First look at Umberlee!

Elven Minotaur is Finished!

Design Options for Umberlee
The search results for Umberlee are all over the place. It is unclear whether she has legs, tentacles, or a tail.In summary she is a chaotic evil goddess of the sea. She is powerful, and oftentimes cruel. Similar to the ocean, she is apathetic at best.So which piece of concept art do you want my final design to resembl...
Thank you!
Green bar: pledge increaseRed bar: deleted pledgesBlue bar: amount pledged at the end of the monthIn February I decided to release my models for free and consequently pissed off a fair amount of people.

Sky Whale : Styling Options
There is a lot of excellent art out there for sky whales. I'm curious what sort of styling all of you like most?
