Competition #14 - Syren

I'm very psyched! I can't wait to get my teeth into this one. Or should I say pincers? ^^

Well, my idea is to use a cricket.
Seeming that Crickets are naturally black (here in the midwest at least) and they only come out at night, why not a stealth-driven class? How about a spy/ninja class. And they could use their tines on the back of their legs to help scale walls as well as use them to make an eerie noise right before he strikes!

Here are my images at the moment. It's not unwrapped or anything and right now he's at 421 polies/ 842 triangles.

Well, I can't say the cricket idea made me jump for joy.
I did this today and I can't wait to put the shine on it. ^^

Well, here is the next step of it all.

I was planning on allowing this unit to attack by using laser-beam eyes which would be hidden behind a hood of glass, or be able to sweep through and napalm an area.

Anyone have any comments...?

Well, I reworked a lil texture on the wings and was messing with some ideas. Here's a quick update before I rush off to work! o.O"
(Yes I know there's some visible mesh issues, srry) ^^"

Well, that's that!

I've offically entered my first competition on Game-Artist.net. I really wish someone would have said something, ANYTHING on my design process. Ah well! With time right?!
Here's the final napalm-dropping, radar-eyed flame skimmer.

Hi Syren,
Sorry for not giving you any feedback, forums can be a bitch for that at times - sometimes perfectly good work gets left by the wayside.

For what it's worth I think your designs got progressively stronger throughout the competition, so it looks like you were doing just fine on your own. I actually really like the fire wing idea, and my only crit on the final image would be that it would be great to see those things out at night, to really show off the fire, and get away from the happy happy joy joy feel of blue sky and green grass.
