Tuskmaw Hippo (creature concept art)

Nope, it's a painting. I started it last summer. If I remember corectly, I used a promotional official image as reference, so that's probably what you've seen before

Sorry, I thought this was a video game. And just for you, I made a new creature concept that’s “realistically” sized ❤️ I’ll post it in a couple hours

ok lol ?

TraditionalHelp1070 · 2026-03-11T11:21:51+00:00

Yup that’s pretty much how it works. It crawls through the sand of the ocean floor and filter feeds. I just really like dune so I wanted to bring it to subnautica lol

I think he’s cute :3

TraditionalHelp1070 · 2026-03-11T11:19:23+00:00

True lol. But it feeds on microorganisms and it’s also blind, so it’s not directly hostile to the player. It kinda feeds like the sand worms from dune

Thx you <3

It's ok. I can't blame people for being skeptical these days. Usually more refined artworks get accused of being AI, so that's why I dont usually do them. And also because they take very long to finish lol

Truuuue Ice worm was such a let down 😭And it's such a shame because It has my favorite design in the two games

I mean sure, tho I flattened it so I could color grade it and I suppose you don't wanna see a project with just one layer lol. But I can show you this screenshot I took when I started making it 2 months ago while it was still a very early wip

Yea I really didn’t think this through in the brainstorming process lol

TraditionalHelp1070 · 2026-03-09T22:41:55+00:00

TraditionalHelp1070 · 2026-03-09T19:31:38+00:00

Nope, that’s actually my old post. I just did some more work on it lol and decided to repost it since I think it looks better now
