Well, again I try a monster. Gotta break loose from the mold once in awhile.

#2

:+1:

#4

I like this Slosh-is the hair/fur a combination of the fiber and smudge
tools?

#5

Slosh! I never expected this from you :warning: Talk about shock :warning: Very well done, I guess you were just letting the youngsters play with their monsters and then come out and show them how it is done. This is as good a monster as I have seen on this forum, congratulations. :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

#6

They weren’t kidding when they called him “Four Eyes” in school :slight_smile:

Nice job!

#7

very good modelling Bri…and good character development…and the rest you and I spoke of in private already… :cool: :cool: :cool:

#8

That’s really cool Slosh, you should break loose more often. :smiley:

Yeah! This is so cool. Nice, sublte textures. That hair is fantastic!

#11

That is a great monster Brian… very imaginative and well executed! I really dig the eyes and upper lip!

#12

You are all being so nice, but let’s all be honest here. This monster is NOT scary at all. In fact, like Rage says, she is “funny”. Still, the comments are appreciated. In the spirit of “If at first you don’t succeed, try try again,” let’s see if Madam Banshee’s brother comes closer to the scary end of the spectrum.

#13

lookin better though…and much scarier :slight_smile: she has a catlike appearance now which I like…maybe some seductive whiskas…hmmmmm…just an idea…yer doing good though, we just have to get some violence in yer blood…muhahahahhahahahahaha… :wink:

#14

I like the first guy - really wild. I thought banshees were supposed to howl though, not chuckle. :+1: :smiley: :+1:

#15

I’ll be the first to admit my limitations, especially in this genre. What would mean the most to me is to know what I can do to produce a more scary monster. Not just this monster, but in general. Even the dragon I posted a couple weeks ago looked like a childrens’ toy. Can’t do scary. Don’t know why not.

#16

Great picture slosh! Well if you wanna make him or any other monster scarier it would be better if he didn’t smile… in mather of fact he should have an i’m-going-to-kill-you expression in hes face. And the eys should be red or something. And you know the upper lip thing he have…Cats have those. And they aren’t so scary. That’s just an opinion tough.

#17

looks awesome slosh… and very cool hair doooooo…

#18

Both are really good but I must agree… in the second, the guy is too smiley. However, in the first one, I got a creapy feeling over that ones smile… she has that crazed look. Also, I really like the hair in the first one… isn’t banshee suppose to be like mental cases? Like they sucker people in and then pounce on them! Evil, pure evil I tell you!! Nice work!

#19

Jeesh! When you break loose you do it in a big way eh?

Brilliant work!

:smiley:

I agree Slosh - not scary - but that is not to take anything away from the impact of a skilfully created image.

If I’m to be perfectly honest, I have seen extremely few images on the Forum that I consider to be scary or chilling. Comments about them being “scary”, certainly from me and I suspect most commentators, are meant in the same tongue-in-cheek spirit in which they appear to have been produced. Mostly they have this element of caricature and/or over-the-top halloween-mask style modelling that puts them into the same “comic horror” mould. The difference in feel between a movie like “Scream” and the impact of “The Exorcist” when it was first released and had not become dated by innumerable inferior films of a similar nature.

It doesn’t make them bad, any more than the black humour makes “Scream” a bad film. Just not plain, flat-out scary.

The only exception to this trend on the Forum that comes to my mind is some of Ken Brilliant’s posts. Virtually all of them are masterfully done. They are full of often black humour that is reflected in the accompanying text. Just a small handful seem to have shifted over into the genuinely creepy and chilling zone.

At the end of the day, I think it’s largely a case of media over-exposure. There are so many horror films and TV movies of widely differing quality that we have become conditioned to them to the extent that it is very difficult to portray something, especially a “monster”, that people will generally think scary. When was the last time you saw a movie that you thought was genuinely horrific? There are a few out there, but they are very few and far between.
