A large, 50mm figure I'm working on for my upcoming 4e campaign. Also for the monthly figure hoard. In my campaign crystals are used as a magical power source. This is why it has 4 large ones in its back. The big right arm will have a ranged attack to grab players and pull them or just swing em around and toss. After being defeated the pilot (probably a gnome or halfling) will jump out of the hatch in front and continue the attack!

Very nice! I like the exaggerated style, and this will look cool as hell as a figure. JIM

Heck yeah!
That looks great!
My only concern at this moment is the flimsyness of the legs... they seem a bit narrow for a paper fig.

Thanks guys!
The legs are thin, but I'm probably gonna leave solid black between the two.
I've got to draw and cut a looot of minis this week for Saturday's game, so not gonna go uber-detailed.

That is really amazing. I can't wait to see the final colored version!
Now I'm going to have to find a way to work it into my campaign!

If you had the time - and I know you didn't you could have left the crystals off and done them as a 2.5D feature. This look great.

Man, I agree!
That is ridiculously cool!
I can't wait to build one (or seven) of these bad boys!
What color scheme are you thinking of going with?

Hey kricket-GREAT work! Really like your style-kinda reminds me of SCUD the disposable assassin! Looking forward to seeing the finished version.

That's going to look incredible colored. I really do like the exaggerated style. Of coarse now you need an army of them, at least 5 poses. JIM

Very nice, I like the inking. It has a nice comic book styling. I can't wait to see it backed and colorized.

Thanks everyone,
5 poses?! egad. Won't happen for quite a while, too many other figs to draw.
Going with a red/silver scheme for an evil look, it's part of an invading army.
Workin on the back, nothing to post atm.

Great looking drawing! I really like the contrast between the "huge claw on a chain arm" and the spindly, spider-like arm. That's an excellent character!

I am full of fail and I apologize for taking so long. Nearly a month after the figure hoard ended! How does this work for releasing "finished" figures? I had it to scale in Photoshop (at 800 dpi) and I first tried exporting it to 72 dpi for the web but it seemed to small. I ended up exporting to 144 dpi. (EDIT: Replaced image with 300 dpi version) The shading/shadow work on the backside is different from the front, but hopefully not too much. The way I did the front was a lot slower, messier way than I learned to do the back.

That's a really nice figure... very unique.
I hear 300dpi works best for printing...
The shading on the front looks great. The shading on the back has a nice style to it that fits the figure very well, but I can tell it is different from the front. I personally prefer the shading on the front because of the smooth transitions between light and shadow...

Very cool!
You can post this in the current HOARD topic, the theme is only a suggested idea, not and exclusion, you can submit whatever you like.
300 dpi is good. Nate, who compiles the finished HOARD can scale the figure down to the right size for the finial set. JIM

I actually prefer the shading on the back. It seems to me to be more in tune with the cartoon look of the figure.
