Gorgeous. There is so much to take in, and it all looks great. The human male's face is fantastic. :)

Pretty wild looking! He has purple lips? That's otherworldly. The sight on the spear has to go,though! LOL The alien and girl are posed wonderfully! The guy's expression is priceless. Great work!

Yeah, great scene! I really like the guy. Major Cache which is familiar but the guy inside very unique. Good to see someone who doesn't look like the generic M3. Great tentative expression.

hate to feel stoopid, but I can't find 'Yrig', 'GT Guyver' anywhere in freebies, or even Google. It does look like a promising figure. Do you have a link?

Sorry about that! I misspelled the critter's name-its Yyrig! Here's the link: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/index.php?user_id=324325

Interesting. It's sorta reminiscent of the water tentacle scene from The Abyss. And of course your Yyrig retexture shines.
