Calaid Creature Concept Sheet

Experiment 18 is a project I worked on for my Capstone while at the University of Cincinnati. It was a concept art, world building project. Over the past couple years I have been revisiting many of the creatures originally designed for the project to update them and make them seem more complete.

The Calaid is a bit of a nomadic species, stowing away on ships and spreading throughout the galaxy. They are naturally curious and can be quite destructive because of their curiosity. Calaid are Insectivors and have sharp beaks to be able to break through the hard outer shells of the indigenous insects. They also have soft hoof like pads on the ends of it’s toes and fingers that allow it to easily grip trees and rocks for climbing.

This is another creature I redesigned from my capstone project. I wanted a more relatable/familiar creature while still retaining some alien features.
