That's awesome. Is it entirely GS or are they based off an original plastic head?

I like but not as much as I liked the concept drawing. These seem a bit more bulky than the original design but obviously, this is as skinny as the pincers will get.

Don't get me wrong, these look awsome.

Mandeville, Louisiana

One of the tentacles seems to be a flat stub on top of a mess of tendrils, and the left pincer seems much smaller than the right. Otherwise, I like the concept and the sculpt shows a great deal of control and creativity. I like it.

PS: Okay, I see it now, those aren't tentacles but a mass of "fingers". The stub tentacle makes sense if it is simply another claw feeler without the claw attached. Disregard that concern. It could just use some size consistency on the fangs and it's perfect.

Some sized head shots.
THis head due to the more bulky design and pincers is a bit fatter and bigger than normal ones...

I think the front of the head looks good. The way it bulges out at the back, both sideways and upwards, makes the thing look huge though. I reckon if you slimmed down everything past the eyes, it'd be a better fit.

Very slick. How many more to go, lol?

Or are you going to get them cast or something?

Are the round bits on the head insect eyes?

It might be a cool variant.

Cool idea and probably a original painting option Kilkrazy, I was thinking larvae skin.. like some pulsating sacs.
Imagined a abdomen of a hivequeen pulsating before laying eggs... matchs a bit of my idea of pulsating brain and respiratory sacs. I intend to use these on a big brood painted yellow/ beige colored.

Now I see it on a body, the head is indeed bulkier than I'd expected. But I like it, it's not too GWish but still suits the body perfectly, which is both good aestheticly (so long as the whole unit has similar heads) and helps avoid IP legal problems
