Snake/ new tentacle

[jratt85]

Okay heres the same side view but darkened in paint so that you can actually easily see it. I'm just fully deleting the cross section view, it just didnt look right, I do still have it for reference for the head bump though. I also plan on spending some serious time working on trying to draw the two different scale textures I want to do, but my art skills are somewhat limited so I dont know how it'll turn out, it probably will just end up as a pile of crumpled up paper and a pencil stuck in the wall

Don't worry, you're on the right track!!

I think I might officially have a name for it if it was made                THE CHARMER               see? perfect huh, its one of those "DUH!!!!!" moments as you smack yourself in the forehead, just like having a basket as a base. Obviously still need to design it, the scale textures, and actually get it in 3D not too mention find the motor and whatnot (which isnt as easy as youd think) but I think Im getting pretty damn close. Especially with next to no input from the public. I dont know if that shows that people really arent into the idea, or if they just want to see where my thoughts and ramblings (not too mention crappy tech drawings) take it.


Oh and obviously this has been put up on EE and BD as well but with Zeta being so busy and BD having lost one of thier modelers, I doubt either one would want to, or have the ability to, do this project.I want everyone to know that this name is not property of any one of them at this time as this is still very much just an idea of mine as NO ONE from any of the company management of any of the three sites has approached me about actually fleshing out the toy, so as far as I am concerned, it is very much still my intellectual property and I own it till otherwise stated. I still have yet to hear from Zeebra on EE to see what he thinks but.. I will still continue what I can on it when my mind allows. Also I am going to start designing the tentacle this weekend, as well as the Dragon's Tounge, possibly as both a Dildo and mech toy seeings how only BD has a Dragons Tongue out, which does limit my design slightly to keep from copyright issues. Will keep that posted.

Ok I have an idea for the hentai one of the penis head coming out of something shaped like a probe vibe (which is the common hentia tentacle end, either that or just smooth) but I cant draw it. Even though I have a dick, I cant draw them, maybe I'm just too straight, who knows... I cant roll my Rs either. 

I have an idea for a non hentai tentacle which I will continue to work on but its somewhat complex and I dont know if I can do the shading to show the 3D of it, it didnt work when I tried to draw scales. If anyone knows somewhere where I can play with a 3D program online, please let me know.

The closest thing to an online program that I know of is google sketchup ( http://sketchup.google.com/ )

Sketch-up is a pretty good program, free too. I think you get 8 hours worth of time before they start asking you to buy/register/etc.
I personally found it kind of odd to work with, then again I didn't read how to use it or give it much of a chance. I prefer SolidWorks or Inventer, they're professional 3d programs and awfully expensive(unless you know some magic). Even AutoCad does a 3d modeling.

[jratt85]

yeah I tried that Sculptrix 6.0 thing and I couldnt begin to understand where to start. I honestly wish I could find auto cad mixed with a good drawing program or something thatd let me just put in dimensions and make it 3D. Problem is its almost at that point where  you need that program that you have the stylist thing and sketch it into the program or something, I dunno. I need someone that knows what they are doing and can understand what I mean.. honestly the main scale texture I want to go with is sort of (dork time) like the scales on the back of the pokemon Sandslash just more rounded up and down so they wouldnt hurt.. this might freak some ppl out but Im going to have to post some pics of snakes to get my other designs shown.

For AutoCad and Inventer, all you need is a mouse and keyboard. I think you can use a pen-input drawing tablet for SolidWorks (the guy on American Chopper has a really nice one).
Just have to know where to look for them. Hehe

just have to have the money to spend on them -.-

snake pics, these show you great views of the hoods and belly scales for refference. My art skills have seriously failed me trying to draw what I want to see but just like trying to play music off of sheet music, I understand it but just cant equate it, I can see all the shading and textures but I cant draw them.

[Allele]

that would be very interesting.

[jratt85]

that would be very interesting.

and Id want the belly scales to be shaped like that but have a lip on them so you really felt them and then Id want the sandslash like scales on the rest of the body with only a slight gator skin like texture on the head (like what they put on black 3 ring binders and guitar cases)

[jsealing]

Those pics with your idea, looks AWESOME!

[jratt85]

As for my dragon's tongue idea, the way I see it, a dragon's tongue would probably be only slightly textured on the top side where it was exposed to the heat of the fire it breathed, itd probably be pretty smooth and only have little bumps on it, probably like little boils for lack of a better word. Id think a dragon's tongue would have its taste buds on the underside with the top side protecting all the delicate bits of the tongue the seal off up against its jaw. I could see a really bumpy yet smooth top side with a groove down the middle and then a texture much like a cat's tongue on the underside, creating the most amount of surface area possible for the taste buds. Anyways thats my idea, Id say you could easily make multiple sizes of it and I see a very tapered V shape both long ways and for the vertical cross section.



Ok Instead of making another post beyond this, I will just say it here. I think Im done trying to design these. Obviously my art skills suck, Ive tried a few different free trials of 3d programs online and cant figure out how to make what I want so Ive hit a brick wall. Ideas arent worth shit it you cant bring them out of your head and make them real, just like all the ideas for cars I have that I dont have the tools and money to make them. Ive really lost all hope in my designs, granted a few people liked the idea but beyond that, obviously its too much hassle for anyone to think about trying to make them, even if you got rid of the complexity of being powered and moving. So I guess thats it.
