Great desing!
However, I wouldn't give a child a toy like that, it even scares me

I still want to see this made as a toy with all the textures on it. IT WOULD BE EPIC AND RAD.

this si freeking awesome. shape, concept, deatail,(even texture,) all awesome. i especially like the concept. i doupt any toy would end up a high enough quality for it, but if done corectly it could end up pretty cool.
for some weird reason(probabaly reataining to my childhood) i'd like to see it as a beanie-baby or something. something soft, flexable and highquality.
the beanie-baby would have to end up some sort of 'chibi' verzion, but it would still look really cool.

btw- i'm not trying to force a reasponce to my post, but the writing...
the stuff on it's shell is kanji, but vertical letters on the rest of the page, what is that? it looks really cool and i'd liek to know.

Woa...
Disturbing and awesome!
Looks like a real old Asian painting. (I wanted to say Japanese but I'm not an expert so it could be either Chinese or sth. ^^' )
What kind of writing is you used? o.O
I managed to recognize some os the symbols on the shell (fish, rain, river) but the "side-notes" totally confused me. Doesn'T reminds me any of the writing systems I've seen so far. o.O

hahaha, the writing is actually just symbols i made up, i didnt want it to be a real form of writing, because i wanted it to look "alien" to anyone who viewed it im glad you recognized the symbols on his shell though! As for style, its mostly based off of japanese culture.

thank you so much for your comment

WOW cool - then you made very good job on it! :3
Haha so it IS mainly Japanese, I see. ^^

No problem - it made me talk (this mean picture).

So cool! have you seen Patchtogether.com? You can submit toy designs and they create them. Then fans of the toy can buy it and I think you might get some kind of kick back. It would be neat to see this made.

You know... you should totally put that up for voting on Patch together.. Then it could be a real kick ass toy I would vote for it.

wOOOOAAAZZZ

I LOVE IT!! DD LOVE THE DESIGN... really incredible idea O:

xdragonflyx [2009-10-17 22:48:15 +0000 UTC]

Quite the design! I loved those stylized monster heads from your last piece, so I think this guy's tail is my favorite part. It's cute but a bit unnerving at the same time.

Now does the writing actually say anything?

kilacqua In reply to Andoledius [2009-10-18 15:35:20 +0000 UTC]

actually i really like it. sort of retro godzilla design to me.

only four points of articulation is kinda disappointing tho. if i were a kid with a godzilla toy, id want it to be as action pose-able as possible.

all in all, i really like this style that you've been working in. and maybe you dont believe me, but i would like to see where you go with it.... but if you want me to tell you it sucks... id be more than happy to be as nitpicky as possible.

Andoledius In reply to kilacqua [2009-10-18 15:41:08 +0000 UTC]

i agree with the articulation points, i was going to have the two heads move as well, but for the audience i'm gearing towards (teen-20's) i figure the less articulation points the better. I cant imagine this toy being for a younger audience, since the heads already creep me out.

I'm really glad you enjoy it, and i do honestly hope i can continue using it in my career

And no nitpicking, i still have a critique to look forward to, you know?

this is gorgeous! the style you drew it in makes me think it could almost be from okami o:

Andoledius In reply to autumnalone [2009-10-17 22:08:01 +0000 UTC]

My style is referenced to Okami a lot, i should really get that game one day and play through it

I've seen screencaps though and it looks like a beautiful game, so thank you for the compliment

Oh, it's such a fun game! I'm not much of a gamer, but Okami had me hooked from start to finish. And it's so stunningly gorgeous.

Just thinking about it makes me want to play it again.
