but there is something what bugs me... not sure.. but i guess ists a problem with the legs for them self.. this thing seems not to have bones in it´s limbs.. but in it´s legs.. thats a bit wired.. this tentacles idear is superb but seems to stop before the legs..
but could also only be my stupid eye.. lalala
don´t mind.. this is super nice and i love to see it finished .. so gogogo
omgz! he's stomping his own tail... that's hardcore
Lookin really sweet dude. Dig'n the tentacly skull armor.
not really sold on the swirly baby arms. it's a neat idea, but the concept could be pushed a lot better. maybe extra dangles that weren't long enough to get tied into the bunch? Anyway, it's partly the proportions (of the pseudo-arms) that bother me, and partly that it's a neat idea that doesn't pop out until you first realize that the muscle structure on the arm doesn't feel right at all. I mentally said to myself "Why did he do the muscle structure like that? That's all wrong, he knows better." and after examining more closely realized that it was a tangle of tentacles. I think you want that to pop out more. Instead of saying "that's wrong... oh wait.. neat..." you want "blah jtaw2 SWEEETqT!!!#!2#!" right? yeah.. you know this... so I think it's a neat idea that needs to get worked out better.. good luck. Dig'n your entry so far.
ha thats nice.. i have no problems with the lil amrs..
so tim.. you have to decide what to do..
do you want jesica who is strong like hell and drives only in red winged washers
or simone, who has hardly a brain but could cook (like hell) and makes everything you want (or not)
or dou you want gila who is going to buy you a deamon toaster and loves playing burnitdown with you... and the toaster
everybody says something other
make up your mind NOW!! "blah jtaw2 SWEEETqT!!!#!2#!"
indian_boy - I've changed the shape of the legs to give them flow with the armour - they arent supposed to be cyborg, just armour enabling the tentacles to act as a leg.
Vitor , thanks seeya in the field
rollin , well the final idea is that the legs are formed with tentacles bound together - like the smaller arms - it should be pretty evident when I model them
EricElwell - they arms didnt read that well there.. too many twists.. while its not 100% obvious from my fianl pic they are still bound , slightly plumper and there are les twists!
MoP -thanks
Askhat - definately not a human in there but certainly a creature trying to act like one
rooster - yeah I will definately give a weapon some thought.. it'd be a shame to not utilize the polies in some form!!!
Zcubed glad you liked it
vahl - thanks man;)
Noel Cower - well some guys are modelling already.. I wouldnt worry too much.. its all about pacing yourself anyway!
hot stuff - this beast is my favorit.
Your imagination is simply stupefied-amazing or stunnig ,
don't which word is better to use in this case ,...
...maybe just "whoa" !!!
i love how the concept has it's own internal logic. looking at you think, this just has to work, right?
the one area i think falls short is the exposed toes, since they're boneless there is no way they can support all that weight. he'd simply fall forward.
ahh... i misunderstood the earlier sketches...
but apart from that: i now luv the thing entirely... the legs match beautifully with the rest, and the idea of everything being tentacles is cool too (didn't realise it about the arms until u mentioned it)...
lovin the piece! can't wait to see it realised!
I love this design and I think what makes it so strong is color scheme and the balance of curvy vs spiky shapes. Here's an idea for what you could do: add some spiky elements also on the feet, as a form of armor/support for tentacle ends, and that way you add some more of this contrast, and it could work nicely as all the spiky parts would almost go in the same direction and in addition they would make his "feet" look stronger and able to support all that weight.
One thing that might help this piece some is some distinguishing features on the tentacles to distinguish top from bottom. Just like octopii have suction cups on the underneath, and snakes tend to have flat "bottoms" of their roundness, it gives you a clue as to how the tentacle is oriented. You might have already planned that, but right now they just read as round shapes and I think they could have more visual interest with a varying cross section.
I got an idea for you, why not have the legs be tentacles all all packed together into the shape of legs, and also for the small arms. Its just a creepy idea to have this creature trying to make its self look more human by packing its self into the human shapes. Also i love ben's idea of going more octopus tentacles for them.
Some people have mentioned not seeing the distinct tentacles being bound to form the limbs. I eventually put two and two together after staring at the toes for a lil while, but it took some time to dig them out, so to speak. If you're wanting to do another concept pass, emphasizing that aspect a tad bit more would be great, otherwise I'm sure we'll be seeing it in 3D soon and our questions will be answered.
after looking at it some more... I have the urge to grab his lower tenticles and milk them like a cow teat... mmm milk. Wonder if he'd mind... might like it, oh snap.

I also think that the feet cant carry all the tech and the big tentacles. 4 legs would be an idea
but apart from that: i now luv the thing entirely... the legs match beautifully with the rest, and the idea of everything being tentacles is cool too (didn't realise it about the arms until u mentioned it)...

He looks like he would feel cold to the touch and chill any enclosed space that he's in ..
A lot of character for a seemingly obvious demon/alien
The concept looks awesome so far, some octopus/squid like suction cups on those long tentacles could be a cool addition though.
He/she/it definitely needs some bulk in the cod piece, even if just a little bit, to get rid of the textured-bikini-bottom look.
I'd also go ahead and add a pink feather boa for that extra bit of contrast to really make him pop.
my awesome crits aside, this whole thread makes my pants tight.
There will be tentacle love for everyone, ok?
I gots to BED. I'll respond tomorrow after sleep
i can't wait to see it develop... it's gonna be killer!
that made sense right....
lol, jk...
umm... don't mean to be an annoying little brat but:
"i wanna update! :boo-hoo: where is update!"
seriously though... even if u only added an extra stripe to the iris... me wanna see!
I have a head ache tonight so I need to go bed early :O (1.45 am) :_(
