My 4-th 15mm sculpt! This is floating alien brain monster wich is loosely based on Octabrain from Duke Nukem 3D (

) but design is completely different. This is geneticaly engeneered flying creature wich can mind-control a swarm of mindless monster solders to win a war for its masters (like platoon or squad commander)

I spend many hours detailing his brain

, so I hope you like it. This is 4 parts model. 1 head and 3 tentacles. In final casted and assembled version it should have 7 tentacles (3 at each side and 1 at back)

I've attached several photos of this monster. Sorry for photo quality, I have cheap camera

Monster head next to 15mm Laserburn range adventurer from 15mm.co.uk. Head is 9mm tall and 10mm long.

different angles of monster's head

My poor attemt to assemble monster with blu tack ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-Tack ). Unfortunately blu tank hde all bottom details

Also I used photoshop to copy legs from left side to give you an idea how this monster should look like in final version. I have 3 versions of tentacles, and the idea was to cast 2 versions of each of tentacles +1 for back of monster (it have 7 tentacles)

On this picture you can see ruler, head and 3 versions of tentacles. I added a names to tentacles (wich is front, middle or rear)

bottom side of monster head. Seven tentacles should be glued to 7 holes

I really should read titles properly, I read it as "Floating Brian Allen" and I'm thinking who's he!

Anyway, you're getting good at this sculpting malarky Fjodin, nice work!
