Cthonic Art

[erich orser]

Tom, you're just awesome. After two of these that I did (Greg included), would you be willing to give your own speech, that I can help out at? I would much appreciate this take on cephs and art. Let me (520-298-7541) know.Boy would I like to assist, as opposed to lead.

Thanks for the kind words everybody. Erich, I tend to clam up and become an idiot in front of a crowd -- would be happy to draw on the board.

I worked all day today, though it does not seem I have much to show for it: redid all the rivets, added a launch-trilobite sub, added shipwreck, doubloons and tentacle -- also some rust and extra detail.

OK, one last version. I added a name to the ship as well as more shadowy arms in the murky darkness.'

Rough sketch for Squid Submarine

Tweaked a bit more

How prolific can one man be? I tip my hat, Sir!

Another version -- I thought this thing should travel in either direction like real squids -- I think fast travel mode for the sub should be to the left -- control surfaces would swivel 180º when changing travel modes.

Very cool concept !!!!

I am going to have the USS Squidward attacking a crab sub -- very rough stand-in in picture for now.

 

[OctoPussyAZ]

Did more today on crab sub... whew!

I wish you could find an underwater theme park in need of ideas! How cool would it be to bring your creations to life?

 

[cthulhu77]

Mike and I are constantly pestering Tom about that...

"One thing though", added Olaf "Dirty Spoon" Blaauw, "why is the squid sub's shadow indicative of an arrow squid, whereas the actual fin shape appears sepia like?"

I dunno! I envision the fins to be like rounded arrowheads. Maybe the perspective is not quite right on the edge view.
