Demonic Translucent Ooze – Turoktune:
by Fiddzy on May.05, 2010, under Character & Creature Design, Concept Artwork, FiddzyDesign
The design of this gelatinous demonoid, the Turoktune, was born as an experimental piece focusing on highlight rendering and translucency. Like my other most recent designs I have also thought up a backstory for these vicious underworld sirens to help expand upon their design.
A “Human” Turoktune
The Turoktune are a mysterious species of unknown origin found in the dark back allies and under layers of the luxurious casino metropolis’s world of Laz Raxi. They stalk and kill anyone foolish or drunk enough to enter the cities long abandoned lower levels, and even though the authorities “officially” deny their existence they are believed to be responsible for thousands of missing person accounts. While no one is believed to have meet a Turoktune and survived, it is rumoured that they lure in their prey with a mesmerising light display which emanates from chemical reactions within their translucent skin, captivating any creature with the ability of sight, creating an irresistible, hallucinogenic and provocative spectacle. They then consume their transfixed prey, incorporating their bones and memories into their own.
