Thought i would give this Dominance War thing a go been pondering doing this since the first one.

Anyway this is a Machine Scout inspired by a Fiddler Crab (Uca Perplexis to be precise), im a big fan of crustaceans and i have had this idea for a while :).

This scout will be small enough to gather information easily without being spotted. It will possess light armour and no Ranged weapons, its only defence being it's large claw.

i will update this post with progress as i create this.

Changed the eyes to "protective" ones that can conceal themselves inside the body

went back to the "drawing board" and done a little sketch to give me an idea of how i want this to look.
im not the best at drawing as you may see :P, worked off of a reference of a crab.

it seems ;)

I have seen lobsters, tentacles and different other stuff 'round.
But you are just concepting your character. Perhaps this one would like a pair of rocket launchers on his back or a shoulder weapon like a Predator. And (if seen in your final pic) you should take care for the mouth. I think, the mouth of lobsters with all those details within might look more technical.

Good point, I reckon a weapon on the back may add something more to this, Rocket launchers sound good. I like the idea of having the mouth like a crab lobster would also be good. thanks for the suggestions!

I agree some weapons on back or shoulder is cool. Could reveal from a compartment on his back. When I saw this, I was thinking some sort of hidden weapons when his claws open, like a cannon/laser of some sort.

Keep up the concepting! I'm liking it.:)

I was thinking of having a hidden weapon on the Smaller Claw, or inside the mouth. as this would give these body parts a purpose.

i think it would be pretty cool to have the mouth open up to have a laser/gattling gun type thing inside

Quickly made this idea i had for the Mouth Flaps, would have a weapon back there, and possibly some small arms/tentacles for manipulating stuff or operating different scavenged weapons/items
