March Art Challenge - Klaus

Klaus · March 8 2012, 04:44 AM

Well inspired by a certain madman's thread, I'm going to give a go at doing the Doomsday Machine Alien-style, as designed by Giger...

Here's the first pass:

Albertese · March 8 2012, 09:03 AM

Hmm....

Needs more ribbing and weird tubes...

Actually it's a great start!

--Alex

SonicRanger · March 8 2012, 05:48 PM

Needs more penis.

Klaus · March 8 2012, 07:06 PM

^^I think those are both the same suggestion!

And I do plan to add more... ummm, stuff, this is the general shape mockup.

Albertese · March 8 2012, 07:19 PM

I was going to make a penis joke too, but refrained. I love the stuff from Alien but when I looked up some of Giger's other work, I was a little surprised....

All I can say about H. R. Giger is "Ewwww...."

Cool idea, Klaus. I've always been fascinated by Giger's Bio-Mechanical style. Hmmmm, maybe the mandibles could flex open and a "teethed throat" could jut out and snatch up starships. ;-)

Klaus · March 9 2012, 04:23 AM

^^Yup, I was thinking of something along those lines.

^Alternately, beam emitters could emerge alien-mandible-wise from each of the protrusions when firing the anti-ptoton beams.

Klaus · March 11 2012, 08:04 PM

Here's a small update, tweaked the mouth a little and re-did the ribs, they have more variation and go all the way back now.

publiusr · March 12 2012, 11:36 PM

That makes it look more like something from DUNE now...

Now that would be intersting if the Dune sandworms and this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Exogorth

were related, and inspired the planet killer...

Wingsley · March 13 2012, 04:47 AM

Looks like the flying rotten watermellon from Hell!

Redfern · March 13 2012, 12:16 PM

Publiusr, I actually did that as a gag render a while ago, employing a digital model of a "Dune" sandworm as the planet killer. Oddly enough, it didn't look as goofy as I expected.

Sincerely,

Bill

Klaus · March 13 2012, 04:39 PM

Hmmm... y'know, having it coming out of one rock like the beast from ESB that the Falcon landed in and eating another might be interesting. An actual living DM. Hmmm. Something more snake-like would be Gigerish too.

Klaus · March 17 2012, 05:44 AM

OK, here's the new concept... an actually-living planet-eater.

Klaus · March 18 2012, 06:03 AM

Getting close to done I think...
