here is my idea so far, I will be creating a mechanical mythological rhino bug with the head of a lion, or something like that. It is controlled by a chic with a big gun.

here is a quick color splash. will be working on it further at this stage.

The RHINO BUG looks great!

[LORDvesalius]

Hi Jeffrey,
I like your bug a lot. Looking forward for more.
Just one observation: I see the composition is too centered, like a portrait of the bug... maybe another position in the frame will add for greater tension.

Good luck!

[paratrooper]

I like concept. :)

[JeffMD]

mrpeace - thanks!

lordvesalius - thanks too. and also for your advie. will be playing around with your suggestion.

paratrooper - thank you too.

had to do another design, as the previous one doesnt work for me. the horns were good but it occupies most of the top part.

[VictorRojo]

good idea and great concept

[Imara]

That's an interesting concept. Hope you finish soon

[Nickillus]

Hey there Jeff.
Great to see you in your element here. Go for it. I'm just gluing my socks on to make it harder for you to blow them off again. I have absolutely no doubt my feet are due to get cold really soon

[JeffMD]

victorrojo - thanks!

imara- thank you too!

nick - Many thanks, my teacher! nice of you to drop by. lol thank once more for your kind words!

[janmarke]

Nice concept. Looking forward...

[wildcory1]

[JeffZugale]

This is great, can't wait to see the final. Are you gonna really "shiny" up all the brass?

another update for me, but this time I changed the angle of the image, got bored with the old one. I have thought about this angle from the start but never wanted to entertain it as i will be loosing much design i wanted to put in with this angle for the bug.tho I can still salvage some parts from the old one, but I have to do a lot more here and some redesigning. with 8 days left, I think I'm insane. lol

but I will definitely go for this one still.

[SAMANTHAGENE]

hi jeff!

I like the color pallete, Im not to sure about the way the horns are positioned. anyway
great job. as always!
