Here's the start of what I hope will be my Lovecraftian many eyed and tentacled oozie creature:-



I've got thoughts for a biped creature as well but haven't started on that yet... well, did but it was a bit of a disaster from the start so will try again. It's not as easy as it looks, is it!  :D

Leon

That's an intriguing start...  :D, looking forward to seeing this progress!

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Interesting start, I haven't one iota of enough skill to enter this one...
Good vintage on the wine too!

Neither have I, lemmy, so go on - give it a go!
No idea about the wine other than the fact that I had to drink several bottles before I  found one with a proper cork rather than the artificial kinds. Hic!  :-&

Disaster ???.....I'm trying to put together a step by step photo guide of making a 'beastie' to hopefully give everyone a little bit of help.
At the moment that's going spectacularly wrong ! (Says someone who's supposed to know what he's doing.....HAH !!)
I should have had a far better (and proper) idea of what I was aiming for before I started.....rather than just making it up as I went along.
Such is life.....

If Leon wants to post up the pics I've sent so far.....We can all 'pull it apart' together !

Cheers - Phil.

Yes, and hopefully he'll sufficiantly 'gribbly' for my pulp games too.  :d
He's now got two eyes:-

I know this is going to sound rather daft....But this sculpt has definitely 'got legs...'It's definitely working !
Really looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers - Phil.

Thanks, Phil. Hasn't even got tentacles yet!  
[Well, I had to say it, didn't I.   :) ]

BTW thanks for the encouragement about your 'disaster'. It's good to know that someone who knows what he is doing still has wrong moments.  :D

Wrong moments ?
Wrong days (at least) from time to time.....I blame it on age !

When Leon posts the pics of my stage by stage 'thingy'....I'll go through why I think it's not working at the moment...Maybe it never will, without some really drastic 'surgery' !
'Parts' of the figure....I'm not too displeased with.....BUT.. it just isn't hanging together overall to make a 'zippy' model...

Mine's having a tentacle too !.....But only the one though.

Cheers - Phil.

I'm not sure "Rainbow" would be right in a dungeon any way - though I used to find Geoffrey a bit scary!  ;)

I think a photo montage with aminations would be even scarier, a growing blob!

Yep!  It's actually really cool to see folk come up with ideas that are different to anything we've already got in the Dungeon range.

EDIT:  I've put Phil's pics up now: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2857.0
