought of The Last Guardian (Tricooo ) Here is a Flut Flut, The Last Guardian like

Day 4 JnD Theme Week: Metal Heads

* * *

J'ai eu beaucouuup de mal à trouver une idée pour les Metal Heads. Alors voilà juste un petit rendu d'un Metal Head Centurion (vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ja…) J'ai un peu modifié son armure... du coup on dirait un mélange d'un Elite et d'un Jackal (Halo) * * *

I had a loooot of trouble finding an idea for the Metal Heads. So here is just a small rendering of a Centurion Metal Head (vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ja…)

I modified his armor... so it looks like a mix of an Elite and a Jackal (Halo)
