Major Project - Scale

According to my measures. The tower consists of 28 people. If we take average human being size about 175cm then the size of the tower is 49meters. And the one detail of the tentacle has half-human size.

I want to set up final scale before I go and start Zbrush fun.

Major Project - Test

The initial idea was to use scale for the tentacle shape. However, I tried to use spinal vertebra and it gave me a satisfied result. I'm not sure about scale. They are meant to be big - because I need big ground holes. But large scale doesn't look right, especially on the structure behind.

Thinking - doing.

---------------------------------
Solved.
Made it smaller. Will use instancer to make piles of skulls and bones near the main tentacle to show scale.

Major Project -

I divided tower into section. They make tower more firm and make it look more like a building. But I don't like how it looks. Working on it.

Added Entrance + Base

Without.

Keep doing basemesh

Major Project - Ribs

Trying to find a best look for the side view. Solid ribs coming from the vertebra or make separate parts and make them stick out.

I prefer more solid ribs. They give completeness to the structure. This look is more architectural. And the connection logic of the sticky-out structures isn't clear.

Major Project - Progress

Had problem with health. But don't worry working hard, optimistic and definitely will make on time. 

Here is progress (finishing base mesh). At least I'm happy that everything works.

I decided to find design that satisfies me and tutors. This time I'm going to listen.

Major Project - Detail research

This research will help me to add more sci-fi, futuristic look to my tower.

Major Project - More Thoughts #2

I didn't want to redraw again everything, because at this stage it is really pointless. I used sketches to communicate idea ( first of all to myself) how it may look. Anyway, I think I need to start thinking details, composition. In other words move forward.

To sum up:
I will try to use "rib-cage" entrance.
I don't want to use dome-like structure behind the tower, because it created the feeling of gluttony - the tower becomes more maggot like. I want to make something skinny, vulnerable, but still powerful and hungry.
The tower has ribs on the side, where "tubes" will be connected. (need to figure out this moment)
