Floating space monster Nearly Done :-)
« on: December 13, 2013, 04:33:37 PM »
Hi Everyone  :)

This was a test piece for something different I was working on but, it didn't come out right. So instead of chucking this piece out, I have decided to make it into a space creature!

Its only a work in progress at the moment, but its going to have ten Tentacles maybe with Eyes, Blades on the end or even holding a a ray gun  :)

What do you think so far?




Cheers
George

Looks great! I would go for the blades/ray gun option instead of eyes, but that's just my 2 cents.

I like those a lot.  Big boxlike rayguns looking like repurposed early cameras would be amazing.

LOVE IT!

It puts me in mind of the Fiend Folio AD&D 1st Edition "Grell"!

Nice sculpt! I do think I prefer the original tentacles, they had more movement to them.

This is such a cool space monster. It would fit so well into any 60's/70's science fiction series. I need a pair of these guys for my Space:1999 games. I really like the new tentacles too. I agree they aren't as animated as the ones from the first shots, but I can practically see the wires holding that one tentacle up as the creature floats down the corridors.

Unless cast in resin or very brittle alloy, the tentacles shouldn't be too difficult to bend in any way people want,

Cool thing.

The tentacles should be quite easy to bend into new positions once cast in metal as PF pointed out
