I like the Master of Unlife also, and your little puppet looks very good.

Thanks! next ill be working on building the sets over the next two years - that's gonna be a lot of hard work X_X

Took a load of pictures of the Work In Progress Tolathian vehicle - which still needs a decent name.





It still need's a weapon and I'm trying to figure out how to make that, but you can see the two greek style pillars poking out of a cloud the cloud part was made from expanding foam. The weapon will be mounted on the small rectangular area on the front pillar btw.

I'm quite happy with how the pilot is "hard wired" into the vehicle with the link on it's back going into the shorter pillar, with it's arms directly linked into the control unit sitting on top of the front pillar.

Huh, very weird! Wasn't expecting anything like that.

Maybe use a cloud name for it? Nimbus, perhaps.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Never been a big fan of sci-fi vehicles in general - so I want mine to be something cool and original, the Luuran have the Eye Of judgement ect.

Good suggestion, perhaps Nimbus Velum? Velum is a cloud described as "a ship's sail – sail-like in appearance" which seems to fit it being a vehicle.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

Nimbus Velum sounds pretty good, and the description's certainly fitting.

Will other Tolathian vehicles have a similar design? If so, in addition to cloud-names, maybe also use names evocative of the architecture; Parthenon etc. The combination of greek-pillars and clouds makes me think of "Olympus", too.

I won't be doing any more Tolathian units for a while but do plan to add new stuff eventually - I did want them to have a second larger vehicle at some point which I called Cloud Burster (allthough renaming it to Olympus Cloud Burster makes it sound more badass!). But yeah, at this point they have ten units which I think is fine for a while (the other 2 or 3 factions will have the same so theres a good amount of stuff upon release!).

Here is the Work In Progress Luuran Karindrasura's. They are a sub-species in the same way neanderthal's are of humans. They are shorter, bulkier and less intelligent, more tribal and hardier.




Not particularly sure if these are any good though, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

Crests are fun, makes me think of that one jurassic park beastie :P Placement of maw's neat, rather vagina dentata, but they lack depth since the teeth are just on top of a flat layer of green stuff. The two bottom limb-y things, alongside existing Luurans, look a bit much like like a maw was sculpted over the tentacles of a normal Luuran - maybe change how those two things attach to the body, maybe make them look a little more vestigial?

What's the little sack on the side of their head?

Always liked the concept of having neanderthal/modern humans existing cooperatively, same deal with these guys?

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Thanks bro!

On the teeth on flat surface, nothing much I could do with that sadly - I did sculpt some tiny tongues which I tried to look like was coming out of the visible flaps on the flat surface though.

On the two bottom limbs, I'm reworking them now and hopefully they'll look better.

Also while I'm at it, the Nimbus Velum is nearing completion - it has a weapon now, allthough I might add something at the end of the barrel :

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

The columns/clouds combo's already pretty esoteric, the angular sci-fi kinda clashes/looks kinda bolted on (I suppose that could also apply to the control panel). Maybe continue the architecture theme and add a facade of an eldritch cyclopian face, with the prominent eye being the source of the attack?
