Finally, I finished the model on Blender for Electric Eel Monster Cheligon (Denki-Unagi Kaijuu Kerigon), the first adversary for the titular kaiju of my original project, Rekira the Super-Monster! I'm very satisfied with how it turned out.
For good measure, let's revisit the original version, created on 3DSMax for my Rekira short in 2008...
Originally called "Chelios" (based on "chéli" = Greek for "eel"), this monster was actually created from just copying the 2008 Rekira's model and modifying it, only it was rushed. It still did the job quite well!
Here's the new version. Quite a difference, isn't it?

Modeled on Blender (with the texture made on FireAlpaca), with this promotional image assembled on FireAlpaca, I crossed an electric eel with a salamander, basically. The new name, Cheligon, is a combination of "chéli"/"eel" + "dragon." The result is much more satisfying, with a sleek, slimy-looking texture, and a color pattern that is reminiscent of 1960s/1970s kaiju of the same type. This is very true to the design I've been working with for the last decade! Wait'll you see it in action with different gimmicks...
