To recap: My senior project to to create a series of models which, while being aesthetically pleasing, also show good use of polygonal modeling practices, which in turn could be used in many situations with little to no changes to the models themselves. Also, the creatures modeled should fit with each other as a group, being that they are all very loosely based off of the vague descriptions of animals convinced by Peter V. Brett in his Demon Cycle series.
[Many of the following pictures are taken from turntables of the models]

Fire Creature: This Creature (about 1.5 feet tall) is supposed to resemble a small dog-like animal, however it's teeth and paws are radically different as it is much more oriented towards tearing things up.
This model is obviously a flyer. Making wings not part of it's "front arms" necessitated bigger wing design than originally intended but in the end it fits much better with the rest of the cast. Like every creature I've modeled, it's predatory.
This is a sand creature, highly modeled after a mix between sand lizards and alligators. the barbs on it's back may be fleshed out into longer barbs or thickened to actual spikes.
The Creature you see below you is primarily based off of what something based off of rock would look like. It's big as you can clearly see in the first image, and would be using it's arms much like a gorilla when moving around.
I call this one the Mind. I wanted it to look physically weak, but still bigger than a person, with few features concerning being predatory since it's more of a leader to the previous "drone" creatures above.
I intend to present these models using a series of turntables as well as camera pans across the models to show off the geometry. Time permitting there will be some posing as well which I believe would benefit my showcasing the creatures greatly.
