This creature was first created as a pencil sketch, and then scanned in. I then recreated the line drawing in the computer by tracing over the original sketch using the 'vector nodes' method. I then digitally shaded and colored the creature. I then decided to removed the graphic black outline and push the shading further.
I got the name "Zarkin Frood" from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," (good movie) and it means someone who always knows where their towel is. I just thought it would make a good creature name.
