Spider 3D Renders +Prototype (Patreon)
Content
Ok first up on the requested renders list, the Spider!
I think this is a good one to show off because more than usual critique landed, questioning if this really looked/felt "spider enough".
Of course I'm biased. I redesigned most of this one many years ago, and refreshed it again for the kickstarter. What I consider cuttable details, and how I interpret others, wont line up with everyone's preferences.
That said, I think this is one of those minis (much like the blackjack and centurion) that look various levels of questionable in 3D, but look great physical.
So, while I don't think I really have full authority to post our first stage prototypes here, I think a little back shot can sneak in. This mech's entire rear is dedicated to flight and super dashes. I also think the fins make fairly good sense this time around, even if I couldn't get as fancy with the articulation of things as I'd prefer due to production needs.
For the pose, if you want ultra speed looks you'll need to de-base the mech and do a little leg bend/chopping. It's our tallest and leggiest light mech and couldn't get into a faster run pose without going off the base.
What do ya think?
And please especially keep that prototype shot unshared, though you have all done very good about not leaking content over the last year.
Is my boss Brent going to pop in and slap my wrist?
