The Slig's nervous system:p

Matriar 06-24-2006 12:08 PM

A Slig's nervous system?!?!?!!!
Don't overdo it, pal...! :p :D

Bullet Magnet 06-24-2006 01:26 PM

I always thought a paramite's skull would have metatarsels fused to the skill like a hand, and that there would be a bony plate underneath their torso.

Those are good pictures, but look closely at the paramite's legs of a rendered image: They have two digits on each limb originating from the first joint, but they are thin, scrawny and held close to the largers digit. I assume they are used in web spinning...

Slig's skeleton and muscle:p

Zerox 06-25-2006 01:41 PM

Nervous system appears to work well, I see why there wouldn't be much in its legs anymore...
Skeleton needs closer observation to see how it works from the front, but it seems alrighty. How long did it take you to do those muscles? And you are spending too much of your time doing all these...give someone else a chance...

dripik_12 06-26-2006 09:25 AM

the muscles? It's only take...1 or 2 minute

Matriar 06-26-2006 10:35 AM

1 or 2 minutes??? :eek: To draw muscles is something very complicated I think. If I would draw that it would takes longer for sure.

...1 or 2 minutes! :nonono: I hate you :p

Just kidding :)

Matriar 06-26-2006 12:19 PM

Just dismiss me if I say that I hate you. I really didn't mean it to. I'm only jealous of your ability to draw ;)

Zerox 06-27-2006 03:54 AM

As am I*bricked*
Muscles may not be that difficult, if you have a goiod reference as to what muscles go where on a human body, then apply it to a slightly distorted (well, not the head...) version in the Slig. 1 or 2 mins is still pretty quick.
LOL Godzilla avatar.
Hmmm...without looked at mine, try a Sea rex skeleton, Dripik 12, to see how you think it'll work.

Slaveless 06-27-2006 06:38 AM

Hmm, these drawings all look well done, and highly focused on the intent of making an atamony. But my thoughts is that in the Slig's nervous system, there would be a great deal of nerves in the tail of the Slig, to control the pants. Also, wouldn't there be at least muscle in a Slig's tenticles? They seem to do something while a Slig is speaking. But besides that, I'm impressed with these atamonies. Maybe I will do one sometime....

dripik_12 06-27-2006 07:07 AM

Here's the Sea Rex

Matriar 06-27-2006 11:45 AM

Nice. :)

Don't they have some carnassials? I never played Munch's odyssey...

dripik_12 06-27-2006 10:50 PM

I don't know

I never played Munch's oddysee too

Mudoko_Jedi 06-27-2006 11:13 PM

I have and you never see one.

Matriar 06-28-2006 05:03 AM

Yeah right. Me too :fuzvamp:

:D

Zerox 06-28-2006 01:18 PM

Sea rex's weren't even in Munch's Oddysee. They were cut due to technical constraints and their massive size. They only ever appeared in that one video...and if anyone could give me a link to that video, I would be most grateful.
Based on the Sea rex skeleton, I presume that means that you think muscles go right through along the whole tail as opposed to lots of muscles at the base, hm? (their isn't as much bone for muscles to attach to there, but from the pic thats what I based, with alot of flesh around the base of tail and along the tail, very thin with little room exepect for bone and tendons)
Just my thoughts. Also, you don't think its neck is very flexible, or AS flexible (this is based on the no. of vertabrae in the neck)
Just what I can see there.

I would be too. I never saw this creature before.

Mudoko_Jedi 06-29-2006 03:33 AM

somebody please supply us a link to this holy grail of short videos with searexs in them.

Steef skeleton

gobbo 06-30-2006 01:07 PM

i alway thouth that paramites were spiderlike and did not have bones.

Mudoko_Jedi 07-01-2006 04:07 AM

same here.

Zerox 07-01-2006 01:32 PM

Ooh, good Steef.
Paramites have, if you look closely, muscled limbs etc. which need a skeleton to attach to.
paramites are thuoght of as spiderlike only mainly because they can spin web, I would have thought.

Mudoko_Jedi 07-02-2006 12:06 AM

what do you base the spinning web theory from.

Bullet Magnet 07-02-2006 08:41 AM

Have you not played AE or AO? They spring traps by suddenly descending into the screen on webs. The temples they reside in are full of giant webs, in necrum you can see the mummified remains of dead paramites (they wrap up their dead like spiders wrap up captures insects). Also in AE you can possess them and make them climb up paramite silk strands.

I wouldn't think there would be particularly, since I presume they are not modified by the Vykkers in any way. The pants may be controlled by certain muscle movements in the vestigial legs of the Slig (not a tail, I've checked...and VERY vestigial. They're fused together)

dripik_12 07-02-2006 11:26 AM

Grubb,Fuzzle,BigBro and Slog skeleton

Mudoko_Jedi 07-03-2006 01:40 AM

no i havnt played AO or AE but i know the story.

Matriar 07-03-2006 03:17 AM

The slog skeleton is cool!

dripik_12 07-03-2006 12:08 PM

thanks:)

Zerox 07-03-2006 01:56 PM

I agree. Thses are very good, but I jsut think differently about the Big Bro...I've looked really clsoely at the pictures and pair this woith design drawings, and it turns out really that the head goes right back to enar the body, with eyes right near the front, and a short, stiff neck supporting it. Do you know what I mean? I'd scan pics to make sure, but that would be illegal...damn. (I mean pics fromk the Art of OI book)

Mudoko_Jedi 07-04-2006 12:12 AM

Don't post that here, use PM. Don't SPAM or post off topic randomly like that.

dripik_12 07-22-2006 07:51 AM

1.Gabbit skel.

Matriar 07-22-2006 08:04 AM

Mhmm :)
Looks good!

Mudoko_Jedi 07-22-2006 10:15 PM

thats cool.

ziggy 07-25-2006 06:51 AM

I gave a shot at making a paramite skeleton

Matriar 07-25-2006 07:02 AM

:eek: Wohow! That's a great paramite skeleton! :D

Zerox 07-25-2006 08:56 AM

Kewl, but it's a bit hard to seem some of the bones clearly from that angle. And with the outline. Also, I'm not sure about the hip. I'd be sure it would have changed to a more suitable shape, as it looks human. And humans are bipedal.
Don't mind me though, I'm just nitpicking. I complain about everything anyway.
The Gabbit's snout tip is cartilage then, I presume?
And obviously, it's 100% class. As usual, off course.
