WOW!!
It's been like weeks since I posted here, but I can't not comment on these.
Overall I agree with the common sentiment that some are better than others, but none are bad at all. My personal favorites are the
squid,
floater and
jellyfish. The composition alone (texture and lighting) on the
jellyfish makes it look too good to have been done by human hands -- it looks more like a hand-edited pre-rendered CG model. I agree, though, that its weakest feature is the animation. Comparing it to the likes of the
fungoid (gorgeous pulsation) makes it seem too rigid and not "squishy" enough, which actually furthers the pre-rendered impression, too. The blades on the
cutter look a bit cheap to me. I think they need some density, like a thick edge along the dull side of the blades, maybe. Even from the side view, though, they just look too flat, and I
think the black outline with the relatively light shades and reflections makes them look a bit less finished than the rest of it, so they seem a little inconsistent. Maybe some anti-aliasing on the inside of the outline would help? The basic shape of the
sack appeals to me a lot, but I think maybe he could use some bumps or more defined texture, and might benefit from some wobbly eyes like those on your
dreadnaught. Camus is extremely right about that, by the way.
Dreadnaught totally shames
greenie, so I second that motion.
Thanks for showing them, they make me happy. You're very awesome.
Now I want to see an astronaut with a jet pack and a laser gun to blast them. Are you privvy to
Baraduke (AKA "Alien Sector"), or is the vague resemblence serendipitous?
