The Beast - Atlantian Beauty(Leslievdb)
polycounter lvl 15
Story:
As Royal guard of Atlantis Mezos fell in love with Neptune`s daughter Aziri.
Since Mezos was not from royal descent this love was forbidden.
When Neptune discovered of this in his eyes deceitful act he ordered Mezos to be executed.
The night before the execution Aziri tricked the guards guarding his cell, released Mezos and they both fled the kingdom.
After wandering the ocean trying to hide from the searchparty looking for them they landed at the door of an evil seawitch that knew Aziri was Neptunes daughter and she was out for revenge on Neptune who banished her years ago.
She promised the couple that she could unite them forever.
Desperate with no way out they agreed upon the seawitches offer and she transformed them into a monstrosity with only mezos being able to communicate and Aziri having to speak trough him telepathically.
The only way to break the spell was for neptune to accept the love between his daughter and Mezos but from the moment the newly formed monstrosity showed its being it was doomed to be hunted and killed not even giving its time to explain what had happened.
Despite being bound together forever they still couldn't return home, living in the shadows longing for the day they could be normal and together again.

some more work on this , trying to keep the readability in mind while i add smaller details.
straightened out some curves so that can be done with the final rig . the more scaley parts are going to get some edge accentuation in the colors
hehehe had to do it
pretty keen to see more please.
just got finished with the bakes
model
Did you forget to sculpt the scale on the back, right under the protrusion?
This is coming out really nice. A very strong piece, in my opinion.

Good luck!
well done!!
Great texture work. Good luck!
I'd consider reducing your backstory to a shorter summary--at least, I'd keep a shorter summary handy.
I'd hate to see such a nice piece lose out in judging, simply because the story was 100 words too many. Esp. if the contest comes to close decisions.
macrow: i think its more of a "don`t write a book" kinda guideline
Borodach: yeah i went back and forward between variations for it , i didnt want to make it too elaborate either so the focus would be on the character. I had crisper textures on it before but there was a disconnect between pedestal and character at that point so i softened it down a lot.
