Website Design : Sound COW : Bassoon Beast
Client: none • 2008

I entered ConceptArt.org's Creature of the Week #126 with this piece. We were given a sound and asked to illustrate it and explain our concept. I called mine the Bassoon Beast.

The Bassoon Beast is so named for the valves along its neck, which expand and contract in order for the creature to modulate its bellowing. Tubercles on the auditory canal allow the animal to gauge tones keenly. With these modulations, the Bassoon Beast can find mates, warn off rivals, and stake out its feeding grounds.The Bassoon Beast makes its habitat at the edges of jungles, and grazes along the lower canopy. They are very intelligent and it is thought by some xenobiologists that the Bassoon Beast may compose songs, similar to those of whales.
