This week's theme and brief by previous winner, RottenPocket

Creature of the Week
»Plague Beast«

"The plague of icky oozy sores and festering wounds twists flesh and warps bone - this creature is clearly afflicted and will do anything in its power to spread its malady."

The best of the COWs will be picked by an anonymous poll in the Finals thread and the winner is given the opportunity to pick the theme of the next COW's design, as well as becoming the title banner for that week! So go hard, design something interesting and unique!


Guidelines:
  • No photograph paint overs, must be 100% original work. (See next rule for exception)
  • 3D is permitted and renders MAY be used as whole or in part of a painting, as long as YOU created the work. Pre-made and/or purchased online assets are forbidden.
  • Studies are recommended, but not required.
  • There is no restriction on image formats (horizontal, vertical, square).
  • Environment backgrounds are optional.
  • Keep in mind you are not required to stick to what is in the passage. It is more of a guide in terms of mood.

Rules:
  • You must post at least one WIP in the WIP thread to be accepted into the final poll.
  • Finals must be posted in the finals thread before the deadline.
  • This has to be a creature, but humans can be with the creature. Humanoid creatures are allowed.
  • At least 3/4 of the creature must be visible.
  • Only ONE submission per person in the finals thread.
  • No fanart. We want to see your original, unique interpretations!
  • Voting will be held for 5 days after the deadline.
  • In an event of a tiebreaker, a winner will be chosen through a randomized name picker.

Deadline is Saturday, August 14th @ UTC: 23:59

I procrastinated so much that I only just started working on it this afternoon, so... hopefully I finish it by tomorrow BUT here is the obligatory plague rat. I tried to give it a unique spin by making all its boils into tiny malformed skulls.
Nice little guy, I like his claw-like spines and his lil' hands. Feel free to post it in the Finals thread regardless of whether you finish it or not; I don't have any requirements for polish.
