October 2011 Custom Content Challenge: Demonic Theme

[Legacy_Rolo Kipp]

               <Painting a picture...>

This will be my status post for the Demonic Altar.  See the project page for details :-)


10-30: About 90% done with OffToOn anim. The other basic anims will be pretty quick after that.

10-27: Well, lost about 4 days because of the whole reset xforms thang :-( Did get the geometry restored and added the spines.  Still have to clone the MP a couple times.  I am still hoping to have at least the most crucial anims done by Monday night.

10-23: Fixed several texture & map nits. Added blood (placeholder texture). Tweaked mandibles.

10-21: Shortened chain, created mandibles, added cuniform runes to collar & chain ("Teneantur")

10-20: Tweaked maps, cloned MPs & fixed animation frames. Still need to:

• remove two links from each chain
• add bloodstains to dias
• add blade fence
• add "mouthlike parts" ;-)

10-18: Finished crude mapping of the gruesome texture (*not* shown) and tweaked a few things.

10-17: Spiked limbs & added blood to texture.

10-16: Mount is still too fat, and needs bright blade edge. mount and chainplate need to be spiked to limbs.

10-15: Started on the mount and chainplate. Catenary for chain is good. Posture of MP is not... later.

10-13: Relinked MPs, mapped legs, adjusted torso/pelvis map. Replaced flesh map with marble.

10-12: It is still in Max.
Textures for limbs are waiting until I merge and warp them.  
Texture and map for flesh is rough <read "yucky"> but I don't want to spend more time on it :-(
Blades and chains are next.

@Rolo - how mean!  The altar cut off her hands and feet!  *sassy grin*

It is pretty quiet in here for being halfway through the month.  *playful nudges*

Actually, the followers of V'rax'l did that...
It'll get worse, I'm afraid.
V'rax'l was a flenser demon. It consumed pain. It got nothing out of death. So it  developed some... disturbing... ways to keep its food coming.

Thankfully, V'rax'l was banished a very long time ago.  
In fact, it shouldn't even be possible for its followers to activate a sacrificial altar.
Both Elloran Leafhand and I are *very* disturbed. <the old guy died seven times getting rid of the nasty bugger the last time> A-hem. <glares at his much-too-perky familiar>
Lord Elloran was, in fact, the only survivor of a five decade, hundred person  assault force... <113, counting me and the other familiars> 
And we only *just* managed it.

               I think in the last screen shot of your staute you could make that statue hold some chains and connet them to the altar.And have like 2 other statues around it doing the same thing like all 3 are holding up the altar with chains.Maybe add some steel sides to the altar

Hey! You've been peeking in my Gruesome Tomes!

Yes, there will be 3 "Actuators" attached to the mouthstone with chains and a collar.  And lots of blades. And it will have default, off, offtoon, on, ontooff, damage and destroyed anims. V'rax'l is a trilaterally-symetrical being and its a bit obsessive about the Rule of Three...

And there will be a bit of a surprise I will *not* be sharing here ;-P 

I think a certain strict Mistress would chain *me* to the Altar if I didn't give her *something* special  for the CCChallenge hak :-)

And that would be bad.  Very very bad.

Hmmm...
V'rax'l was banished first after The Fall of Man, 20,000 years ago, along with every other demon, in the Casting Out.
Again toward the end of the Restoration (~13,000 years ago)...
Rule of Three...
Oh, Goddess!

Please! I'd really like to see it :-)
Could you add it to the "What are you going to make?" thread on the project page for Oct 2011?

Oh, my.  Worse than Kansas! ;-)

Could also be used for an astral-projection realm in concert with a scrying system I've been thinking about... :-) Everything (even the shades) in shades of grey... Except the blood of the still living.

Cool.

I don't have any ideas yet for this month, and I've been busy offline.  If I do manage some free time and inspiration, it'll probably be the last day.
:innocent:

I do - albeit the quality might be dubious, I'm not sure. Got any comparative snarling sounds for me to contrast with, so I don't end up sounding like a drunken bull?

               Drunken bull sounds like some kung fu fighting style.

               <raises his snifter...>

Oh, please?! Can we have some Drunken Bull alternate combat anims?! Anyone?! <some other month, boss?> Oh.

Sorry.

...

But it would look so <hilarious> cool with a black dragon... those *horns*, you see... and the acid drool... and the as... er, bottom-over-teakettle tail-whip attack!

<...bottom's up>
