Adult Basidirond

Full adult fungus with tentacles and voracious appetite is just about what you don't need when you want a good night sleep… Just another D&D creature I fleshed out into the tabletop.

Sculpting and concept art was just a joy… at all times the words "Feed me Seymor" made me happy.

I sculpted 2 different versions for this too… One opened and the other closed like digesting.

Immature Basidirond

Early life form for a Basidirond, which grow quite large and menacing.

Little sculpt.

Phycomid Cesspools of the Depths

The Pycomid may look like the normal flora you can find in most D&D caves but they are more than just the normal fungus, specially for those that venture too close.

Another project concluded.


PYCOMIDS

ASCOMOID

I was challenged to come up with the concept and sculpt for one of the early D&D creatures.

The Ascomoid, as we know it, was just a floaty sphere with gas holes… thats it… not that interesting.

From that starting point I come up with something more bulbous and primal, almost like a fleshy textured floating unicellular looking thing. 

Personally, part of fun of producing concept art is imagining how a new creature will live its life, what eats/hunts and its life cycle… a bit of Darwinism is totally my cup of tea.

I sculpted 2 different evolutionary stages of the Ascomoid, one sill fruiting with a stalk and a fully matured adult.

And the fully matured one.

MYCONID HEROES

Another project finished and quite the challenge!

Five Myconid creatures that pushed me into the universe of all things fungi.
What a blast to create these concepts and sculpt them. Quite happy how these have turned out in the end.
