Hi, guys. I picked this topic because I thought it would be a fun way to exhibit whatever freaky/weird models you want to make. I just did some research on historical freak shows, and it’s a bit dark. So if that’s not your cup of tea, I hope you can still find something you like to make. And if you’re into the macabre bits of history, then more power to ya :sweat_smile:. Let’s get freaky! :japanese_ogre:

Hello Everyone! I opened up this challenging section for myself today and am committed to participating as often as possible.
As you can see it is my variation of a “Freak show”. It’s Freak human.

P.s You can watch my other blender works on my Instagram profile

This one, makes me smile!
And to be honest, I like the first one too!
As we can see it’s a person, an unhealthy body weight, shaped like a box of food …
The pose is good at the start already.

Unfortunately I may have to leave it here as I am just about out of time and energy for the week. It joins the ranks of the many projects I will finish another day.

Reminds me of the silent hill 3 enemy that was a massive fat thing. Cool stuff.

Great idea though. I just saw the movie The Whale. Reminds me of that guy. You could have one of those metal walkers standing close by too

@Gordon That’s a good idea! Thank you. I’m looking to clutter up the room a bit but I don’t have time.

@JyounzuSan haha he does kind of look like that! Just a big gross blob.

@Willrun Nice! That’s a good character to use again later too.

That’s part of the weekly problem / learning curve.
Plan the amount of time needed for the model.
