DW III - 3D - Fattkid - Stalker
polycounter lvl 15
Unfortunatley I haven't had the time like I'd hoped to commit to this contest, so this thread will probably be a little half assed, but I might as well to what I can do and hopefully get some input on an idea I'd like to realize at some point, contest or not.
This character is a Stalker. A remnant of scientific studies into genetic engineering prior to the collapse of technology. An organism designed specifically for unarmed combat, as well as easily "programmed" for specific stalking and killing tasks. It is a conglomeration of various types and forms of animal/human, and insect genetic information that has been manipulated for maximum lethal effectiveness and effeciency, as well as cost effective reproduction. They essentially have reptilian brain functions and capacity, although enhanced with insect like capacities for navigation and human like capacities for planning, strategizing, memory and problem solving. Although designed for unarmed combat, they are often enhanced with various types of energy weapons. Most commonly, simple non projectile weapons, such as sword, axe or blade like "attachments" are used for direct, close quarters combat. The unusual power of these weapons come from a mysterious metal like compound retrieved from black holes. This metal is simply called Void metal, due to it's origins. Void metals have a very strange and powerful characteristic that essentially creates "biological black holes" inside any lilving organism it comes in contact with, sucking energy out of all living cells and causing all the cells to implode on contact. Thus, even a minor puncture wound from any sort of Void metal causes a catastrophic and instntaneous internal biological implosion, resulting in instant death.
Here's a few quickie sketches, just sort of exploring some thoughts and ideas.....ultimately the creature will have some sort of light duty armor or outfit as well as a sabre type weapon........

and these mantis amrs
I decided to do a new head, the old one was too boring/generic and didn't match the body very well. I like the full on insect look better.....I think I'm gonna continue with the insect theme when I sculpt this thing too.....
