Original sculpt on polymer clay, based in one of the Quake monsters.
"Shuffling towards him in the darkness was the gigantic, blasphemous form of a thing not wholly ape and not wholly insect. Its hide hung loosely upon its frame, and its rugose, dead-eyed rudiment of a head swayed drunkenly from side to side. Its forepaws were extended, with talons spread wide, and its whole body was taut with murderous malignity despite its utter lack of facial description"
-H. P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald

Soo COOL !
Awesome sculpt! GREAT work!
That looks amazing, i remember the time i used to be afraid of that thing, now i want to fight my fears and kill every last one of these things!
"Bring it on!"
"Bring it on!"
im gonna send you a blank check, write whatever number pleases you...
Great!
I am weird if I find this cute?
yep
This thing is probably the reason I had my parents play doom instead of Quake! That and the flying human torsos!
Terrifying. I love it! It looks perfect for a Quake 1 remake. 
I'm hard to scare but... This thing is genuinely creepy to me. I like it.
Wow, now that's some serious talent... I'm gonna look for more like this!
I have nightmares about this monster after playing Quake's Nightmare difficulty.
Wow, man, I read from one of the previous comments that this was your first sculpt.
Sheesh, way better than my first clay sculpture (even though this is polymer) XD
Anyway; amazing work. The roughness you've applied to the skin and muscle is utter perfection, and the paint job is also very convincing and realistic. I also like how you created a dramatic effect with the lighting and composition; makes him look even more terrifying; just like in the original game. XD
That quote you found fits him perfectly. XD

Whoa. That's one freaky monster!
Epic!
This is so cool! It looks amazing. I love the paint and everything. Great detail.
Spectacular rendition of the fearsome Shambler, much better than the one I did years ago. I particularly like how you recessed the mouth/teeth.
epic! best monster art ever!
Epic! I like the teeth.
I'd hate to run into this thing...great stuff!
incredible work, first time i played quake as a kid(when it first came out) these guys scared the bejesus out of me lol. awesome sculpt cant believe its your first one, keep it up!
This really woke me up when I saw it. The muscles are well constructed and the shadows really bring it to life. This guy is amazing, keep up the good work!
