Nice theme choice. I have a couple of ideas, but they require sculpting and/or texture painting. And as my graphics tablet is still in a box on its way from China, I might have to skip this week.

Saw the theme right before I went on a hike and saw a rattlesnake… :snake:

The minute I saw this theme I’m thinking, ‘sea serpent’!

That makes me think of this render I made a couple years ago.

I had a similar thought :slight_smile: I think I’m gonna do something with the midgard serpent and ragnarök. That is if I have enough time this weekend :snake:

I think the the chain link texture, snake skin bump, is from textures.com.

Non-entry. Old 3d print and cnc pattern. Tastes like chicken. :smiley:

Here’s the ‘finished’ product, I didn’t have enough time this weekend. This was made in twenty minutes, it’s awful. :frowning_face:
(Don’t laugh) :rofl:


It’s not even attacking anything.

“Boss Battle”

Non-competing. Open. Snake and character were downloaded, then heavily modified.

This is the scene which I would have made (pure), if I had my graphics tablet and more time. So, just to get my weekly fix of the BA Weekend Challenge, I threw this together using some downloaded/existing models and some other lazy, quick hacks to fill the scene out.
Lots of things that I don’t like about it, but don’t have the time to work on it anymore, so I’ll throw it in as non-competing.

No entry for me this week because my laptop died and is currently getting repaired. (hopefully)

I’m sorry to hear that. I had problems with my laptop a few weeks ago. For days it froze as soon as something or someone touched it or bumped my desk.
It took me hours to figure this one out. In the end, I discovered that it was caused by oxidation on a single pin of the RAM slots…
Good luck!

Hopefully it’s repaired soon! The cooling system of my computer broke down the friday before new years, so a long weekend without computer… it was back to pen and paper drawings :joy:

Because mixing sci-fi with fantasy sounded like a good idea…

Attack of the Cyborg Serpent:

Wish I had more time to work on this one… :sob:

Great entries so far!

Pure - I made the Earth using photos from NASA a while ago, but the snake is the focus of the image and was made entirely this weekend.

I made the snake’s body from a spline, with geometry nodes to place scales along it in a diamond-alternating pattern. The scale was hand modelled with random flow for details and more hand editing to get a shape I liked. The head is a subdivision surface with random flow to make it look more consistent with the scales.
