I don't think there's anything wrong with having detailed areas and smooth "blank" areas. It adds interesting contrast

@ultraparadiso 6 ай бұрын

i think you're right. it's all about finding a good balance. i think it works well on the little guys but the big mama's back could have used a little something extra

@bencastor9207 5 ай бұрын

@@ultraparadiso compare them to their closest real world representation, this will give you some ideas of how to blend details with smooth sections, it's how I do a lot of my drawings. The problem comes with finding things your sculpts look like, sometimes animals aren't always the best example to use.

@jakelevinson7802 6 ай бұрын

Actually, I’m a strong believer that having an unbalanced distribution of detail is incredibly important for a work. It allows for some areas become the focus and other ones to present bigger shapes which help provide an overall silhouette. If everything‘s overly detailed or too evenly detailed some of the complexity, and the individual interest is lost. I really like that you have these large bold shapes in your sculptures and then have areas beneath them. They have a lot more detail to them.

@ultraparadiso 6 ай бұрын

thank you for the comment! i think you’re right, detail contrast is very important for making an interesting piece. i think in the case of the big mama here i could’ve added a little something extra on the back to break up the big smooth area a touch while maintaining that contrast… regardless it’s something i’ll be keeping in mind for future pieces :)

If you make a a small doughnut of standard milliput and press it down you can drip isopropyl alcohol into the centre then swirl it in with an old brush. Softens it, you can get to the consistence of cream and then butter in the middle. Both are great for making really workable detail textures on flat surfaces, set slowly, work amazingly easily and take all sorts of imprints from cork, sandpaper, cloth, foil, anything applied at the right stage of it setting. Millibutter also makes the gap filler liquid greenstuff ought to have been and once set it's still totally sandable. (Credits to Marco at his NotJustMecha channel)

just my take on the "creatures" 29:44 Graveyard Barnacle: when too many graves are disturbed/robbed, or too many get jilted, dumped in a ditch or whatever, this lump of rot and viscera slowly forms (usually in the dead center of all of the "offences") mainly benign, specially the smaller ones, but anything that gets too close is suddenly engulfed in a cloud of paralytic spores, growing a the beginning Corpse Garden ((Currently Unseen)) 29:58 Mole Worm / Wolf Mole: Slender yet stocky with large hardened "fingers" a sudden swarm can turn a calm walk into an absolute blood bath. Theres been odd occurrences of just a singular one of these creatures sitting out at night, necks craned straight up into the sky... while others swear in the distance a sorrowful haunting song can be heard cutting across the plains 30:07: Elongated Matriarch: in smaller "clans" there could be a just a few, while full on infestations ((ie. Abernathy Mountains, remaining a Do Not Enter zone to this day)) could carry hundreds of the broodmothers- but dont let their delegation make you feel theyre any less of a threat. Their go to is to wait for some unfortunate soul to back into a wall, where they suddenly snake their head around them to restrain the larger prey... or just diving in to anything that could fit into their noticeably smaller mouths 30:13 Tunnel Tenders: With claws on both sides of their forearms and teeth to grind through roots, rock and bone alike, these "teacup poodles" interestingly hold one of the largest jobs- making sure the crypts and death tunnels they inhabit dont suddenly collapse alongside expanding towards the S L I G T H E S T scent of death, rot, anything they can wrap their lips around that was once kicking around with a pulse 30:21 Grapple Hounds: Will cling to walls and ceilings for days near the more quiet tunnels waiting for anything/one that thinks they made a successful raid. What goes from quietly slinking around goes to getting grabbed by the face and throttled like youre a ragdoll. Due to adapting to the distance from their kin and endless noise, some have pulled off "Sound Flooding" tactics which flush out the outer edge tunnels, but could easily alert any others from the nest to your groups location. ((The "Founders" of this technique, specifically their group were severely lower in numbers after returning. Use with Caution)) 30:28 Waddlenecks or Tunnel Bears: despite the naming issue, depending where you come from, the only real difference between these and the Tunnel Tenders are size, well that and the Waddlenecks and release a screech so powerful whole invading crews to small platoons were laid flat on their backs from the sheer force they can build up in that floppy "pouch." On a rare occasion, a still living survivor can be "extracted" from said pouch... given lucks on everyone but the creatures side. 30:05 uh... im just gonna say Grapple Hound (Alt.) 30:40 Muck King: Where there is a queen, theres got to be some opposite side to it. On a turn of what youd normally expect, for every Elongated Matriarch, theres a few adolescent Muck "Princes" hanging around. Coincidentally, the Matriarch seems to have some sense of control over the adolescent "Princes" til she chooses a suiter, which in turn metamorphosis into the hulking Muck King. After their transformation, the rest of the adolescents are chased off or subsequently eaten by surprisingly both King and Queen.

@Bluecho4 6 ай бұрын

I love everything about this. The bit about flesh poking from the earth reminds me of a TTRPG concept I've toyed with for a few years now, that coincidentally made it into my own Dungeon23 project: the Meat Mold. A sort of cancerous organism with traits of both flesh and fungus, that grows in the earth. As it grows larger and more complex, clinging to cave walls or carving out its own network of hollow innards, its needs for energy increase. Leading it to spawn monsters to go forth and retrieve biomass, to bring back to feed the mother mass. Slowly turning into a monster-filled meat dungeon, whose spawn prey upon the surrounding lands. Adventurers venture deep into the literal bowels of these body-horror complexes, for a variety of reasons. Some seek to destroy the brains and pierce the hearts of the great beast, to bring death via cascading organ failure. (Though the meat mold is tenacious, and tissues may survive, like cancer in remission, to return again decades or centuries later). Others seek treasure, whether left by other adventurers, coalesced from minerals absorbed by the flesh in digestive sacks, or plucked from the meat itself in the form of Exquisite Organs with magical properties. Some folk look for departed loved ones, for it is said that the unquiet dead could bond with the meat, becoming "Refleshed". (Though the forms they take may be...less than ideal.) And then there are those who seek knowledge or power from the meat. Flesh-mages, haruspices, or more esoteric arcanists or lore-seekers, who look for answers or resources in the great beast's gullet. Flesh-cults, graft-cults, refleshing cults, and other such fanatics operate around or inside the dungeon. Nor is the dungeon itself necessarily stupid. Intelligences form within the meat, at times. Brains of various sizes and capabilities, enmeshed with the tissues and using flesh-magic blindly or with purpose. Jockeying for position, access to resources, and ultimately control over the mass itself.

@samaelfallen4068 6 ай бұрын

I’m making my own horror based TTRPG and doing everything myself. Artwork, mechanics, lore, and all the little bits and bobs of the game. I’m to a point where even though there won’t be minis or accessories available, they can be made. This video greatly helps because graphite drawing to digital art insert is a nightmare without use of my drawing tablet that’s inaccessible. Creating my own minis and environments to photograph and use as artwork sounds more appealing. But...color theory is as alien to me as these impressive horrors.

I love this!! I understand what you mean about the "blank" feeling of the back. I personally would try to make the spine or shoulder blades more prominent; it would lead the eye along the less detailed back and is accurate to high-muscle animals, like bears? I think having a slightly raised, high-contrast colored spine/shoulder blades would make sense, with how much excess flesh it has to hold up while starving; I think a good visual reference would be chronic wasting disease! Be careful looking up images if you're averse to injured animals tho!!
