This is a final project for a Creature design class, applying everything we learned in the class and creating a new creature. This creature is called the Opal Beetle, a subteranean swarm creature that uses sound waves to incapacitate passersby while simultaneously blending into the surrounding crystal formations. You can see the turntable made in Marmoset and two of the renders made in Arnold, one of the creature in its home environment, and the other of a larva embedded inside a crystal, where it undergoes metamorphosis into its adult form.
