[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

The Akral, savage swarm creatures whose "social structure" is analogous to ants... Monstrous, genocidal, twenty foot, killer, mutant, Spleen Ants with fangs that can shred iron...

As with Ants, there is considerable structural diversity between the different types in the Hive. Above are Soldiers, there are also Drones and the more than slightly colossal (and exceedingly ugly) egg-laying Queen Progenitor. By chance, I discovered a screenshot showing the forty foot high egg-layer was already on my Doctor Who thread amongst assorted piles of other things, so I've reused it below. All the types, including those not shown, will be in the Hak.

I would say the Akral, a savage hive species, were the equivalent of the Alien in Demoness Tales, but since the Aliens ARE in Demoness Tales I'll just... not bother.

 

With any luck, the next post should be to point at the Vault and shriek "Ooh, look, Spleens!"

[The Mad Poet]

What, no daily spleens? You've spoiled me PHoD!

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

Alright, alright, here's another Spleen already...

Absolutely nothing to do with the cyborg kaiju of the same name that Gojira knocked the stuffing out of, more than once, this murky behemoth is called Gigan simply because whilst I was hitting it with a brick in gmax I named the scene "Gigan" with careless abandon just because it was BIG. And so the model name stayed Gigan...

There are almost no Dragons in the worlds of Demoness Tales and this lumbering juggernaut was primarily used as a Jida'zakuna, an Eater of Spirit Armies, one of a number of freak aberrations that arose following the Time of Sundering which is all far too complicated to explain here. And anyway, it's irrelevant because obviously all these Spleens are for you to use for your own purposes with your own silly names appended to them. I mean, you can make them all noble and heroic if you want. They don't LOOK noble and heroic, of course, and you won't be fooling anyone that they're not Spleens biding their time before killing everyone into tiny pieces, but you can pretend...

Naturally, further rubbish has impinged upon my life in the continuing conspiracy of the entire universe to delay the purveyance of Hideous Spleens... but they'll fail, they'll fail!

I shall soon dispense Spleens! Very soon! Honestly! Really!

[LastBard]

I think Gigan is the best bloody dragon's shape I ever seen.

 

I shall soon dispense Spleens! Very soon! Honestly! Really!

 

Oh, yes!

[The Mad Poet]

Ahh... now that's better.

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

And the LAST (for the time being anyway) Daily Spleen...

 

Haiju'Ran, Lord of Chaos, Harbinger of the Reign of Beasts...

A freakish Hybrid and an Obvious Twisted Sinister Fiend, Haiju'Ran arose from the shattering of the Crystals of Harmony which were very complicated and more than ordinarily unlikely and all that really matters is that a chaos of energies broke loose and manifested as a sort of indestructible mutant beast in weirdo samurai gear who keeps trying to destroy any and all things that are stable or in balance.

(Yes, the black and red banner IS part of the Spleen - the other one isn't.)

 

Just dealing with some rubbish here at the moment - then Spleens will be invading...

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

Apologies - Serious piles of rubbish have afflicted us and Fifi and I haven't been home for a few days and we're still running round in circles like a pair of circularly running things...

I did dig up a few more old Spleens and add them to the pile so there are 52 of them now.

Such as these Ghurra War Mounts, in the colours of the Kuridian Hegemony (who are all evil and thus count as Spleens), which I vaguely seem to recall I showed a couple of years ago in the Dark Sun CCC whilst discussing putting banners and rider on a Mekillot. (There's also a wild version of the Ghurra - a type of noxiously aggressive, armoured giant ground sloth - without rider and banners.

Sorry for noxious delays. No time now, but I'll be back here tomorrow to present you all with a Big Box of Spleens.

[rjshae]

I was wondering have you ever made a Squig? It seems like that would be an archetypal Spleen.

 

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

The Big Box of Spleens, as promised...

Finally stopped the Spleen Creatures from climbing back out and actually got the Big Box closed - with a little help from a friend...

Yes, finally, the Spleens are unleashed... Get your Big Box here...

Yeeeeeee! I'm so happy! Thanks, it's an amazing work!

[The Mad Poet]

Suddenly the daemons in Avernostra just got a whole lot more interesting....

 

Thanks a bunch!

Bah! Double post!

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

rjshae - Squig? No idea what one is, but I can see one or two obvious animation difficulties in that image for one of my severely limited talents in that area. It looks about the size of a mouse, but I'll assume it's bigger. Might have a go at something of the sort some time... whenever "some time" may be...

 

Getting ever more entangled in assorted non-NWN projects at the moment. But still heaving bricks at KotOR geometry every so often. Not going fast (probably be faster if I worked on it more often), but I'm learning a lot of interesting new things about Tileset creation...

Mostly working on the Tombs of Korriban at the moment. Should be quite a useful catacombs kind've set and looks good in a wide variety of textures... but it smells of goats unpleasantly for reasons more or less unfathomable. Have had to fumigate gmax.

More or less default textures...

[Empyre65]

For some reason, that picture reminds me of Morrowind.

[Mecheon]

Squigs are big ol' things from the Warhammer 40k universe that serve as the ork's uh, lot of things

 

Big ol' bitey maws on legs

TNO Circus Tents which you can put anywhere... or, in this instance, nowhere...

And don't bother asking me what the tent pegs are stuck into in the void of space, 'cause I DON'T KNOW!

The Small Tents are apparently already available but not the larger ones, presumably because they need multiple parts cut out from the Tileset along the dotted lines and then stapled back together with a big brick... They're quite versatile, these bricks, you understand.

Anyway, I'm doing these at the request of The Mad Poet for Avernostra's Circus because, in my limitless generosity I can see lots of uses for them for myself... Damn. I mean 'cause I'm innately generous and nothing else at all.

Medium Tents are all now done and Big Tents are underway. When I've finished sewing all this somewhat pungent old canvas together, I'll be throwing it all at The Mad Poet who will be responsible for putting it on the Vault in due course where you can all jump up and down on them.

(PS:- I'm beginning to suspect that these tents lure immediate infestations of Spleen Jesters. Might require a spot of drastic eradication).

[The Mad Poet]

I'm tent-atively waiting.

 

HA!

Don't get in a flap about it.

Enough with the tent jokes, guys. It's over the (big) top... Eurrgh! Now you've got me doing it.

Big Tents now finished as well.

Definitely proved by not very scientific means that these Tents DO attract Spleen Jesters, no matter where you put them. Like moths to light bulbs. Anyway, Lucirath has now firmly carried out the necessary drastic eradication and destroyed the Spleen Jester infestation.

More or less guaranteeably Spleen Jester free Tents are now being emailed to The Mad Poet who will throw them all in a dank puddle somewhere at some point where you can all get hold of them and discover how moth-eaten and pungent they are.

I accept no responsibility for moths.

But I am responsible for replacing the gaping, cavernous, black abysses of the tent doorways with a sort of grotty cloth, 'cause the vast black openings just struck me as being a bit rubbish. Looks more feasible (to me) as a sort of inner curtain thing. Probably with moths.

Yes, these will all be yours - (future tents).

Nnerrgh. I did it again.

[The Mad Poet]

I am 100 per-tent sure I'll use them. Thanks for tenting them to me.

 

(I make no apologies for puns!)

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

You should. They're becoming in-tents-ly silly now.

[kalbaern]

Great stuff. When released, I'll see they are used in my own module to great ex-tent.

[PLUSH HYENA of DOOM]

At-tent-ion! Listen at-tent-ively...

Given it's title, the in-tent of this thread was pa-tent-ly about rubbish the Shabby Hyena Weirdo is making (TENTacled Spleen Monsters and such) and not for the insis-tent purveyance of tent jokes.

Naughty. Bad. Stop it, or you shall be given lines and sent to de-tent-ion.

From now on, all mention of tents is to be nonexis-tent... I know there are malcon-tents out there with la-tent tent jokes and I don't want anyone claiming they inadver-tent-ly mentioned tents. I don't mean to seem insis-tent, or even sen-tent-ious, on this point, but the tent jokes could po-tent-ially obscure the con-tent of the thread.

I hope this doesn't cause any con-tent-ion or discon-tent, but that is my decision and I am omnipo-tent... or, more likely, just pre-tent-ious. 

You won't catch ME making daft tent jokes...

Damn.

[The Mad Poet]

Don't worry, PHoD, I was being at-tent-tive. I'll go back to watching strange daytime soap operas now... like Tent of our Lives, or perhaps I'll just load up netflix and watch reruns of Married... with Tents. You know, whichever.

[Tarot Redhand]

Just a thought but... If you were to make a walking, fighting tent model what would you call it? I mean Ent has already been used.
