Game 2nd monster WIP!

I commissioned an artist to help with designing the 2nd monster in the game and the other day they finished it! The super talented lespacebug/Cosmicwave14 was a big help and made the perfect model for the field version of the monster.

This is what they made, an amazing big raptor alien bug guy (lespacebug named him "Claptor") he's such beautiful creature...

I haven't finished redoing the materials/textures (since like, the game has that 90s/00s shiny, plastic-y 3d look for field sprites) but I've made animations and started working on the 2nd monster's behavior and stuff. Idk if it's youtube friendly so I'm attaching gameplay of it at the bottom of the post.

Also here's what his almost-done-but-not-quite field sprite looks like on a WIP background and some of the old insectrix sprites (still haven't done their redone model yet so for now they have the old design)

I love this design so much... I just had to start working on the FMV version of him!!! So I did a paint over, trying to do justice to the original design but add in more details like the mouth and nostrils. I think that they secrete lube-like fluid from their claw things which is how they pleasure themselves (but would prefer to use the small bug monsters as mating holes)

Soooo I basically skipped some sleep to make some really good progress on him. Still not complete (need to rig the butt hole and make his paws/feet)

But everything else is mostly good to go. I did a very quick test I made in like 10 minutes (the eyes/mouth are rigged and he has a tongue)

I have been working on non-game stuff as well! I was getting the dynamics baked and tweaking some material stuff for this shot on the deep dish thing (like a week/2 weeks ago? Can't remember when but I was doing test bakes on this and did a test bake for the whole animation, should be ready for a final bake. But then I was doing some test renders with the lower quality bake to see how it looks in motion)

I'll make a post about that later, right now I need to get to sleep (so sorry about the glitchy gif, it gets bugged out like that when trying to capture pure green >_>)
