    Thats as far as the 2D concepting stuff will go tongue.gif

    basically
    - big upper body, small lower body.
    - big fore-arms, thin upper arms.
    - capes and other decoration earned from battles.
    - i'll probably implement a shield on one of the arms and implement or hold a weapon on the other.

    we definitely need more robot generals on our team. i mean really, can you ever have enough robots? (THE ANSWER IS NO). i think working up the forearms would be good to move this guy away from the inevitable comparisons to a WH40k space marine dreadnaught, but otherwise i really think you've got a good basis to start with. love the cape. oh, and some sort of interesting head or face would give him a stronger visual focal point. let's see it happen! i'm a little sore at you for not finishing up that model based off the Burham cycle, but i'll forgive you if you get this entry finished smile.gif

    eh, i played around with it a little, went with the scavenger idea. he's the scavenger king! general to all the second wave forces that do all the nasty cleanup/killing off the dying. he's found some collectables through this occupation:

    the legs definately have a clunky construstion about them. i imagine they would move like an 8-bit run, if you follow, or a slow wobble like the egg-shaped aliens in the 5th element (i hated those things) i should say, i do appreciate the concept for it's unique approach.

    haahahaha yes, definitely an 8-bit run is what he would have. he's the scavenger king... like a vulture, or the lowest rung of the social ladder in medieval societies that would pick through the bodies for valuables. the scavenger king and his force aren't quite so much of a clean-up crew as that, but definitely a rear-guard action, more about mopping up remnants artfully than true front-line action. so you can imagine him swiveling his head around on a futuristic battlefield littered with the dead and dying, and then a slow loping gait (often stepping on the dead and dying) when he suddenly stabs someone and then takes his watch.

    blah...I wont be able to submit my entry frown.gif . About 2 weeks ago I had to format my comp because it was locking up while booting but after a clean install of windows it was acting up; programs would install incomplete, errors after installing, junk. So after another format last week it was still being flaky. My comp officially crapped out on friday and I'm ordering a new one today smile.gif my comp was awesome... 4 years ago tongue.gif

    I did save some early'ish wip files onto my usb drive. I'll get back to working on it when my comp arrives.

    I'm really dissapointed that I wont submit anything. Congrats and goodluck to everyone.
