Information / Commentary
- Regular Version
  This was a pencil on paper sketch. The coloring was the only digital alteration made for this Version. ...and then I tweaked his toe nails on 08/03/10.
  
  The Thelling II creature is based on a combination of the two earlier creatures, Thelling and Kayzahr. The idea of a Thelling, a large four-legged beaked mammal, comes from my STP story, which I have been working on for several years and probably won't ever finish.
  
  Head-Sketch
  The first image is the concept head-sketch I created when revising the Thelling creature. I then created the second image by warping the first image to make it less "smiley" and less "glaring". I then based the head of the full-body sketch on the warped image.
  
  Morph Comparison
  This is the Morph I created between the Thelling II and Kayzahr creatures. The majority of the body parts were a fairly straight-forward morph. The head and background legs were a little more complicated. The drastic change in the jaw line of the beak led to some difficulty. Hundreds of morphing points had to be tediously arranged around the jaw area to make the transition work without fluttering/glitching. The most time consuming task, however, was the background/left legs. In order for the left legs to morph correctly, I had to do them separately and then paint them back in. A lot more complicated than it sounds... Kayzahr's left feet are more hidden than Thelling II's left feet. I had to digitally create the unseen parts of the Kayzahr feet, in order for Thelling II's feet to have something to morph with. ...well, I think it was worth it! :)
