    I think contrast is important in horror too. I would be interesting to have the figure of a cute child but have their entire head open into a toothy maw once they lured you in.

    Haha, I like that idea

    I was thinking about doing a black eyed kid at some point

    Actually, combining cute and killer is kind of a cool idea. I like it. Here is a piece of mine. :)

    I'm an alien guy the more aliens the better.

    More aliens in the works

    Speaking of aliens....  Okay, not exactly "monster" territory particularly, but one thing I've kinda been wanting for awhile is a really CUTE sort of preteen-kid grey-alien character, ideally something based on Genesis3 kids.

    I think Rawart may have something in that direction, althought it might be fore Genesis 2

    (Goes and does a search through RawArt's stuff.)  Hmmmm... the HyGrey aliens are kinda closer to what I'm looking for, but oddly seem to have a slight bit too much Alien Nation about them to quite fit what I'm looking for.  On the other hand, the K4 Grey Alien kid is kinda growing on me a bit.  He's cute, I might get him later.

    On the other hand, what I'm really looking for is something with a far more almond-shaped head, very much like the first three images in the enclosed screengrab, only with the head maybe about half the size seen in the image, or smaller. Grownup and kid versions would make sense, so there could be families. It would need to be usable in both a sorta-cartoon environment AND a sorta-live-action-ish environment without looking out of place in either.

    Edited to add: Hmmm... now that I go back and look more closely, some of the other headmorphs in the K4 Grey Alien pictures DO look a little more almond-shaped.  Okay, maybe he WILL do. :)

    The best alien that they put out for this type (which I like also) in my opinion is Unsolicited Off site Commercial link removed if you play with the morphs you should get what you want. But I would not mind seeing a more Hi Def version of this made for the Gen3 Male. With added morphs for the cranium.

    Don't post that porn in my thread.... Just kidding that's a cool figure. Daz will probably remove it though.

    I like the mouth on that! Was the head inspired by the Beast, from 'Krull'? It reminds me of that.

    Going to have to disagree with RKane, however. A sense of symmetry is the one thing which I find is vital for creatures. It's bad enough when a human character has a blemish on their face, making it impossible to slightly morph the same character and use several of them in one scene (family relatives and such), but monsters/creatures absolutely need to be able to be depicted in a group.

    For instance, I loved the face of Abhorrentus, but the creator missed a sale from me, specifically because of how it has that assymmetrical spike on only one shoulder and not the other. There isn't any way I'd be able to render more than one of them in a single scene (and I would have actually needed it to have done that) and not look weird. Symmetry allows multiple creatures of the same 'species' in a single scene to be believable. If the maker of that character had at least allowed for the spikes to be turned on/off, that would have been an acceptable compromise, but without that? No sale from me until it has a drastic discount in some future sale. And that's a real shame, because the face is amazingly unique and clearly had some excellent work put into crafting it. :(

    Fortunately, it looks as if this new Fallen One character could now possibly occupy that niche for me. :)

    So you are saying it's asymmetry unseetled you? :) Point made.

     

    I am sorry, but I am just tired of Hell of total symmetry. For instance I LOVED the new figure Dale because his features had a hint of assymetry. THE WORLD IS NOT PERFECT!  Make it weird, people. :)

    No, not unsettled. Just made the product completely unusable (and, thus, not an option for spending my money on). I need creatures to potentially have the option of being rendered in groups of at least two or three. Giving them an assymetrical feature makes them unique, but also makes them completely unable to be rendered in groups without it looking just downright bizarre.

    What about asymmetric creatures where you control the degree of asymmetry via morphs to the base creature model or morph?

    Xeno makes a good point. It's a lot more work, but basically it'd be something like a series of morphs, so that you could shrink/expand different elements of the figure.

    It's certainly something I've considered doing. I wouldn't want to step on Daz's toes with their morph packs and also most of my creatures are meant to be and designed as a full "character" with specific elements designed very specifically for that creature.

    I get what you're saying, Josh, but the way DAZ does it is usually paired symetrical morphs rather than individual morphs that can be applied to varying degrees. That's how I am doing them for the "pretty boy" I posted an image a page back. wink laugh

    So glad I found this thread, so I don't have to hijack your Exile thread, lol.

    I would love to see something like "Fluffy the Crate Beast" from the original Stephen King Creepshow movie. And a giant spider, I love the old giant bug movies. I haven't been able to find a good giant spidet that looks good up close. Although, I realize thats out of your scope right now, as you said you want to stick to G3M and G3F based.

    Ha, a Crate monster is certain possible. Maybe with some LAMH presets or fibermesh. Anyway, it's definitely a cool idea.

    I checked out your site and was dissapointed that they weren't Daz models that I could buy.

    I would have bought them all LOL

    Haha, thanks. Slowly working my way there. I have endless ideas, and I'll probably resurrect some of the concepts I have on my site into the Daz realm.

    honey I'm home :) well this sounds like paradise for me this thread so many ideas for concepts I have. And many of you have already suggested stuff I love to see too. Another idea no one has mentioned is biomechanical vehicles/machinery and living  weapons

    That's pretty funny. That's a Neville Page design. I'm curious to know what he'd have to say about that.

    I didn't think it was armor thought was part of the skin texture blending scorpion and the rock like how with a mermaid's tail scales blend in with the human skin parts

    a preying mantis version would be cool

    Just kind of funny. I've seen Neville work before and I know how anal he is so it would be pretty funny to ask why he made that choice. Praying mantis would definitely be cool.

     I dig that idea. Creepy kids has always been a go-to for me.

    On that note, I need to pay attention to this thread more. I'm a horror/creature fanatic and really loving the stuff you're bringing to the daz-table.
