Notes:
When I started this creature I was actually intending on having it be a replacement for my original Flying Purple People Eater. However I got so caught up in the design of the thing that it had two eyes and no horn and was fully painted up before I remembered what I was doing!
The spitting mousedragon has armour plates running from just under his neck, along his belly and up the tail to the “Problem-solvent” on the end. Getting the plates to line up correctly was very difficult. The camera doesn’t really want to swivel low enough for you to see under there very well on this creature, so it was mostly done via some very careful mouse maneuvers.
The tail mounted spitter was originally on the end of a couple of segments of limb, but I had to scrap that idea for two reasons. Firstly, it gave an uneven look to the tail, with a clear step between the end of the spine and the start of the faux-limb. Secondly, it added too much complexity, making it difficult to get all the other gnarly accoutrements installed.
The orange theme to the colours is unusual for creatures I’ve created. I’m not a huge fan of orange in general, but it seemed to work for this creature.
Interestingly, the babies for the spitting mousedragon don’t look all that different to the adults, just smaller. Many other creatures look cute due to larger eyes and other features. Doesn’t seem to be the case here.
