Busy weekend, and not nearly enough of it was devoted to squigs. So, still no primer, but I did get all of the O&G riders trimmed and ready to prime. I still need to do touch-up and smoothing on the various squigs, but that's not nearly as much fun as the first stages, so I worked on the big stuff instead.
The wyvernsquig is the closest to done. The spots and horns on the back make it look like more than just a blob, but it still needs to be smoothed out.
The great cave squig looks awfully clamlike from the front, but I'm hoping to flesh out with some texture on the skin.
The giant squiggiant is big - check it out next to a regular squig. Rolls of fat are very hard to make look good, and I'm thinking that my attempts may end up looking more like ridges than fat, but again, at least it'll provide texture. Note the prehensile tongue. Since giants are prone to picking up things at inopportune times, I decided this one would need some way to do so...
The trollsquigs don't look nearly as funny with noses and lips. Something's not quite clicking here; maybe I just need bigger noses.
This weekend finally I will neither be working or travelling out of town, so there should be much that I can do. The new hopeful timeline: get everything modelled by the end of Saturday, prime and begin painting on Sunday. That still leaves 2 1/2 weeks for painting...
No more in-process photos for a while. I might post when the big guys get all the way modelled, but otherwise, I'm holding off until I've at least got basecoat plus inks on.
