Zarnik

This project was created for a challenge on Bobby Rebholz's Discord channel.(Creature Design Workshop)

In the remote reaches of Northern Siberia, amidst the dense forest cloaked in eternal frost, there lives a creature known only by the whispers of those who dare traverse these frozen lands. This being, named Zarnik, was once a simple chamois—a mountain goat, agile and unassuming, living among the cliffs and snowy ridges. But after the crash of the meteorite, something profound began to shift.

The meteorite lay dormant for weeks, pulsating faintly in the heart of the forest. Zarnik, curious yet cautious, approached it out of instinct. Over time, the proximity to the alien rock changed Zarnik and other animals of the region in ways beyond comprehension.
