[WIP] Alit - by Nandi

Wow. I guess I'll just go fuck myself then. Jesus...

The reaction may have been a bit blown out of proportion. [External image]

@The Comfy Cushion- that wasn't directed at you. It was directed at everyone that can't seem to stop nitpicking on every little thing that gets posted on here. I said "you know who you are" so that anyone with a guilty conscience would know it was to them.

@ Everyone Else- Yeah... I might have over reacted. It's just that he stated that the model was done in the first post of the thread. It's like someone building you a free mansion and you complain that there aren't televisions in the bathroom. A "thank you" would be more appropriate.

I am just full of joy when I see the creatures being made for Skywind. In ten years Morrowind modding there never was a single mod even close to the level of quality and art like the creatures being made here.
The sculpt is perfect and someone on a low skill level like myself (or even below) should be very careful nitpicking on something that awesome.
If you dont pay these artists, be nice.

Nandi this creature is perfect!

> It's like someone building you a free mansion and you complain that there aren't televisions in the bathroom.
= I don't use tv, and may be because of that i don't understand analogy : Electronics is'nt an integral/fixed part of building like an anatomy and it can be changed any time.

> A "thank you" would be more appropriate
= Compliments to whole model quality are included in comments.

> Some people would rather just try to assert their artistic vision than do any actual work
= I have only newbie skill level in ZBrush and zero in animation. But i always saw nitpicks only as potential fuel to upgrades, i didn't see it as some sort of offensive.

holy sweet it is awesome! cant wait to be killed by that hell chicken on lvl 1!))

A realistic Alit??? What a peculiar idea :-)

An Alit is just a carnivorous mouth on 2 legs lol...

( comment from a person with no modeling skills whatsoever.)

that looks really good! I think the eyes are fine like that

I think it looks great and the eyes are good like that. I think they were black in the old model, but I like the yellow a lot more.

If you want to go crazy with some unique looking reptilian eyes just do a search for gecko eyes.

Looking really good, I think the eyes are fine too.[External image]

Very good details.

A bit too brutal for creature that kills it's victim by venom (especially slaying victim from afar).
I think it can be more agile cobra than bursting-with-muscles python.

Gila monsters are also venomous, and komodo dragons may as well be.  Rather than instantly paralyzing and killing prey, the Alit's poison might just make it so they only need to strike their foe once to guarantee an eventual kill, and just track their prey to find its corpse later on.

Also, looking at the gila monster, they have a cool looking tongue.  Maybe the Alit's tongue and mouth could be colored to something like this?

> look toxic
Gecko is'nt venomous. Gila (Heloderma) venomous but more for defense than for attack.
Bright colors will be unprofitable for kind-of-predator alit.

@denevir : Strange. In my version MW Alit's attack was distanced and with area-of-effect.
 

the upper jaw needs some work  and the eye pupil could be larger nowe it looks like te are shinning very bright licht in his eye's  very the rest it looks good maby  some light stripes and spots ore some  darker parts i am not sure hey looks a bit dare i say it dull when it comes to skin  colors 

I think poison should be a thing even healthy Alit do when they attack.  As a poisonous animal, its part of your lifestyle - not something that only kicks in when you're sick.  It might also be nice if Alits were themselves immune to poison, like Argonians.

@Smite: Yes, that very strange when in games poisoning and diseases mixed.

Well, a komodo dragon's "poison" is actually highly septic saliva, not  venom. I imaging that a diseased alit would be similar.

Also: Great job so far, man!

You know what might be interesting? Horizontal eye slits. I know goat eyes have always instilled fear into my heart. :P

Even healthy Komodo dragons have tons of terrible bacteria in their mouths, though.  Oh!  And antlions, man I could tell you some cool stuff about antlions!

Actually, the bacteria thing is wrong. Komodos are naturally venomous with venom glands.

Komodos are naturally venomous and all they have to do is make a small bite and then drool a bit into it to kill you. Even if you escape you are pretty much dead unless you get to a hospital really quickly.

very nice alit! I love the skin color (hope you are going to put some more spots or lines on it), but mouth..dnt think that pink is good for it. May be some kind of gray/blue mix, really?

If that monster had a thong on, I would tuck all my dollars in it. That's how good it looks.

looks great man. the only thing that I would say it needs is deeper color to it. Other then that it looks amazing!

(whistles) hey there good looking ;). Amazing work Nandi

Just saw the low poly, nice work on the topology! This is going to look cool in engine :)

Hi, hice work, but can u save roiginal color of model?

[External image]

also, will it sit?:) because Alit is alit :)

Iniquity is right, plz try regional color

@DaedricLord: I think Iniquity meant "original", but your idea is quite better. Maybe not even regional, but female/male/adolescent too.

Nandi, could you return Alit those two fangs? [External image]
