Custom Content Challenge: July 2014: Deities and Demigods

[Legacy_PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

               

This is the rubbish Tantric Statue thing I just did. Also Hinduesque and uses textures from the Kali Statue so I'll throw it into the CCC pile too. Nice and low-poly since I require a whole avenue of them for the Great Temple of Maldrapur...

Finished combat tests for Kali. Decided the sword hilts shouldn't be gold as there's already an awful lot of gold with her jewellery. Changed it to a mottled stone texture, as on her statue base.

Since it is apparently impossible to have six working Hand Node Dummies in a single Creature model, four of her swords have to be permanent fixtures. I HATE the inability to put shiny weapons into a Creature model without them going transparent. I also HATE not having all six of her swords look the same. Thus, I've done her sword as a weapon model (adds itself as a fifth option on the default BioWare Scimitar 1 model - doesn't override anything - unless you already have a custom scimitar there). I'll put it in with the rest of the Kali stuff. Not that you can't give her OTHER weapons, but conformity looks better.

 

Shem - I did a pile of Dead God Placeables last year for one of my Doctor Who Modules as well as use in Demoness Tales, quite similar to the MotB Myrkul thing.

I don't want to throw stuff I did ages ago into the CCC but I can easily do some NEW Fossilized God Whassnames. Now that the Doctor Who Project has resurrected itself, I was thinking of improving the Dead Deities anyway with the DemiLich skull I used for Kali's adornments... Probably still got time to get round to that this month.

 

PS:- Done an empty Altar base for the full-size Kali statue. I'll do you a Creature model with the Statue Textures as well, so you can do Harryhausen type statues brought to life stuff properly.

That looks good; Is that content available anywhere?

However a tileset of a dead god corpse (Not necessarily a skeleton), in which NPCs could walk through, would be great.


BTW- Nice statue...

I quite agree; a Tileset where you can trample about on the Dead God, as in MotB, would be brilliant.

But beyond my ability to do in two weeks or whatever we've got left.

 

Um... what content were you referring to?

 

The Obvious Spleen that Kali's fighting is one of the millions of new disgusting creatures I've done for Demoness Tales - I keep meaning to put a Spleen Creatures II pack on the Vault.

The jungle foliage comes from lots of sources, including myself.

The Apsaras on the walls, as with the carvings in the palace shots in the earlier images of Kali, are from the Indian architecture stuff I've been putting together bit by bit over the years, since one of the realms in Demoness Tales is very Hindu inspired, hence Kali's presence.

@PHOD: A tileset is over my skills too. I was talking about those piles of Dead God placeables of you...........

Shem - The piles of Dead Gods aren't posted anywhere at the moment. They were supposed to go up with all the other Doctor Who content last year but when the Project went upside-down, precisely nothing happened. I'll try to find time to update them a bit and put them in with my stuff for this month.

 

Tarot - Everyone else already knew the PHoD DW Project was resurrected - we just didn't tell you... I presume you haven't looked at my Doctor Who thread over in the Modules Forum of late?

Modules Forum, modules forum! Why would I look there? (Gnashes teeth to the accompaniment I running feet as he disappears to the (rassn, rassn, modules forum).

Ever play Planescape - Torment?
 
The bit with Mrykul is the equivalent of meeting Ravel Puzzleweaver in that game. Heck, MotB is basically why people say that its worth playing the original NWN 2 campaign, to give you the beginnings of that story
 
 
Anywho, this is a Mecheon promise, and these don't always happen, but I'm gonna post some music which might explain my plans for this one...
 

 
In Babylonian mythology, Tiamat wasn't a 5 headed dragon, but instead the goddess of the primordial ocean. She mated with Abzu, god of the primordial rivers, and in this union they created the younger gods. But Abzu realised these newer gods would overthrow him, and hearing him conspire, Enki, or Ea, the wise, slew him, and for a time became leader of these young gods
 
Driven on by Kingu, god of unskilled labor (Yes, seriously) Tiamat went for revenge, creating 11 monsters. However, against these monsters stood Marduk, son of Enki, the storm god wielding the power of the winds. He slew Tiamat and turned her corpse into the Earth and the heavens, her weeping eyes becoming rivers, her tail the Milky Way
 
Now, making all 11 of Tiamat's children would be fun. The problem is, well, a lot of them could be made ingame easily. I mean, a Weimic is a perfect substitute for Uridimmu, just make a lion head and eagle feet for the human and you've got a fine (And customisable!) Ugallu, and the Stingers make perfect Girtabilu
 
I however will attempt to make some of her kids that can't just be made with current stuff, and maybe even a version of Tiamat herself based off my favourite 2D action adventure...

Wasnt main character transformed intro something like soul eating god in one of the endings in the Motb?

If your going "Dead" Gods, nobody beats the OG  overland map of "Old Moldy..."

 

 

After "killing him" in an aborted attempt to invade the realms, you later explore his corpse from the inside....

 

 

And of course he is only "mostly dead"...

@Mecheon: I have played Planescape - torment too; it's a great game but I can't remember any dead god corpse in that game....

6 hours alone...by myself...and my coffee. Should I run naked through the house, or maybe make some models?
