SciFi and Fantasy Art: Vykar model

 Another photo that I took of one of my homemade models. This creature is from a planet called Thierieull, used by Ravens as their place of excecution for traitors, criminals and the inferior. Thierieull (also often called Hellgate) is a scorchingly hot world orbiting twin suns, and the reason why these creatures have an asbestos like hide which also makes them highly resistant to heat and energy weapon fire. These nightmarish creatures are highly aggressive and will kill and eat anything on sight. As well as being equipped with sharp teeth and a pair of huge, razor-sharp scythe shaped foreclaws, they also can spit a highly corrosive jet of acid and carry a deadly sting  in the blade-like tip of their long whip-like tails.  These beasts when standing errect are well over two metres in height and are about 5-6 metres in length.  They run in a downslung, almost horizontal position, with foreclaws tucked in beneath and can reach speeds of about 40-50kph.
