My 3D sculpt of H.P. Lovecrafts Nightgaunt.
Scuplted in Adobe Medium and Zbrush based on original sketches by me.
"But Carter preferred to look at them than at his captors, which were indeed shocking and uncouth black things with smooth, oily, whale-like surfaces, unpleasant horns that curved inward toward each other, bat wings whose beating made no sound, ugly prehensile paws, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be. All they ever did was clutch and fly and tickle; that was the way of night-gaunts."
~ HPL , The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
This is a fairly complex print which is why I have included both unsupported and suported STL files. I have test printed all the supported STL files successfully on my elegoo Mars.
Extra care should be taken when removing supports as there are a lot of fine limbs and claws which can be easily snapped if supports are just pulled off without using snippers.
Timings listed are for all sections of the model combined there are 4 seperate STL's, the gravestone, the main Nightgaunt, the wings and the tail.

I do not know why this is happening, but the presupported gravestone is slicing weird. It slices with irregularly shaped holes all over. It also prints with extra "supports" that are irregularly shaped and do not appear in the slicer. At first I thought it was a rediculous number of dead pixels in my resin printer screen, but I have printed multiple other things without issue. I threw the gravestone into lycheeslicer again and sliced it in a different location on my build plate, and the strange holes appeared again, this time appearing in the layer-by-layer display as lycheeslicer was slicing the model.
