Look at him! What a terrifying creature! I think he wants cuddles.
This cutie is based on a concept by Meg Viola, which can be seen here on her Instagram. I saw it when her mentor shouted her out, and it was so adorable I had to take the excuse a few months later to figure out the 3D form when I needed a lower-pressure side project.
Though I seem to have trended a little more spherical on every shape, it was a blast to design based on the one image. When I was nearly finished and asked the designer if there was name other than Mothtaur that I ought to be using when posting (not yet at least), Meg did give me the bit of lore that this is the baby form (larval or nymph, I didn’t ask) of a mothra-like kaiju. Which is flippin’ cool, and if or when she makes the game I’ll be so excited to see it and the official mothtaur form.
You can see the fully animated version here on ArtStation.
