Beast of Burden - Character - XVIVO

#50

Its a very good concept.

I don’t really like the style of the fort on the back. Something a little more streamlined would be good. And rather than just sticking a small building on the back it could be a little more custom built for the situation.

I also can’t help but imagine people being thrown off the top by the movement and momentum of the beast. So something design that can counter that might be cool. A gyroscope based design perhaps?

I quite like the scale, if anything it could be a bit smaller,… its sooo huge at the moment.

Is this going to be a defensive unit or attacking? I can see it as being either.

Wow that thing is mammoth! Cool idea, and model.

#52

YEA!!! Much better!!!:smiley: BIG IS BETTER!!! MUAHAHAHH!!! :bounce:

#53

I liked the cage with the skeletons more, but maybe thats just my mine :slight_smile:

anyway the beast is really amazing :applause:

#54

Yeah, Im thinking cage more…that was the original concept…so maybe i should stick with it… The huge think might be getting away from me…Im so confused

:buttrock: this guy rocks! the only thing i feel strange about is how the tower on his back is attached to the body. you should integrate it better, i think. so go on!:airguitar

DONK

That’s way cool modeling!!! and the concept is very neat too!!

I love it, keep it coming!!!

#57

ok…a change of gears…

This BOB is henceforth know as a Ga-tauk. He is equipped with a single operator control (SOC) battle unit. The unit is equipped with a tri-tachyon device (TTD). This is the latest issue of the TTD which oddly enough performs much better then the Bi-tachyon device (BTD) :slight_smile:

The TTD has peformed well in simulated battle manuvers.

The Ga-tauk is controlled via a neural interruption device.

details later

Oh man! I can’t beleive that’s upgraded to the TTD! I only just got the Bi-tachyon device. I’m still using my old-school mono-tach device too. It makes great toast. :wink:

hehehe

Seriously though. I love it. That pack is pro’lly your best one yet.

#60

Looking cool, dig the high tech spin on it. I like the grace of the gear but something with more of a ‘business end’ would be cool I think…unless they fire in arcs like anime weapons? It looks weighty enough on him, though I think he could shrug that thing off and play basketball with it given half a chance :smiley:

(I had to upgrade to the Bi-Tachyon Device, for some reason no one would talk to me when I told them I had a Single Tachyon Device :stuck_out_tongue: )

#61

Guys, If you cant get your hands on the TTD let me know. I have contacts and i can get 'em at a fair price…hehe

cube, I did play with the business end approach, but I like the elegance of the (SOC) battle unit. Three three spikes emit a very powerful pulse that is quite spectacular to witness…especially to see it vaporize a full grown cow. Now thats a barbecue!!

well I may have to put this “pack” away as a Personal WIP…

having reread the rules…I think I am getting away from the topic.

must have harness
has to haul something(ie. a contraption from it’s owner, or even a boulder)

should carry trinkets, suited by owner (ie. artifacts, insignia’s)

so I gotta sketch up a new pack…will post sketch when finished.

Not to worry about the TTD, it is safely stored in an undisclosed security hold

Gotta say this is still my favorite BoB. Are there any updates? I was looking forward to seeing how the creature is turning out.

Keep 'em coming!

:bounce:

It’s my favourite Beast of Burden, too! But I dislike the newer science fiction variation. I think your Beast is not compatible with science fiction.
Your skeleton cage was great! I would suggest to go a step backward but I am also looking forward for new sketches!
Desu!
:wavey:

#65

That last pic ROX :buttrock: One of my fav’s for this challenge so far:thumbsup: :applause:

#66

thanks again for the compliments. The reason I have not updated him… well…mainly because my wife and I had a baby girl on the 9th!
so i have to take a few days off from the computer. but soon the bob will live again!

#67

HEY! Congratulations mike! :slight_smile: :thumbsup:

#68

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Even more sleepless nights ahead then :wink:

I must admit I agree with Stange, the best shot for my money (and my current desktop) is the one just after the screen grabs showing the wireframes. The one on the 07/05 is a fantastic piece. I like the continuation with the red eyes later on too though.

Once again congrats to yu and your wife!

Look fwd to seeing you posting again.
