I had a bunch of hippo bodies left over from another project, so they became this project

Personal logo chicklewis Supporting Member of TMP02 Jan 2021 1:27 p.m. PST

Excellently disgusting.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP02 Jan 2021 1:33 p.m. PST

Also very inventive!

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP02 Jan 2021 2:07 p.m. PST

I can't improve on what chicklewis said here.

von Schwartz ver 202 Jan 2021 2:57 p.m. PST

That why THIS is called, "Utter Drivel"

Bashytubits02 Jan 2021 6:34 p.m. PST

I find you can never have enough hippos, well done.

Stryderg02 Jan 2021 7:40 p.m. PST

Nicely done. I was half expecting something more like a Hippothulu (tentacles where the heads used to be).

John the OFM02 Jan 2021 9:15 p.m. PST

It takes a very special mind to do …. err…. that.

Dn Jackson Supporting Member of TMP02 Jan 2021 9:33 p.m. PST

I was expecting hippotaurs.

Nice use of leftovers.

Insomniac03 Jan 2021 3:26 a.m. PST

I was expecting Zoats.

Interesting idea but the joins between the bodies could have been better blended…

I was half expecting something more like a Hippothulu

I've done a few more Lovecraft things with headless bodies:

inlgames.com/dinospawn.htm

Interesting idea but the joins between the bodies could have been better blended…

I put clay over the top, both to smoothe the koins and to get an effect like my sharknocerous

inlgames.com/sharknoc.htm

but, yes, a couple of the side bits also need a little smoothing.

huh?

ordinarybass03 Jan 2021 4:49 p.m. PST

Really like the Animal men you've made earlier. I'm a big fan of the "elephantmen" comics.

von Schwartz ver 204 Jan 2021 2:09 p.m. PST

I was gonna ask what the "other" project was but I'm too scared!!!

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP04 Jan 2021 2:43 p.m. PST

This one:

Specifically, this bit:

OK, I'm just gonna go over here and scratch my eyes out, don't mind the screaming.

jdagee15 Jan 2021 12:11 p.m. PST

Could make a platoon of Judoon on the moon…

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP17 Jan 2021 4:27 a.m. PST

I had scifi rhinomen before the Jodoon. I have some Judoon now in with my Dr. Who minis.

Bashytubits20 Jan 2021 11:35 a.m. PST

You know, if you glued a dolphin to one of those hippo torsos you could have a new title, re-porpoise-ing hippo bodies. wink

von Schwartz ver 220 Jan 2021 5:46 p.m. PST

Bashy…get your coat!

von Schwartz ver 220 Jan 2021 5:46 p.m. PST

And don't forget yer CAT!!

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP22 Jan 2021 1:48 p.m. PST

If he has his cat, it has its coat. I wonder if that is rephrasable …

von Schwartz ver 222 Jan 2021 5:15 p.m. PST

Well maybe his cat is one of those hairless varieties.

Maybe bashy is one of the hairless varieties too

Old Wolfman26 Jan 2021 11:23 a.m. PST

Couldn't imagine Fiona in there. ;^)

Bashytubits26 Jan 2021 11:45 a.m. PST

Now there's an image, princess fiona's torso attached to a hippo body, a Fionataur.

von Schwartz ver 226 Jan 2021 4:46 p.m. PST

Do I sense bashy setting up a image there? A little photo shopping and voila!!!

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP29 Jan 2021 3:14 a.m. PST

Does re-porpoise-ing shark bodies count?

Sharks with lasers

Lead to another kind of sharks with lasers

And I do have a few of these

That I would like to recapitate into space armour. Still looking for orca heads, too.

Bashytubits29 Jan 2021 12:41 p.m. PST

I would call them laser guided sharks.
