Title: Tentacle W.I.P Update
Post by: redshadows on 02 September 2012, 01:15:57 PM: Hi Everyone :)

I have decided to have a go at sculpting some large monster tentacles.

Here is the W.I.P of first one, I am going to do about three or four of these and some bases, with them bursting through some wooden floor boards etc.

I'm not sure about the Suckers, What do you think? ???

And a scale shot with a GW Chaos Warrior.

I'd rather you went in a direction more akin to the tentacles from the film "The mist". Here you have the concept art, by none other than Berni Wrightson:

I'm taking for granted you have seen that film... If not... go and see it! Now!
And then search for the concept art. Great inspiration.

Post by: Malebolgia on 03 September 2012, 07:50:32 AM: They need to be bigger. Muuuuuuuuch bigger!
The gaming world needs more huge tentacles for scenarios...there just aren't any.

I've Started on another tentacle and finished a submerged head of a sea creature. I'm going to do a few different ones.

What do you think, do you think he needs eye lids?

There's also anoother one where the octopus from the movie is shown in "real life" rearing it's head above the water similar to your work in progress, but I can't find it :(

As already posted/suggested: let's have a 'hunter' tentacle a la the mist please. (large shaped lobed squid tentacles)

(http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/mist.jpg)

Also go for a watcher in the water alternative head and you've got a king of the bands (;)) creature too.

Just about to start on one of these ;)

How big do you think it should be?

Thanks

At least 1/2 man sized for the grabby bit I reckon. Again mist movie references will help.

Post by: Ballardian on 14 September 2012, 02:41:47 PM: If the section with the mouth is approaching human sized, the total length of the tentacle would have to be around four inches, which would make them very impressive. In the film their proportions aren't quite that big, the mouth section was perhaps a couple of feet - but surely bigger is better!
