Playing with some Palworld designs
Because apparently translating cartoon critters into my less-cartoony style involves thinking about how they might actually function as real creatures. It's been fun but a little challenging.
Rayhound first because it's my favourite mount at the moment :D I've just gone with a more generic dog face but might look at some more slender snout breeds if I draw it again in the future. I think I need to make the legs a bit shorter too.
I imagined that the horn things on its face would be keratin kinda like rhino horns, and the tail would be hollow/light weight like those really long horned cows that use them for cooling in hot climates??
LOTS of chillet because it's a friend's favourite mount and I've been enjoying experimenting with the design. I used an otter to base the body and a single head design on, but then settled on using a seal for a more rounded head/face in the end. I imagine them to have dense water resistant fur like either of those critters. Had a ball with the paws, took some liberties adding fluff in places. Haven't thought much about the tufty things on the cheeks- are they purely fur or a bit of flesh/organs??
Only done a brief look at daedream. It was surprisingly easy? I combined rabbit and goat/sheep traits. I'll probably play with some solid hooves like on horses later to see how that looks, but I quite like the split hooves. LOVE drawing long flowy hair~
Aaand a bonus digital sketch because the way players ride chillet is one of the dumbest, most unstable looking things I've ever seen 😂
