The Cyclose has really dull shading, it looks more like a potato than a fearsome monster. It looks a bit pillow-shaded, and the specular highlights probably shouldn't stand out considering it looks to be made of rock or clay. The Scylla looks much better, with clearly defined forms and a light source.
