Alterbean7's Projects; Dumbo Octopus released!

Hey everyone! After numerous attempts at learning how to design, I've figured out how to code with APE2 and I'm starting to get the hang of designing! I can't model, but I think I'm pretty good at skinning.

Without further ado, I present my first creation that I plan on releasing soon... :D

Dumbo Octopus (Grimpoteuthis sp.)

It's a basic recolor but I did make some edits to the texture.

I am planning on releasing it very soon but I am currently testing it ingame for bugs!

Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome, as designing is very new to me and I'm excited to learn and improve. :)

It's very cute, but I noticed that the tentacles are a bit too long for it.
And the color might be a bit off. In the image I found, it's more of a pink and white.
Other than that, good job!

Thanks for the feedback! I may use that color scheme as a variant, because the images I used as reference had an orange-yellowy skin, but I did also find some pictures with the pink and white pigment. Also, sadly I can't really fix the tentacles since I have no meshing skills xD

It looks really high poly... Do you know the vertex count?

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the feedback. :)

As for the vertex count, I'm not exactly sure how to find that in NifSkope, but I'll try to figure it out.

Anyway, here is my next project!

I'm very excited and proud of this project, because it's my first skin made from scratch! :D

Hope you guys like it! Suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome.

Do you plan to have a variant with a patterned back as a lot of the pictures I found hada white stripe almost down the middle of the spider.

I love these tarantulas. They are definitely one of my favorites. Good job so far in making it.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the feedback!

@Paleodude - I found some pictures and decided to make a variant with white striping and a deeper blue coloration. For some reason it won't appear in game but I'll try to get a picture as soon as possible.

Here's a picture of a brownish variant for the tarantula:

As soon as I fix minor bugs and get the third variant to work ingame I will release it!
