I'm going to begin sculpting this weekend. Opinions on the design are very much welcome.

Are the stitches on the eye too evocative of the Blobpus stuff?

I was going for a pagoda feel for the armor plates. Successful?

Head fin runs down the length of his back, ending in a small tail.

Other than the horns, are ppendages needed?

C'mon guys, let fly. Be brutal, if you think the design is lacking. Would you want something like this in your collection?

what does it look like from the side and back?

pretty cool drawing.. like Meatwad on Crack!!

I have some roughs of the side and back, but none fininshed to the degree of that seen above. I'm a big fan of "happy accidents" in the creative process; Other than the overall design, I tend not to plan things out very rigidly. Doesn't do anyone deciding whether or not it's a decent design a damn bit of good, I agree.

Think wedge-shaped, slug-like body tapering to a tail. Fin descending the lenth of the back, reducing in size towards the tip of the small tail.

Shit. I should just scan the damn things in...

yea - just post your sketches so we can get an idea of the shape at least... they dont need to be complete

Is it going to be done in resin or will this be rotocast vinyl? How big will it be? The design is interesting. If it's gonna be sluglike ala Jabba the Hutt it might go great with a pair (or two) of arms. Also if it's gonna be in vinyl you might want to thicken up the fins on his back (if they are fins that is).

ooo might look cool if the arms come out of the top under the horns but above the eyes

skinny

and hang down all the way to the floor

I think it's looking pretty good! The slimier and more toxic, the better!

Isn't there something from Marmit or M1 that is very similar...orange but a bit taller? I saw it the other day but forgot where.

He looks like a Spare-Rib-wad...

Please try to recall where you saw it. I don't want to produce anything similar to stuff already available.

I like this design, but I'm not THAT attached to it.

it's similar to this upside down centipede looking monster from ultraman


twintail

there you go....

Wings:



Better?

that's why i was asking about the other sides of it - twintail looks like a bent centipede, but the way you describe your design, it will have more dimension and be more of a conical shape

hahaha, nice addition. make the wings huge and articulated!

Hmmm...

A subliminal nod to Twintail might not be a bad thing.

try it with some arms in this shape

can you show a quick sketch of how it would be shaped from the profile?

Working...

do you draw with a tablet or something?


i like the smaller wings better - with the big wings it's starting to look like a messed up gremlin

Get all "Blobpus" on it and do tentacles. Or lobster claws. Or tentacles with lobster claws. I agree, it needs some sort of appendage. Also, totally Meatwad, that's not an insult or anything, just the first thing I thought of looking at it. Maybe give it a big gross empty socket instead of the stiches, and have a seperate piece that can go inside (made form a dif. color resin or whatever you plan to use) Like maybe not an eyeball, but another, smaller round character, like a sidekick, who lives in his empty eye socket.

Just thoughts.

if it was a different color, it might not look so meatwad

Quick 'n shitty side view. Sorta.

Yep.

Draw original on paper and ink/color in Photoshop. I still can't pull off sketches on screen. Gotta have old-fashioined paper.
