Inspiration for my fellow Gorgonares! [IMG HVY]

Postby DeChevalier » Tue Feb 26, 2013 5:08 pm

So, September seems sooo far away... I'm occupying my time by scouring the internet for colorful and interesting scale patterns...

Then I thought, "Hmm, why not share?"... so here's alittle inspiration for what your Khthones could look like... I tend to favor Vipers, but feel free to add whatever scaly goodness you like...

... and don't forget to give your 2 cents.

Cool snakes, and indeed suited to the Gorgonares. :)
I've also been looking at snakes for the scales on my Dyndraigs. :lol:

I picked this one for the bright oranges, with reds and purples to go with it. :) Gives a nice "hot" impression. :mrgreen:

What the hell is that last one? It looks like it was caught in an explosion in a glow stick factory.

I'm guessing Mierce wouldn't want a similar thread for Melusines :lol:

That last one is an African Red Phase Bush Viper, according to TinEye and Google. They're pretty rare.
The saturation on the colours in the picture is a good deal higher than in real life though, it's not as bright normally.
Someone touched up this photo to make it pop, the real version is still a gorgeous red and orange though. ;)
Here's a link to the non-napalm lit version: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=9761569 :P

Just found the stock photo looking for cool snakes. :mrgreen:

And a Melusines reference picture thread is most certainly off-limits. :lol:

Shame that the snake isn't actually those colours, I think it'd be the ultimate pet for Cybergoths everywhere. I think yellow/black is how I'm painting my mates Gorgonares if he can't get over his ophidiophobia to paint them himself.

Yes, I can see people going buts with colour schemes on the Gorgonars - mother nature has so much inspiration to choose from.

Vilthiss and co are based on a viper in the concept.

@grefven - That is a gorgeous constrictor!

@Tim - ... and that's why I started looking at the various bush vipers... great coloration while sticking with the form of the sculpts...

That does look pretty cool. Would love to see more angles.
