Brief story.
These creatures have a symboyotic relationship with the swamplands, they are as much a part of the landscape as oxygen is to human survival. The swamp lands have been polluted and abused but these creatures of old hold on to life, as the survival of the land depends on it, if they die the land dies. They have no energy or spark of life for themselves, only enough to stay alive for the land, in return the land carry's them, looks after them, protects them the best it can.
Main focus was on creating a sense of sadness and lathargic movement.
Done in just under a day, 7 hours , had immense fun with adding the skin textures and vines. A looser image than usual. Please, comments welcome.
