WIP Purple Worm

<rigging up the tackle...>

 

Big Purp,

Carcerian just *had* to open up that can of worms...

 

I just couldn't resist (though I'm really hard at work doing work-like work stuff and couldn't possibly have time to waste fishing).

 

Planning three skins (body, neck & head) and everything boned.

 

We'll see how I get on :-)

I can't wait to slay that nasty wyrm

<popping some corn...>

 

Good luck with that ;-)

 

Here's a rough of the head showing scale (textures are barely even placeholders :-P )

 

A little bit of work on the side-flap mandibles (also boned ;-)...

 

<...and settling in for the show>

I have to say that I love this already.

 

Do they make good pets?  By her casual stance, she seems to think so.

<ambivalent about...>

 

I guess that all depends on how nasty you are and how little you smell like food :-)

 

That's my stock "Scale Dummy" I made a while back for checking sizes in Max. I guess I really should give her a texture...

He looks a bit like the Bobbit worm:

OMG! What the hell is that?! Kill it!! Kill it with fire!!

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_MannyJabrielle]

               

It looks rocking!


The mandible flaps made me think of this:

 

rar, rise up and eats the adventurers!

Bobbit Worms basically are every D&D monster.

 

Any chance of a Sandworm redo? I've always needed a sandworm, but none of the worms on the Vault have that sort of version to them.

Heh nobody has ever done sandworms justice, in the novels they have crystal lightning teeth '>

 

 

Tho have to admit, always loved Geiger's take on Dune Worms:

 

 

The RL Sandowrm is actually quite colorfull apparently...

 

 

The Sandworm aka King Ragworm (Alitta virens):

 An annelid worm that burrows in wet sand and mud. It is classified as a polychaete in the family Nereididae.

 

They have distinctive traits, including... 

• Often reaching great length, sometimes exceeding four feet


• Numerous, highly vascularized parapodia [The parapodia function both as external gills (the animal’s primary respiratory surfaces), and as means of locomotion (appearing much like short legs)].


• Sandworms eat seaweed and microorganisms.

<squirming...>

 

Yeah, eunice aphroditois (Bobbit Worm) was the inspiration, though I'm hoping for a more plated, rather than scaled texture.

 

If anyone want to collaborate, as usual, I'm all for it. Especially if someone wants to work on a good texture...

 

Moving my updates to Project Q where they belong ;-)

Does this mean you won't be releasing this as a stand alone?

<gets his inner...>

 

*All* my stuff is up for grabs always. You know that, 3 :-)

But I almost never just drop a model on the Vault.

They usually go in the CCC or Q or something.

 

Not sure why... probably because I get distracted so easily :-)

 

This is being built for the Q, but damned if I can think of any reason not to pack it up separate...

...Except I probably wont update any standalone. And things in Q *do* get updated...

 

IDK, you want it separate from Q?
