The 31 days of MECHAWEEN!

On the Jabberwock, what tileset is that?

That would be Worm's Mirkwood swamp

 

So! This week's theme is SPOOKY EXTRATERRESTIALS, mostly based around alleged real events. So let's get some music to get us right into the appropriate mood

No one knows what's the deal with today's alleged alien. Key note on the "Alleged" there, because this is one of the most mysterious creatures of American folklore, an omen and portent of doom? Or something from beyond the stars?

 

 

The various Mothman sightings are most likely misidentified owls, of course, given that owl eyes do reflect red

Now that's a pretty scary looking critter.

Mothman was supposed to be a pretty scary looking critter. Could those eyes be made to glow like Mothman's are supposed to? Also Point Pleasant has an actual statue of mothman!

Quite possibly. If you read the original report they only shone when the headlights of the car caught them, but hey, artistic expression is fun

 

The SPOOKY ALIENS continue with what is possibly -the- most iconic alien in popular culture, even outstripping that of a certain acid blooded fellow.

 

 

(Cow corpse is one of PHoD's, given I was the idiot who actually hasn't downloaded his UFO despite the fact that it was basically the inspiration for making this guy)

As I managed to break today's model, here's another one from the Vault for you all

 

 

Anyone have a biped that uses tentacles by any chance? Or some good danglymesh tentacles I can borrow? Y'see, I need to make a certain something with a very... Familiar theme, and would prefer keeping it bipedal rather than going to Plan B, which involves arthropods and, technically while accurate for this gravity, isn't as fun.

I wanted a Martian. However, I can confirm why there aren't that many NWN things made from tentacles: They are a god damned pain to work with

 

So unfortunately the Martians are a bit more crawly than you may be familler with, but I did try for all of their bits. Also a spoiler into how Mecheon makes models.

 

If anything has anything that is remotely bipedual and uses tentacles well, please let me borrow it. Heck, I might even grab one of the Yuan-Ti models and try to do the tail into a tentaclish thing. But I do kind of like the spidery look as well

               I love that spoiler.

Welcome to behind the scenes on Mechaween. Some of these are attempted to be created right at this very moment!

 

Unfortunately, well, a lot of these need a bit more time, especially now that we're into the Aliens who all have very specific appearances, so I've just muddled together a WIP (Who'll be touched up on the weekend when I have some free time) along with the last two spoilers...

Hello! Don't worry, things happened, etc, etc, research on what to do next week. You know how it goes

 

Have a goblin. Well, 'goblin'

 

 

Tomorrow/todayish we'll finish off the aliens with something near and dear to my heart in a way, as it also originates from one of my favourite games ever

You have other favourite games than Neverwinter Nights?

Doesn't every gamer? (The original Dungeon Siege before the expansion).

Sadly the final alien has to wait a bit while I get it fixed up. Haven't picked it yet, though. My hint is you may not have realised they're aliens.

 

Let's take a look at the final week's theme: Stuff from Video Games. And let's start it with the most terrifying thing in any video game, a creature that sneaks up on you, unexpectedly, before exploding in a massive explosion, generally killing you and destroying your stuff

Well yours'll do for now... I'm still working (rarely and occasionally) on the Bomb Beasts to get them to work as per their descriptions in the catalogue.
