The Rake

The StoryThe Rake is a creature that haunts you in your dreams. it will appear at the end of your bed one night with a fierce hunger for violence.

It tends to appear in remote wooded areas, usually hiding within the terrain. It’s a territorial being that usually keeps to its sorry self unless provoked or angered by humans that enter its territory.

It is not some random beast from the woods. It’s a cursed demon known as a Preta. The Preta are a group of lesser known demons and under different circumstances we would probably feel sorry for the demons, but you see, the extreme hunger and thirst a Preta experiences can make them do some nasty things to humans. Pretas desperately wander the world in constant search of food and water but can not eat or drink. As a result, they become evil spirits that possess weak-minded men and women and corrupt them by making them incredibly greedy and slothful in an attempt to satisfy their own hunger and thirst. It becomes progressively more angry as it watches you gorge yourself on food and pleasantries, eventually appearing on the end of your bed in a rage that only ends in either your death, or the death of your entire household. The more people that it disposes of, the more cursed and deformed the creature becomes.

Deciding the Final DesignI chose this as my final design for the rake because it was the most interesting and it looked like a bit of a challenge to model in Maya. However to begin modelling the creature, I had to mark out the form of the creature more clearly.
