Yes it is :) That's where my inspiration came from. It should look a little different by the end though.

Definitely not a negative. I've always loved the Morrowind aesthetic and wished Bethesda would make some Elder Scrolls miniatures. (Although I do remember someone on Dakka Dakka sculpting them from GS.)

Interesting and unusual idea, looking forward to seeing this thing :)
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Some good progress made on this guy.
The main bodies nearly have all the jelliness added to them. I'll be sculpted some sort of gills to the front and the back might have some sort of platelet tecturing to it. The harnesses still need to go on. I need to do the undersides as well. I'm sculpting 2 of them and will see which looks the best. I'm really hoping that it doesn't end up looking like some sort of alien with an S&M fetish.
Other than that I still have to do:
Tentacles (Lots)
Bottoms to the baskets
Merchants
Attaching ropes.
I may sculpt a second sign to go on the other side.

I'd say get a room but that's not an image I want in my head  lol

Some more progress.
I've started cataloging this on my sculpting blog too.
Pictures here, more info on the blog.



I'm really happy with how it's turning out. Although at the moment it looks like a blob on a leash... Yeesh, I hope when I add the tentacles it will look more like the picture in my head.

Hope you don't mind me giving my two pence?

The staps look great and all. I'd just say to increase the balloonification (if that's a word) The top bit doesn't really scream balloon or floaty thing to me but the others bits between the straps are closer to that.

Looks good all the same!

I get you. I'm probably too far along now to change the balloonness (if that's also a word). I may see how much time I have at the end. The "gills" can probably be remodelled easily. It's just a matter of time now though. Thanks for the feedback :)

More progress. Underside nearly completed.

long tentacles completed, 4, or maybe 6 to go. But smaller

I'm liking this  8). Looks like you still have a lot of putty work to do (so many parts ....): do you think you'll make the deadline?
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2025 = 74
(2024 = 38; 2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)

I think I'll get it sculpted in time fairly easily but painting... maybe not.
