Brand New Spider Bug Conversion

[Gauntlet-]

So for some reason i just wasnt happy with my big spider bug, he seemed to lack a few spidery qualities

1. He didnt look at all like a jumping spider
2. He was a bit too big
3. He was Very part costly, and lacked a fat ass...

So I made a new spider bug, complete re-work, based on some smaller models I used, please tell me what you think and what you prefer, the paint scheme is up for change, I simply put something together so I could take pictures... Notably I think the new smaller one will have some minor model changes, but you get the idea for now

with further adieu

That version looks more like a real spider... I like it! Thumbs up!

 

[CmdrKiley]

The smaller one looks more like a spider, however the larger one looks more alien. I like the eye arrangement on the larger one. Good job on both.

 

[Rob_A]

My preference sits with the large one. The eyes are very guady.

the second one cos its cute.

 

[Sgt. Brassones]

I like 'em both. The big guy because it's menacing and the little one because it's more...spiderly?

 

[Dr. Rooster]

Always love little things. Ooh-rah!

And he looks so cute!

ALright here is a bunch of paint schemes to ponder, so Please tell me what you guys like best,

Here is whitey from that actual jumping spider pic

Whitey with not so white stripes... IE Tanny

finally the Orb Spider, kinda... and with darker eyes...

 

[Rob_A]

Whites are better.

 

[jamano]

The big giant bulbous eyes are weird...with all the work you're putting into it, why not just buy a spider bug? :wink:

because I hate the model.

and I really like doing conversions, I pretty much plan on doing 90% of my special species as conversions.

plus their spider bugs look like ticks and have 6 legs, how lame is that.... SPIDER = 8 damnit

I agree, he-(what gender are you Gauntlet?)

Anyhoo, erm, hers are better. Plus the spiders are way overpriced! :x

Oh, and by the way, I like the yellow stripes, simply because I hate white!

 

[Gauntlet-]

are you Hitting on me? Well your hitting on a Guy

Rooster! Do you have no shame!?

lol

 

[jamano]

a spider from another planet doesn't have to have 8 legs, that's just what the trooper calls it

lol

What idiot would want to hit on somebody whos gender is unknown? Plus we're on company forums, not a dating site! :lol:

Plus I'm straight!

But seriously, take the yellow paint scheme!

 

[Gauntlet-]

maybe ... its not bad

BTW,

the CGI spider bugs had 8 limbs, and the Arachnids, are classified as such, the movie explains that while they are closer related to our arachnids genetically (IE 8 legs and such) their behavoir is more like ants.

Seriously, their arachnids, they are all spiders of a sort,

and what fun is a spider bug that has little or no appearance to a spider? 8 legs is the hallmark of spiders, thus the model should have it.
