@Tank: I Know! I need to make some changes... but sadly my inspiration came from som pictures of deep sea creatures and not from (The Naga)

I'll show you one of my reference image... (It's one ugly fish!)

I came up with this assasin weapon... it can be used in horizontal position to stabb and slice or... it can be used in vertical position as an axe

I've seen those fish before They use the light to lure other little fishies into their trap.

Really amazing sketch! just fantastic! Also it seems a little funny that one person/forum(?) can actually claim any right to an actual creature's features. My thoughts on it anyways

You could simply add legs instead of it sitting somewhat like a slug. It might make moving around easier (not sure what method of moving you had planed...) and you could also add really cool/deadly fins ect down them. Could also have a tail if desired

i got an idea for ya. make him an ambush fighter. assasin type beastie. you could add the lure, and make it magical so it lures its prey to within striking distance for an easy kill

btw, the fish is called an anglerfish, if i recall correctly. could also be a seadevil....

anyway, gl. you really should keep the head. its nice and freaky

some big ass ref for ya: http://animals.nationalgeographic.co...anglerfish.jpg

@Tank: It's a Viperfish
I know... This caracter will have 4 buglike legs... I'll come up with a setch soon..

I started modeling the head... I will model him naked and then I'll think abut some armor...

Interesting

Interesting concept. I'm liking where it's heading so far. Personally I think having regular legs and a fin tail would be more practical in terms of mobility on land. Bug like legs is a bold design but I'm not sure if it'll go with the overall continuity of the design. Good luck on your character. I look forward to seeing more.

I like this idea aswell. I would have to agree with redonix76 on the legs. All though it would be bad@ss with bug legs traversing the terrain and all. I'll keep an eye out for ya. Keep on crunching.

... this creature won't have 2 legs because I don't want him to resemble a human-like caracter...
he will have 4 legs!.... 4 shrimp or krab-like legs + armor

I modeled the low-poly head:

erm, i dunno man. he looks more comical then scary/deadly i would, erm, make him a more lobster-like rear body and have the torso as you have it now. kinda like a centaur.

i agree with Tank, a lobster like tail with more legs would probably look better.
