hi geeks and freaks!
I just returned from holliday where I had time to think and sketch arround.
one of this brainbabys is samy, yes the samy: the battlebeetle

I´m half ready with the modelling now.
perhaps I´ll also work out a scenery for him ... here we go:

it´s a intergalactic bug
a techmech-insect
a micromacrobattlebeetle

I´m just adding some more details
but it will allways stay abstract in it´s way. my intention was or is to mix up several inputs: insect, machine, cartooncharacter

having a lot of fun with it cause with every step and detail it is on the border between making it more real (f.e. defining the eyes more clearly or leaving the soft cylinder as it is) or keeping it as a association of a insect or robo thing.

my focus is more to give the little boy interesting proportions to transport it´s expression ... u c ?

I just must say that it is interesting.....That's it. If you plan on it being an intergalatic beetle mech thingie then it needs some weird loovers and panels to give it the mech look..

woman soap product made me laugh
perhaps I should add some foam on it

the exhaust is better bool :thumbsup:

and I also have one question for it:
I think abbout a beach scenery for little samy. and ask myself how to do the waves and the spray.
I would like to have it in a really 2D style in a sort of japanese woodprint style

if its static could build the wave shape...then matrix extrude the spikey tips off selected polys...but could be a poly killer..
