Yeah, I admit it. i totally failed on the menacing front.

Note to self: Must try harder next time…

Nah, I don’t think failure is in any way involved here. :slight_smile: If you tweaked him digitally, it would be easier to change him to make him look more menacing, if that was what you wanted. :slight_smile:

Perhaps I should just tell my MA group that this is the beast as portrayed only moments after a good nights sleep??.

I don’t know if you have seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but:

“Bloody hell!! - that rabbit’s dynamite!!” comes to mind. :scream: He can be really mean when he wants to be, basically speaking…

MIKE :slight_smile:

OMG, I LOVE Monty Python! :smiley: Though I haven’t seen it in years. :slight_smile:

Keep up the good work, Mike! :slight_smile:

Yo Mike

Sterling work here, I’m loving the mantis mech, and the beast is really nicely done. Although it is distinctly lacking in menace.

“whats he building in there”>> a relatively harmless, quite amiable herbivore, with the manner of a Hindu cow, what a lovely man.

Just kidding, I agree with RK, recon you could soon make it scary. Most dogs look quite amiable until they snarl at you and bear their fangs (happens to me a lot for some reason) and then they’re bloody terrifying!

#106

LOL mate, that just about sums “the beast” up… (I based his demeanor on you - wouldn’t you know it?!! :smiley: )

Happy Birthday bloke >>> 25 OMG!! As REM sang; “It’s the end of the world as we know it - and I feel fineeeeeeeeeee… LOL.”

MIKE :scream:

#107

OH NO!!! dont mention that:scream:, I’ll be 50 before I know it… ARRRGGGGGHHH…

at least I always know that I’ll always be slightly younger than you, which gives me some pleasure!

#108

What’s this??? Sardonic Englishmen age? :curious: :scream:

Happy Birthday, AOAH…when it’s Mike’s turn here, be sure to let me know so that I can send him my best wishes muahahahaha! :twisted:

Cheers, :slight_smile:

#110

#112

Your creature from skeleton to muscle to skin is totally impressive! Really nice work. What a fantastic exercise too.

#115

Default. Rol // Mike…WOW…:bounce:

Really likeing your critters…:slight_smile:

Asian DRAGON HORNS on that saber toothed one might look nice, pointing toward back.
Might add to the flow and motion of your great design…just a thought…

Don’t forget the barbed spikes on your mantis claws. Those are what hold it’s pray in
place, while it devours whatever it has captured…always head first…used to feed
them bugs when I was a kid…would take them to school, put string like a leash around their neck…used to freak the girls out LOL …:eek:

Take Care

@Amerasu - Thank you for the kind words. It is something I would never have attempted before undertaking Becca’s anatomy workshop, as I wouldn’t have even known where to start. So I must credit her with giving me the foundation to do it.

@Spirit Dreamer - I am such a big fan of your work! Thank you for the advice on the mantis - I saw my first wild ones in the High Atlas mountains in Morocco. And they were really cool to look at, so i figured they would make a decent mech.

Thank you for the feedback guys

Becks

There was this mad article about Mr.T on MSN a few days back… something about him being the voice for an in-car navigation company… that made me laugh as much as his “top 30 facts” …

MIKE :slight_smile:

#119

LOL…I was wondering where you come up with this stuff. :smiley: Some of just have talent, I suppose. :scream:

Cheers, :slight_smile:
