Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

I made this creature for a Digital Tutors challenge "Creature from the Unknow". Its design is roughly based on a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It was my first sculpting project done in Zbrush, also using fibermesh, and then slightly edited in Photoshop.

I wanted to make a creature that seems dangerous, but also a bit lonely.

"He is the Messenger of Winter who travels through the mountains alone. His red nose is to be seen from afar and is a warning for other animals or humans not to come near him or they might freeze to death from the cold that follows this creature. Every century or so his path changes, so it may bring cold winter to all countries that have been safe from him till now..."
