Outsider WIP

[Legacy_Izk The Mad]

               Hello all! I wanted to run some new things I've been working on by you guys. I've been trying to expand upon the Outsider selection available, at least for my own needs. I do intend to share them with everybody. I'd love to get some feedback on what I've got done so far. It's starting to become a project in itself. I'm planning on a few celestial/good creatures too.


Bhaal Spawn, aka "The Slayer" (made from Devils_Hitman's Abishai, and skull by Six)






Custom Pit Fiend inspired by BG2 (Abishai again, w/Goat Beastman head)




Custom summonable demon "Eibon" (made with Magma's Cornugon and Bioware Gorgon)






"Powered-up" version




Babylonian She-Devil (made with Magma's Erinyes and (CODI?) Kocrachon)



I think I'm going to revert back to the Erinyes thighs on that one.


Any feedback, criticism or comments welcomed and appreciated. -Izk

PS: Next up, the horrors of HP Lovecraft!

               Very nice. I think you're right about the thighs.

               These creatures make good Daemons for WH40K, especially the first and second ones (which reminds me of a Keeper of Secrets), I'm certainly going to use them.
Great job again ^^

               Look great!  I'm working on a demon infested module where these would be nice!

               @Heatmiser, demon infested is always good in my book, and that's a great name btw, or should I call you "Mr. Hundred And One"?

Thanks everybody! I still have to do some tweaking on the Pit Fiend. I cloned his arms to make the smaller pair, and there's some clipping issues with the original arms during the conjure animations. I've been researching how to fix that. I'll have to either remove those animations from the small arms, or try to fine tune them, which is a bit beyond me, at the moment. I also have to merge his tail into the model. It's currently applied in the toolset.

I've been considering trying to make "Diablo" with a combination of the first two. The back spikes got me thinking about the way he looked in Diablo 1. Give it a muscle texture on the body. It just might work.

There's more to come. I'd really like to make some good outsiders/celestials, and I've recently discovered the KoToR heads Este put together. There's a few that would be superb for that. I want to do some of the Angelic Ranks, like Cherubim and Seraphim, and I don't mean cute little baby cherubs. I've had Valkyries on my mind too.

Thanks again for the encouragement!

               Great-looking work, Izk.  :-)  I particularly like the slayer and the custom pit fiend.  They evoke classic fiendish looks without depending too much on the standard models.



I'll be very interested to see what you do with the KotOR heads!  If you have either of the KotOR games and there's a head that you want converted that isn't yet in my pack, please let me know.

               I like the Bhaal Spawn... that's pretty cool.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Izk The Mad]

               Thanks so much, Este! And I just love those heads, especially the hooded female one with the eyes covered. That's one I definitely plan on using.

Many thanks to you too, Drewskie!

I'm happy to hear feedback on the Bhaal Spawn/Slayer. I'm especially fond of that one. I originally made it for a custom polymorph for a henchman in my module, inspired by fond memories of Baldur's Gate 2.

               Decided to add some new pics today. Having a lazy and unproductive streak at the moment.

A while back on the old forums, I had posted about whether there were any creatures based on HP Lovecraft's works available. I could almost feel the blank stares, and got a few comments that you can't really do Lovecraft in NWN. I think I've come up with some reasonable substitutes, though I have to say, my mental picture of what they should really look like is beyond the capabilities of NWN, I think. I'd love to hear your thoughts on these.

Dream Avatar of Cthulhu (Half-Orc w/Mindflayer bits and anims):



Spawn of Dagon (something I made up):





Yithian-inspired "Scholar" (made from CODI Secundus):




Nyarlathotep (one several different "forms", made with Six's Morg skull and z217 beholder):



Mi-Go (made from Bacar model):






This last one really has nothing to do with HPL or outsiders, but I've been wanting to share it, because I know how much this community loves rats!




What do you think? Any suggestions welcomed and appreciated!

               Dude, those are awesome!
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Izk The Mad]

               Thanks Invisig0th. Your praise was just enough to spur some productivity today. Something I started a while ago I finally finished today!

Nyarlathotep form (Halaster body with CODI Parai mask)



I ought to start making up numbers for these "forms" as I make them, 52, 712, 11...
"Pray you never meet me in my thousand other forms, for I am Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos"


Thought I'd stick a few more "outsider" pics in here, too, though they're not traditional demons or celestial types. More like strange Planar things, inspired by creatures in Half-Life:

               That's some wild stuff...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Mecheon]

               Man, loving that Mi-go

My only commentary is that the Cthulu could maybe have a bigger head? I'd also maybe switch his wings out for Dragon ones, although this may just be because I'm not as much of a fan of the bat ones

If you're into making other things, some of the critters from Dominion's 3 Atlantis race might make suitable minions for the Dagon

               That 3rd pic in the last post by Izk The Mad would make a good Atropal.

               *Izk Googles "Atropal", then adds to idea list!*

Whoa! I like that. My kind of creature. Undead god-flesh things.

@420, thanks for sharing that! If you should happen to read this, I could really a use a CEP team member's input on something else: http://social.biowar...1/index/4598806 Just need some input on 2da #s. That same info would be handy for when I release these, too.

@Mecheon, thanks. That Mi-Go was my third attempt. I agree about Cthulhu's head. I had some problems trying to resize it though, because it uses a skinmesh, and it seemed to get screwed up when I tried to reset the x-forms on it. Still playing with that. The bat wings were originally made for something else, but the color matched Cthulu's hands nicely. The Mi-Go's bat wings are semi-transparent, btw, with a honeycomb cell structure on them. It's hard to see in the pic, but I really like how they turned out.

I made some other Lovecraft critters recently I had to share, using Six's ghouls. Pale grey and pink versions are in the works. Sometimes, my own stuff creeps me out a little, lol. Here's some of "Pickman's models":
