Post by: Black Cat Bases on July 30, 2009, 04:40:06 PM: Hi,

We have the first of our Deep Ones out today.

Firstly we have a high priest:

Thanks for looking! :D

They go on the 'to buy' list.

Post by: Heldrak on July 31, 2009, 03:33:59 AM: Those are some of the nicest I've seen.

The whole point of Deep Ones as far as I'm concerned is that it should seem at least vaguely possible that they might be able to crossbreed with humans, and those fit the bill... :o

The problem with a lot of the Deep One figures I've seen is that they're simply too damn fishy...!

Post by: Alxbates on July 31, 2009, 04:38:16 AM: oOOOH! I like 'em! Very nicely done!

I especially like that they're unarmed - I don't imagine my Deep Ones as using weapons, unless they're still mostly human.

Good stuff.

Thanks

Post by: chicklewis on August 01, 2009, 01:17:08 PM: WOW ! The pseudopods seem MUCH too regular and cylindrical, but that is the most pissed-off-looking Shoggoth I have ever seen !!

Good stuff.

Post by: Voogla on August 01, 2009, 08:38:23 PM: well, for me a shogggoth is bubbles and not tentacles, but that is a mind thing and my general problem with cthulhu mythos minis, there are only a few out there that match the picture I have in my mind from the stories. Anyway, lets see how it looks like when it is finished!

Post by: Black Cat Bases on August 01, 2009, 10:12:07 PM: Hi

Just to clarify a bit, this is a sea shoggoth or at least that was the idea when I sculpted it >:D, thanks for the the feedback, I saw it as adapting off the lifeforms it had consumed which is why it is tentacled, but I will re look at the tentacles as per your comments. I really like the bubble idea and may have a go at that sort for the next one 8) Thanks for the comments and keep a look out as I have a pile of mythos creatures on the workbench.

Post by: Bako on August 02, 2009, 01:51:07 AM: Though I too agree with the 'bubbly' idea, I really like the version you've done of the shoggoth and will definitely be after it :) .
