Finally at the end of Concept Art Unit...apart form Evaluation....Damn Evaluations!!

I settled on a Final Design and began drawing the Orthographic for it, i had to draw the legs, arms and body separately, as most of the detail is on the body the arms and legs would have hid that and it wouldn't have been very good for modeling reference.

I dont know if you can see it on here but the body is in sections, the large tail can collapse in on itself and tuck away under the head, the head also has sections on it, the back is where all the important organs are, when it breathes the back of the head expands and shrinks just like a humans chest.
Where the sections meet each other, a venomous green ooze, it would also act as a kind of lubricant so that the "Tail" wouldn't  have any problems collapsing in on itself.

The legs and arms can also fold onto themselves as well, allowing it to hid its real size, which is about 11foot tall, with everything folded up it should be really small, making it look harmless, if its attacked, depending on its foe, it will either sit there n wait till they go away or unfold completely and show its full size to rip them limb from limb!! >:D

Antiquitas is the name i have decided to give it, its Latin and literally translates to "The Ancient One".
I wanted it to be a very very old....thing....i think its an insect, im sure anymore...
The idea was that it had been sitting dormant for a lot of years, i think i decided on...hold on ill check..
WHAT!? OVER 9000!!!?!?

. . . . .

Sorry...i couldnt help myself...

Anyway, it had been sitting there for a very long time, in a sort of hibernation state when a massive earthquake tore apart the cavern that it was in, showing a way to the surface and causing Antiquitas to awaken from his deep slumber.


Damien and I have been going on and on at each other about who's "Character" would win in a fight.
My giant, venomous, able to rend bone and tear flesh away in chunks bug, Antiquitas
Or his slightly bigger, steam powered silverback gorilla....
Obviously i said mine was better, i mean look at it!!
Sure a big gorilla is weird n creepy, but a a giant bug with hands that have blades for fingers, dripping with a weird green ooze that you dont know is venomous and acidic, along with the fact that it is blind and can still see perfectly is ever creepier!

The part about it being blind and still seeing perfectly is true, it emits a low pulsing sound, not within human hearing frequency, to detect objects around it, its basically Sonar, which Bats use.

I based the final piece on the discussions me and Damien have about our characters, obviously my bug came out on top as the winner, but like a real fight no1 comes out without damage, i used that to show how my bug became blind, its eyes have been gouged out in the fight, (the sonar was used in places without any light, but now its used all the time).
You may have seen the strange things in the background, those are the eyes of more of my bugs kind, there not blind....lucky gits...
I did that to show that my bug was not the only one of its kind and to show that by killing this one, it would not be the end of the "Bug Infestation" that was fast becoming a problem.
