Modern Mythology, Rise of the Plastic Age:
by Fiddzy on Jul.30, 2010, under Cartoon Design, Character & Creature Design, Concept Artwork, FiddzyDesign, Prop & Technology Design
The Rubber Golem is a mysterious modern elemental, that first appeared locked inside a container full of the rubber ducks which make up the vast majority of form. Its origins and creation are entirely unknown, with many sometimes wild theories explaining as to how it got in the container to start with and from where it gained its lone space hopper head piece. Since its first appearance the Rubber Golem has completely vanished, becoming nothing more than a modern myth, with only the occasional rubber duck left in an obscure location to remind the world of its presence.

Zear Zip (Left) & Zear Tark (Right)
Although I will admit that its not one of my best or personal favorite drawings, what I do like about it is its use of colour. The idea behind the piece was to design two different yet closely related sentient species, here shown in the form of the Zear Zip and Zear Tark, two not very sentient looking bird species, hence the necklace.

Bugbird & Psychohare:

The two images below continued the new artistic style I have been playing with in recent designs, using a mixture of bold sharpening lines and realistic shading and detail, creating this almost real world/comic book character blend.
Ruur – Pyromaniac Bounty Hunter
The design behind the Ruur’s character and appearance went through several different phases. Originally appearing with a more goat like facial structure, the Ruur was initialling going to be depicted with Ancient Egyptian stylistic undertones. Then its design shifted to become a more oriental armour clad bounty hunter character before eventually shifting yet again to become this more whimsical grenade juggling jester like character as shown above, gaining a more hare like appearance.
Unlike the Ruur, the Mikoogrupp or “Bugbird”, was a much more straight forward design, with the only real changes between this its final form and its initial design being a removal of a second pair of smaller praying mantis like arms.

The Poala of Prema Zan:

I designed the Poala to be a race of telepathic crystalline entities, that can control their technology with their computer like minds. In addition to designing the Poala I also wanted to design their homeworld, Prema Zan. Inspired by the new concept of dwarf planets (Plutoids), I decided to base the design of Prema Zan on the real world dwarf planet Ceres, a dwarf planet found in the solar systems asteroid belt. Stylistically I took a slightly more cartoony approach with these artworks.

Parrot Beak & Dragon Ferret:

Semi-Fun Fact: The Psittacodu, appearance is based on a genus of parrot beaked Dinosaurs known as Psittacosaurus.
Semi-Fun Fact: The Jeepeg’s design came from mixing elements from both an eastern world dragon and a ferret. Its name, Jeepeg, is a pun on the file format, JPEG.

Weapon Testing:
by Fiddzy on Aug.12, 2009, under Concept Artwork, FiddzyDesign, Prop & Technology Design
My first individually designed weapon prop done specially for this portfolio. This alien gun was designed to be a cross between a rifle and a shotgun, with the intent of it being wielded by a large, strong race. Although I will admit its not perfect for me this is a step in a new direction. Since I generally consider myself to be a character/creature specialist.

Path Watchers:
by Fiddzy on Aug.12, 2009, under Character & Creature Design, Concept Artwork, Costume Design, FiddzyDesign, Prop & Technology Design
These two characters where designed to have a more fantasy, Elf like sense about them. Rather than being more science fiction and alien focused.
