    Hi,

    One question : How is the cyclop with human textures ?

    other question: is it possible to have a cute or at least hunky one-eyed guy with this new version (i have the genesis one)? because i love the idea of a "cyclops" as in a one-eyed male - but not necessary a monstrous one... my trials with the genesis version were kind of lukewarm, and when i look at this new version, he seems even more detailed in the montrous direction..

    As I am sure you can appreciate, with such radical deformations to the face, the ability to use alternate textures and to modify the morphs will be greatly limited. Both of which will give indication of where the second eye has been morphed out.

    OK, despite my best efforts to much everything up I have managed to merge the two Cyclops threads, so RawArt has only one to monitor. Apologies for any motion sickness caused.

    Thanx Richard :)

    I suspect that the actual idea of the Cyclops (which means 'wheel-eye') was a single eye that completely encircled his head and allowed him to see in all directions.  This was why Odysseus and friends had to sneak out of his cave under the sheep - he could see everywhere at once, and that was the only way to avoid his gaze.  Kind of hard to visualize that, though.

    Myths of cyclops are generally attributed to elephant skulls (that look like they have only one eye socket).

    And all of the Greek art of cyclops displayed them with a single eye in the middle of the forehead.

    I think what you're thinking of is Argus Panoptes, who had eyes all over his body.

    That is cool about the elephant skull...I did not know that.

    I can see that now.

    Here's my take...

    And dragon myths and other giants can be attributed to large crocodile skulls or bones from the period of large extinct mammals or even fragments of dinosaur bones & skulls.  Without science they, and we, are all just guessing in the dark.  And yet with so many people looking for Sasquatch, not one real bone of them has ever been found.  I guess they just live forever and hide real well.  Either that or they evaporate when they die. indecision

    I am excited to see a cyclops. Maybe Medusa is next? Or some Harpies? Or maybe Helen & the Trojan Horse?

  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,085

    I think the G3M krampus is a fairly good stand in for a satyr, so there's more of the Greek myth landscape for you...

    And, of course, centaurs.

    i can understand and i agree with the 1st sentence, it's pretty much what i thought from my experience with the gen1 version.
    but i'm sorry, i can't get your meaning of the 2nd sentence (language barrier? me just being dense?) can you reformulate the 2nd?

    oh and btw @RawArt, your cyclops is awesome as he is - no critic there! - what i meant was not "have" but "make" (myself), i just wanted a cute/hot 1-eyed guy ^^

    I managed to get plenty done with the old genesis versions... (actually just realized i don't have the genesis cyclops, just the triclops, and i can't BELIEVE that omission!!! must go get it)... I just retextextured around the eye and made a blending mask if i remember right ... this pic is genesis with a retextured triclops :) I love eye monsters :)

    Also, raw, because i'm very curious, you say the second eye is morphed out, so is cyclops a moph, not a geograft for the eye, the way triclops was done?

  • RawArtRawArt Posts: 6,065

    Yes, the lost eye is a morph, not a geograft this time. G8 no longer has holes behind the eyes, so that made it a bit easier to morph out, it still needed a bazillian JCM's to make the expressions work "decently"...(and I should note that I only made jcm's for the base expressions that come with G8M).

     

    Manekineco....what the second line means is that if you try to add different morphs to the character, or apply different textures you will get some evidence of the morphed out eye reappearing.

  • manekiNekomanekiNeko Posts: 1,438

    i see. the G1 geograft was indeed a very different approach - thank you for the info, @RawArt ^^

  • DisparateDreamerDisparateDreamer Posts: 2,520

    Thanks for the reply, RawArt. I can't even begin to imagine how much work it'd be to get all the expressions to work properly, my goodness!! and as a morph i can see how it may conflict in mixed shapes.

    Besides the elephant skull confusion (mistaking the nasal passage for an ocular socket), there was a particular type of heavy metal poisoning that resulted in severe birth defects, the infant having developed a single eye.  Accounts suggest this radical a deformity was always fatal, resulting in still births.  Combine the factors and its easy to understand why some ancient people believed a cyclops could exist.

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    Don't remember any mentioning of female cyclopses in the Greek Mythology I read... but of course in the light of modern days and political correctness it would be logical to have them... of course we would also need male harpies, female satyrs, a male medusa and male sirens, luring female sailors to put their ships on those rocks... devil

    You forgot the female minotaur cheeky

  • tj_1ca9500btj_1ca9500b Posts: 2,057

    There are examples of cyclops females in contemporary lore/fanfiction/fanart.

    Also, there's Leela... slap some purple Rochelle Ponytail hair on a suitably curved lady Cycolps and voila!

    Nah, political correctness messes up the mythology. 

    RawArt already gave us a lovely lady minotaur, though. Taurette

    It's been a few decades since I read it, but if my aging memory serves me correctly they poked his one eye (blinding him) and snuck out under the sheep because the blinded cyclops was feeling for anyone trying to sneak out of the cave with the sheep (the sailors hung from the sheep's belly).

    I'm all for mythological creatures of every/none/all genders! :) I love mystical creatures of all sorts.  Monsters especially though. :)  I have so many monsters from Rawart.... Not enough, obviously, never enough.
