Pumpking (Terraria) [Ragdoll]
"BOO!"
Pumpking, the final challenge of the Pumpkin Moon. A twisted blade-wielding pumpkin-helmeted spectre that prowls the night skies during Halloween. His carved visage changes expressions throughout the fight, and with each change he switches up his patterns to try and trip up unwary foes. It is unknown what, if anything, he is king of.
Suprise! I made something new for once. Having been on a five month hiatus, I’ve been quite disappointed with all the missed opportunities. Not only did a lot of my own stuff fall to the wayside, but so did a lot of collaborative projects I had with others. If you’re out there, and see this, know that I didn’t mean to let anyone down. It’s been quite a painful journey for me.
If you’re wondering where I went? Let’s just say I had something that modern medicine had a hard time with. I’ve been tested, scanned, and scoped. Name a body part, and I’ve probably had pain in it. I don’t seem to be out of the woods yet, but it looks like the worst is over. I’m hoping to get back into workshopping, though I’ll be doing it slowly.
Enough about that though, you’re here to see Pumpking! The last thing I wanted to miss was Halloween, so I buckled down and slammed this guy out as fast as I was able. I originally wanted to do a full set for Halloween, but those plans were laid long before I got sick. Operating with less than a week, I had to settle with Pumpking. While it’s not my best work, it’s certainly a charming model. Expect some jankiness, this is not heavily tested. Be sure to report anything so I can get to fixing it pronto.
-Because it would be physically impossible for me to wire a "three-headed pumpking", Pumpking is split into 3 models, each with a different head(Sinister, Mad, and Terror).
-They are named according to their rough expression. Sinister has the jagged grin and evil eyes. Mad has the disgruntled look with 6 teeth. Terror has the wide open mouth and fangs.
-There are head-only versions of each type, and small versions for set dressing. The large ones have functional mouths. The small ones are baked props with no movement.
-Each head has two skins: Off and On. Defaults to off. You can use a Bodygroup tool to switch the skins(I use "Easy Bodygroup Tool" to test these).
-The energy blades thrown by Mad are included. Due to their immense weight, you can spin them and they’ll skip across the ground, killing anything they touch.
-Pumpking, for the most part, uses Skeletron’s rig. For some reason he’s a bit janky to pose, and I’m not sure if this is due to his cloak or the fact his arms don’t have clear elbows.
-His cloak has jiggle bones, but as usual, they do not animate due to the fact that he is a ragdoll.
-His scale is incorrect, as he was made using the wrong boss size. He’s roughly twice the size he should be.
The original concept and design of the "Pumpking" is the intellectual property of "Re-Logic".
