    Cool thread! I'm an animator, can I show some of my monster stuff here? Sorry that I can't embed Vimeo links here, but please check out the links below.

    Master - http://vimeo.com/64037229 I first drew this monster character when I was about 13 or so.

    Bat Gladiators - http://vimeo.com/61153806 Cold blooded killers!

    Skeleton Killer - https://vimeo.com/61006984 Flesh and bone bound by magic.

    I'd love to hear what SBers think of my work.

    You can also check out my Tumblr, which has an Animation Demo Reel posted on it - http://grahamschneider.tumblr.com/

    EDIT: If original monster drawings/designs aren't encouraged in this thread please let me know and I'll take this post down.

    Ghost train gray, those are excellent. Thank you for posting, I liked bat gladiators the best. Also, you're in the right spot- original creations are cool.

    I did this guy for a gig poster, thinking of trying to make it a toy...

    It would be fun if you could make the necks some sort of separate but connected piece so they could be bendy posable.

    If you make each segment a different piece, and have it sculpted on an angle, you could do this. It wouldn't be 'bendy' in the traditional sense, but it would allow full rotation and almost limitless posing possibilities. It would be costly though, unless you didn't taper them, and using the same piece repeatedly (i.e. stacked up one after the other). Sorry if I am not describing this well. Let me see if I can find a pic of what I mean.

    This isn't really a great example, but I think you get what I mean. Anyways, if you make the segments shorter, and think about having them as wide cylindrical connections with one angled end (above), I think you get the idea. With room for flanges at either end to pop each vinyl piece into the next, they could then rotate around at each individual joint. You can also do something like with the Manda figure, where the sections are fewer and larger (you could sculpt more than one segment per piece), but have their own curves. Of course, this sacrifices some of the great design of the neck segments.

    Ooooh the Manda figure idea is a good one, that could be just enough posability to make it interesting. I'm gonna look into that.

    I was at work today and saw one of those ten story construction trash chutes, basically the same as my neck design, inverted. My concern would be keeping enough friction for the neck/head weight to stay extended.

    I like your Manda idea, I think a two or maybe three segmented neck would solve the problem.
