Valik goes all 3-D!

Woah - I knew this guy was gonna be hard work as there isnt that much visual info on Feeorin, and that which I have found shows pretty major differences - no nose / with nose, some with head-ridges, some with face ridges... arg.

Well, I went my own way. Valik is meant to be a mutant Feeorin (he has the races' version of Gigantism), not a stock canon one. So, once I got my head around that, it was easier!

Without further ado, I present - The stupidly massive Valik!



And a close-up:





Oh and if he looks big but not THAT big; he's 9ft2. See?

WOW! He looks great!!! Especially the bottom pose. Very cool.

Here's what I think could improve him:

Mouth Tendrils: These are pretty much a given on Feeorin, and I don't know about anyone else but when I think 'Feeorin' thats one of the first things that pops into my mind. The tendrils almost come out from his flattened nasal area and hang down off of his face. A good example to model this on would be Davey Jones from Pirates of the Carribean. This is about the closest you're ever going to get to a life-like Feeorin facially anyway:



More head tails: I'd go with at least 4 sets of haid tails to really set him apart from the Twi'lek's. I know there is already 2 sets which clearly states he's not Twi'lek but it may be confusing to some.

Ditch the nose idea completely: Personally I've never seen Feeorin's with a nose at all. It's generally just a raised area on their face like so:



Here's some other reference pictures for you that I think really do depict a Feeorin well:








Have to say though all in all I love the base work you've done for him. He looks the shizzle already!!!

Exellent Work

Cheers! Oddly the "getting rid of a nose" caused a MASSIVE problem, as every time I did so the face structure changed. After 2 hours I gave up

The mouth tendrils will be.... er.... "fun" It'd be a case of importing more lekku, making them TINY and having fun trying to poistion them.

I think I will stick with the nose tho, some of them do have noses - though the inconsistancy is annoying, I'll be honest!



I agree on the 'more tendrils'. I'll get right on that

Yeah I saw that pic but left it out cause the nose didn't look very Feeorin to me. I agree that you've done a great job with the nose, but is there anyway you can morph it so it sticks out anymore? Ya know like more of a 'bump'? That may make him look a little more like his species. Obviously it's your choice as he's your (giant) baby, but I thought i'd offer my suggestions anyway. Hehe!

10/10 for your first proper alien though!! I know I couldn't do it!

Okies, I'll try the nose again... its just a nose, right? (You're not gonna beat me, NOSE!!! *punches the screen*) Ahem. Wish me luck!

HOLY @%&#! That piccie of Ree is well........YUM!!!!!!



Best of luck with smashing his nose in!

Well, I cant do the nose. At lest, not without killing my pc, so I'm going to leave it well enough alone. I'm gonna leave him with his "sortof" nose and be done with it.

Still, here he is with extra tendrils and teeny tiny mouth tendrils! (they were fun)



Closeup:

Now THAT looks like a Feeorin! Great job mate! Massive improvement if you ask me.

That'll bloody do then.

Great job LW! How you getting the tentacles right? Cos they look really good. Almost >.> <.< too good... Is it the same case as with Creed's hair?

And who's that running away from him? It looks familiar but...

Yeah the tendrils are a manual fit for every poss, alas - due to the fact they cant (really) be connected to the face.

As for the "run-away" girl? she looks familiar because the it wearing the same outfit as Masurigi mark I.

In 3DS Max you can weld verticies on a polymesh. Does Poser not have a similar function?

You can set a "parent" to an item (such as making Valik's chin the "parent" to the tendrils, but it doesnt seem to do squat-all. I imagine there is a way of doing it, I just havent found it yet.

Luckily I have the patience to do it manually.... so far.

Woo! Thats one big dude! I wonder if you can make a really giant guy in SW:TOR? The nose looks a bit funny, though as you said, you have a reason. But, yeah, nice work as always Lunar! Keep it up!

Cheers, H2 - yeah he is a bit big,

Has Ree been smuggling in some steroids for him?

This explains it somewhat

Good work as always

Cheers Artekus, I've been wanting to do that big fella for some time now

All I can say is....I'm glad he's on our side! 9ft 2ins! Thats even taller than Nex and Ne'tra! Cool, we need more muscle in the guild.

Aye, he is HUGE; thats kinda the point...he's a genetic abnormality whose been enhanced.

He's quite a bit behind both Net'ra and Nex on the dextrous side tho...

This may be off-topic, but where is Nex? We haven't seen him for a while (or at least I haven't)

On-topic: Yeah, I can imagine him to be one of those slow but brutal guys.
