This one was done in my free time, just having fun!

On the first image (left side) is the monster in keyshot without posing, no hair and no saliva. Right one shows saliva hair and a quick pose.
Finally, on the second image is the final monster.

Cheers!

Thanks Bill! I think Miley beats any tongue out there(...that crazy girl) heheheh.

Some of the inspiration on the tongue came from this, really beautiful, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxQR0zyldYc&feature=kp

Here a wip on a another creature, working out the eye shader and lighting, any recommendations?

The lighting seems good to me already, but the eye shader is more tricky...

I look at other peoples creatures somewhat biologically and try to figure the environment that has been present to make their creatures evolve that way. So in your case I see

• Large nose - Poor sense of smell so his nasal passages became larger, or he has a keen sense of smell for a specific food type
• Eyes deeply set back, wide apart and with loose skin surrounding them. So he needs to focus long distance or, his food type is dangerous to his eyes and they need to be protected by those folds of skin as he eats
• That sharp ridge in the skull, deflector type of thing forcing rain away from his delicate eyes, or is it streamlining thing, or possibly he needs to use that head to force his way into his food stuff

When i make up my mind more, then maybe i can contribute more

A bit too symmetrical perhaps, but I like how you've done the lighting, picking up the edges of the facial features nicely.

Thanks for the input Martin, I really like the idea of the nasal ridge used as weapon /water delfector!

Thanks Josh, am still playing with lights and composition, ill post another wip with a different idea.
