[WIP] Shadow Shambler - Missing Image Fixed

on: March 08, 2008, 12:58:49 am
on noes!  Hesper's forest is being overrun with Shadow Pests!  One of the bigger varieties is the Shadow Shambler



Shadow Pests are made of a dark sticky slime.  I tried to show that with some shiny parts, especially on the round head.  I'm pretty happy with his left hand, but his right one bothers me.

Is his right hand supposed to be angled toward the camera? The position looks a bit unnatural, I'd have thought that normally in that stance the right hand would be angled away. Not too much would need to be changed though, just put the third claw(?) along behind his arm. Though on second thought I can't tell whether or not you were aiming for it to look like that - if so then darken it a bit so it looks further away and foreshorten some.

Sorry if I'm talking crap here, just a newbie sharing her 2p lmao.

not at all! that hand was pretty jacked.

I thought the torso section needed some interest so I added a tummy.  A belly button didn't seem right for a slime creature so I added a tubey spigot. My wife saw it and wondered if it was a snuggle monster because "it's SOOO cute!", so I changed up the head too.  I also added more highlights in an attempt to make it look shinier, and some "knuckles" to one hand.  Finally I got rid of that jacked right arm.

oh, I replaced that flickr image but thought the image URL would be the same.
