Chronolith Unit: Rolick

[moonwildflower]

I did some sketching on the plane and this is what I came up with.



A: Started with the basic bug type shape. I see this creature with several eyes for some reason.

B: Trying something different. Like a spider-scorpion crossbreed. Has a long body that hands from the head unit. Stores electricity in the body peice within a clear organ that is visible. Has a grounding wire to prevent electricution of unit.

C:Wacked out mosquito. Multiple wings and eyes. Has four prong mouth peice.

D: Head and spine are the only solid masses on unit. The rest is made up of electricty.

Oooooh I'm liking this one much more than mine! I really like the look of the one on all fours ...

I like B as well. Let's progress with his main body-design. This is a flying unit, so he doesn't have any kind of grounding and that . Let's add the 4-pronged mouth to B and give him some electric wings .

Copy.

Played around with the electric wings and found that I like the other wing type better. Decided to add some color to show off the "lightening scales" I'm thinking about.

[Julio Nicoletti]

Very sexy! I like this this as a final design. Perhaps we could do something a little less cute for the head? The tattered wings don't go so well with that cute little bug face .

EDIT: I just noticed the mouth on the bottom. Maybe make it more prominent. Have it wrap around more of the face and make it longer maybe?

[moonwildflower]

I see what you mean about the cutness. lol. Thankfully this is only the the second go around with this. Got plunty of time to get it right.
I'll wait to see what Giggles says too and then do the next round of redesign.

I think it's nice as well - very creative and artistic. Sorry about the two days of absence, I've been busy and tired, but I finally snagged a time to get on ! I agree with Julio, that it'd be good to have the mouth more prominent. The general look is good, so a few tweaks and more detail are the next two steps.

One difference I see between tattered and solid wings, is the unit's durability. I picture the unit seeming stronger and more durable if it's wings are solid, but if they're tattered it seems that the unit would be more flimsy. The durability isn't much of a worry of mine, but I think having solid wings would make it seem more pristine.

A question that I have, is the four thingies hanging from the head; it fits, but I'm just curious .

[moonwildflower]

I'll see what I can do concerning the mouth and the wings. As for the "four thingies" hanging from its head, those are the beginning of the legs. I'll draw it out so that it's more apparent. lol

[Giggleanthropisticon]

Ah, ok .

[moonwildflower]

I redid the wings and made the mouth piece larger. It that doesn't work, I can try different mouth parts. Also did a top down view of the unit to better show how the legs attach. Let me know what else you want me to change.

Very cool looking. I think the glowing will rock once in the game =)

[wyrmmage]

wow. Those fangs make that thing creepy looking.

[blegs]

What about the cuteness of the head? It still looks a little too cute unless that is what is intended for the unit.

[wyrmmage]

really? That thing's head looks majorly demented, to me.
