    Xenogirl has to be the most authentic emulation of Giger aesthetics I've yet seen. Incredibly impressed. The skin has superb reflectivity and the level of detail makes her stunning in shadowy, low light conditions.

    Would it be possible to create Sil's segmented, prehensile tendril-like hair, from 'Species'? Would look fabulous for just about any inhuman character, but especially as a specialised option to run along Xenogirl's elongated head.

    Essentially a collection of small, rigged-for-posing tails which would be attached to a figure's head.

    Bonus points for backwards-compatibility with Genesis 3 (would be desirable for combining with the G3 Creature Creator sets), but I'll take what I can get if it can expand Xenogirl's style. :)

    There's definitely some Sil influence there already with the spiked spine. Huge Giger fan of course, so I kind of threw a mix of different references in there, including the Li paintings.

    I'll definitely consider doing some add-ons since it seems like there is some demand for it. I have to wrap up on a few other things first. I didn't realize this character would be so popular being one of the Zelara add-ons rather than part of the bundle. So, that's a nice surprise as a content artist.

    You've given me an idea I'd like to try...

    ...Why not load several copies of the EasyPose tail from "Swam's" free Alien figure and parent them to themodel's head?  If they seem too long, maybe "hide" about half of the segments, from the "base" to roughly midway.

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    with this one I added the tail from Midnight Skeleton Anatomy Pack and  sort of managed to change use the texture from her spines though in a couple places it was a bright blue so not perfect but in the render the colour changed again perhaps the lighting? Used the no breasts remove breasts morph  forget which morph pack that is from and for the eyes used sphere primitives and gave them mirror shaders - in the very first version of a certain acid blooded xeno it had eyes and almost human face image

    Josh, I want to remind you of past proposals for doing an horrorific harpy or a creepy werevulture

    Swidhelm's, you mean? That was created way before the Iray era, to say the least!

  • RedfernRedfern Posts: 1,598

    Yes, Swidhelm, sorry about that.  (How the *(&%^! did I come up with that?!)

    Are you saying it won't load because it's not Iray?

    Sincerely,

    Bill

  • XenomorphineXenomorphine Posts: 2,421

    It loads! Just doesn't look right when fitted directly to a native-designed Iray product.

    product suggesions - insect alien along the look of a praying mantis 

    product suggesions - shark head creatures, kind of an hammer headed sea demon.

    I don't know if it's been said before, but a mannequin type monster from Silent Hill.

    I was always freaked out by these.

    I think I now own two of Josh's works. I do not know why I took so long to get to this point.  Hopefully if I like these two more will join my content folder soon.  Now to start playing with my new Josh characters!

    I know you typically love scary monster stuff. Would love to see a really great Dr Conners/Lizard or Man-Bat...maybe a John Carter's "the Thing" or the "Spider"man when the Turantula tried to become Spiderman and became more Spider than man. Maybe Sauron from the Xmen.

    Hey, Josh! Ever consider doing your own fantasy animal races? Nothing horror, perse but more fantasy like a lion man or lizard man.

    I would also love to see you do something.... dare I say this.... cute? *(The crowd gasps. "I know, right?")

    Also, I would love to see YOUR work with the new Daz Dog 8 as well. :)

  • RKane_1RKane_1 Posts: 3,037

    Also, I would love to see your version of the goblin depicted in this thread.

    Dear Crockett,

    I would love more female monsters, like goblin, imps, and so on. Creepy and eerie and still whimsical. Or more "little folks" type of creatures.

    Tony Diterlizzi is an artist who worked on Planescape and Spiderwicks products, he may be a good inspiration. His female creatures are not "sexy pinup hollywood canon". They may be monstruous at time but still have a somewhat feminine feel.

    Also, a creature could be "ugly" or inhumane and still be kind, it would crea

    I would love a Momma Goblin with a rolling pin along with baby goblettes running around her feet.

    Youre probably right. I can totally see his influence in some of your designs.
