Tentacle thingy

sevenfingers

Very much a WIP. Based "loosely" on a concept from the parasytic moon project. Thanks goes to Mathias Kollros for painting it and Kenny Carvalho for letting me model it.

The tentacles are underdetailed, but I'm on it. It's just a little slow

Joao Sapiro

you love squishy squashy stuff dontcha ? jk lol

one word : fabulous, i specially like the tenticles since they actually seem bony from the inside eheh, great job on the head ! well done

sevenfingers

Thanks

Actually, I'm no huge fan of squishy squashy... it's just that I'm building stock-models for a porno-project... It will sell well in Japan

Josh_Singh

hell yes! awsome man. I love the way you get the specular so SPECTACULAR!

XepptizZ

Tentacle-rape \o/

Seriously though, that's a seriously good looking thing. With that funny specular I had to second guess if it was a model or painting :P.

Also, just pissanting, but those little bits of dirt on him, do they show on the specularmap?

I swear I read that as "testicle thing"
Fuck. Gotta keep balls off my mind.

Zergxes

Nice!

nitzmoff

Terrific! It looks as though it's 2d, not 3d, and in my opinion, that's when 3d looks best. The whole thing has a wonderful painterly quality to it.

Spacey

Totally thought it was a painting at first glance. Nice job so far.

spacemonkey

very painterly indeed, so whats a human scale compared to this guy? its hard for me to visualize his size

Steve Schulze

Neat. Now if you wanted to be super duper awesome-like, you could stick this onto the body of a jogger, ala Sectaurs/ Shepiero's concept tag http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c346/Shepeiro/squidrunner2.jpg

sevenfingers

Hehehe. If I ever make a jogger, I know what headwear he'll have.

spacemonkey; the scale is like... 3.5 humans tall, or something. It'll show better when I've finished detailing him and put him in a scene for some scale refs.

Soul; if you want I can add a set of testicles to him.

Thanks all, feels good that you like it

Honolulu_Ninja

Nice!
Really like the style of it, especially the head.

rooster

it looks painted, very cool! love to see an animation in this style

Ferg

love the organic "hard" edges

ver nice... has a wonderful 2d graphic novel feel to it

GLandolina

that is amazing, i'd love that to see that animated in=engine, can we see a wire?

sevenfingers

Thanks, no wires to show really, the base is dead simple and the subdivided wire is just plain white
This version is a little more complete when it comes to the modelling (still have high freq detailing to go), but it lacks proper maps and stuff. Leaving that until I got the modelling done.

noritsune

wow! that shader is beautiful. how on earth are you getting that wet slimy look - are you using a fancier method than standard specularity with adjustable eccentricity? please tell.

sevenfingers

Yeah, no specular reflections really.
It's using a HDRI coupled with fresnel reflections.

ebagg

Awesome dude, you always have the most sexy shaders goin on!

Wells

you do gelatenous shiners so nicely.

me wants to hump it.
