In today’s drawing I wanted to further develop the concept of the mines below Jormundael. One of the methods the dwarves have used for clearing out the vast corridors of stone is the use of creatures. A long time ago the dwarves found the mountain warrens of the Rockbreakers. A large mammalian creature that uses it’s powerful forearms and jaws to shatter and clear the rocks of their underground homes. They’re now reared by the dwarves as they are excellent tunnellers and make for fiercely loyal companions.
I am happy with this initial design. I tried to combine aspects of both honey badgers and anteaters into the anatomy to create something that looks like it has immense digging power in both it’s arms and it’s jaws. I want to work more on the design of the mouth to try and include something that looks like it could reasonably break boulders.
