[ Okey dokey... ]

[ Feels like it's been a bit since I last posted a robot topic. ]

[ If it's not clear, please note that this is not a robot gorilla, but rather it is a robot that is utilizing something like the gorilla's knuckle walk. ]

I don't understand the "saber-like arms" part. Do you mean arms that looks like swords? Arms that are curved like a scimitar? Arms as thin as blades?

[Mort]

use your imagination man.

[William b. Hand]

pl4y wi7h m3 - Yes, exactly... arms like swords or thin as blades. Whichever you prefer. This is a rather tricky one, actually... Do your best with your best interpretation.

[Mr-Joe]

Can't it be like a saber cat? or some other way of interpereting the word Saber like?

[ROEster]

I'll go 1st:
> Photoshop / 1.5 hours

its a concept folks!
so concept!

I prefer to throw the idea up there and have the Director say "well thats not what I had in mind but it's so cool...let's go withthat one. Of course, some times the director says "what were you thinking thats not what I wanted at alll...." then its back to the drawing board for me.

one cameramonkey-bot...coming up
okay ok so gorillas dont have tails and the front sabre thinga are more preying mantis-oid..thats just the way it decided to be

It might like too much like a robot gorilla though :(

[ROEster]

hqk - nice pose
vuk 2, I like the metalic appearance - some menacing hands too.

Thanks for the comments, DrFx, I can see what you mean.

Created in some 80's labratory while on a chemical high, this mechanical oddity was lost to the sands of time and the advances of technology

I'm sorry I'm late.

I know a lot of that mechanically really wouldn't work, but I just wanted to finish the damn thing.

[chaosrocks]

pl4y_wi7h_m3-- when you scan your work if you (assuming PS) auto adjust the contrast and then put the Dodge tool on about 10% and go over it..it'll clean it up and make it lots less smudgy.....

I have smudge problems myself, this is why I love my computer
