For this weeks contest I am entering my version of the Splinterlands Hydra.
I used this image as my reference
I started out with a simple background, I painted the sky purple to make the scene look a bit more threatening.
Then I loaded in my base figure, as you can see he is pretty basic, so I had to spruce him up a bit.
I added a texture map to the hydra to make him look a bit more realistic.
I duplicated the figure so he would have more heads, and more closely match my reference image,
Finally I painted it green and reworked the eyes so that they were white. Then I simply animated each head individually to create the animation.
