detour, FLAILSNAIL

So this was made for a trade. Kinda makes me wonder if I should do the fiend folio after the monster manual. Which .... is probably gonna keep me busy for the next while I reckon,
Some shit about snails from the top of head;
Snails have an awesome file tongue called radula.
I gave the flail like a horrible dripping maw of endless teeth instead. Also some snails have sex by shooting darts loaded with sperm into each other. And because they are both hermaphrodites, both are trying to get the other pregnant without getting pregnant themselves, so it becomes this slo-mo drive by/jousting contest.

JUBILEX version 2.0

SO Jubilex. How to make a blob interesting, take 2

Okay it now looks like a exploding space kebab. From beyond or some shit.
Here are some more

I have nothing really to add. Why am I sober?

COMMISSIONS

So I been all doing a couple of commissions laterly and I figured I'd share them.
Coz I'm totally into people paying me to make them something. Comment or email me if you want something.
Any here's a travel addition owl

A jabberwocky

 

a mini demogorgon..

 

a giant crayfish

Gonna start on a flail snail soon, which I'm looking forward to. Then the glaberzu. Which I'm also looking forward to. In other news, kittens.

HEZROU

So I've always had a concept of a vrock and a hezrou filling like a beebop and rocksteady kinda role in an evil organization. But more likable, maybe more like a Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern kinda way? Like the play versions of them in Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are dead?
Not that I've seen it, I just know it as a reference. I should at least read it now if I'm gonna reference it, its the only example I can think of a bantering duo of henchmen, who see further than there betters but have no ambition to rise above them, and are resigned to there lot as shit kickers and go-fers.

its a bit of a challenge making it a distinctive reptile/toad thing when its a pretty generic  shape. Judge my effort then...

ALso did some better pictures of the succubus , slowly trying to up my photography. Grudgingly.

THE PROCESS

So as I am waiting for the glue to dry on the hezrou ( i think i have been mis-spelling it hezroa all over the shop) , I decide to share some of the elobarate design procedures and extensive concept drawings that go on behind the curtain;

 some demogorgon heads and some fat thing vomiting souls

axebeaks. I really like what was going on for the top left one, like a super streamlined murder machine, like roadrunner but like with it axing shit. beep beep.

demogorgon was gonna have like an x in his forehead . But meh.

I may have spend nearly a minute on this drawing. It hurt.

I AM SO EVIL I HAVE 2 HEADS SO I CAN YELL AT MYSELF

hezrou ideas. Or slaadi.

vrock..and roll baby, ah I'm sorry that was real dumb.

this picture of a basilisk on the other hand is like, the opposite of dumb. "undumb" if you will.

squak squak stab stab

babau and hezrou sliding into muppet templates

bears, beetles

glaberzu (spl?), the boar/ape one that I can't help think would sound like rodney dangerfield (nafeshnee) and I'm thinking I will give a kiss the chef apron (kiss the psychopomp?) and some kind of jaw on leg arms thing

glaberzu! So these are like the sneaky, cunning , demons. But still like mayhem incarnate , so I.m thinking it should have this sly dog kinda thing with its little human arms, but have its lobster arms looming the fuck out over it and barely under its control. Like its trying to be all suave and convince some archmage about some dark alliance and its claws get bored and start pulling down light fittings and ripping up books,all while mr glabrezu (m.d) is trying to maintain its veneer of charm.

hezrou..

babua
..

hezrou again, starting to get cute

and yeah this is the one I started sewing from

and some more demogorgon , coz I'm making a mini one. Any day now.

VROCK

The Vrock! 
 Gleaming eyes and verdigris inlaid spear! Dirty tattered wings! And 2 pack a day smoking habit!
Used wire in the claws , a little bit of fabric paint for colour, silicon sealant on the face for sheen and shaping, and pva to hold the wings together.  And the spear.
I got fancy again.  Prob will do so for the hezroa too. When I was making the giant ape, it kept trying to be a slaad or a hezroa. So this should be a piss in the cake right?
I should start making a minidemogorgon for a friend, but I'm procrastinating because mandrill faces are fiddly with those little coloured patchs. I might give this one a double butt to go with his double head.
Here are the photos oh eager children of the grime and muck:
