Demonling Queen
polycounter lvl 7
This is a concept I'm working on for a character this semester. I wanted to do something that is not a biped and a bit more of a beast. My big inspiration for this piece was how a wolf spider caries her spider lings on her back, so I wanted to make a queen-themed character.
My original concept was for an insect type of creature blended with female anatomy. I wanted the human elements to be beautiful and contrast the crude and creepy insect parts of it. It was suggested afterwards that I do all beast and no human.
So I did both concepts and would like to do a vote on which direction to take. Also, C&C are welcome on other aspects of the concept, 1,2,3 GO!

Can't wait to see what comes of this.
you may want to add in a couple more sets of legs - at least one more to give her the 8.
The big spikes we're purely for silhouette, and with he final piece I want to have a few lings hanging from them.
And the tits, well, demonlings get hungry too? :poly124:
Reminds me a bit of the Spider Daedra in Oblivion.
I like the side view, especially of the one with the womans face
The large limb spike on the abdomen might get in the way of the folding spinal spikes if she rears up. I think it might define the back silhouette better if you removed it.
Remember less can be more
Looking forward to seeing this one completed
lol wut
*edit - i'll clarify. I think this advice is arbitrary and is not fitting here. While yes, a well made human character will often stand out in a portfolio, I don't think adding human anatomy onto your monster for no reason other than this will elevate it in any meaningful way. I would rather see someone competently create their vision then see a human face or human arms shoe-horned in merely to prove that they can.
anyways, i think the half woman, half spider thing would have been a lot more interesting, but it's up to you of course. looking forward to seeing some progress!
The head should be awesome.
loving the face detail !
try to play with mass design and with it's pattern(scales should be repititive somewhere, you'd better to reduce ammount of pattern and element types)
Is that eggs or skulls stuck to its butt?
love the backside !
what do u have planned for the final composition and lighting ?
maybe a cooler pose then the one in the concept art !!
keep going bro !
Here are a few quick references that might help,

This isn't finished, still looking for C&C
Looking good OP =]
Also, some people might have arachnaphobia? lol

Also, I really think you need to go back and ad some geo for the 'spiderlings' on the back. around the edges they flatten out noticeably.
Everything has been fantastic so far, a fun model to watch!
DOF can give a piece great life but i think its a little too much
maybe have it begin at the end of her ass and the end of the ground
your don't want to drown out those textures
looking a lot better than those renders i saw in class though
good job buddi!
In that last update you have lost alot of that detail, like the others have said. I think it's best if you keep it simple? Unless you can achieve a nice render but also quite sharp and maintaining detail.
now go get a JOB !!!
