Hmm, the claws a very lobster like. The head reminds me of a praying mantis, and the body of a banana. I love it, it really looks like a cool robot.

Now that's what I'm talking about when I talk about matching the "gist" of a concept. Nice job!

Really nice, like that praying mantis one, like Mike says a real distinctive interpretation still close to the concepts. Jolly.

Hey, your models all looked very safisticated, like their structures did not look amaturish at all. Are you very interested in machine like stuff since you were little or what?

I was testing what i learned on UV mapping a bit. So I came up with some tests. As time goes, ill get the handle of doing this process better. But for now, heres a try:

Hey whats up. Just wanted to say thanks to all of you who is in this challenge. Its really inspiring me and driving to learn things I once before didnt know. Anyway, i spent a good 4 hours after successfully doing my first uv (the ninja guy. hes just a test lemon user added image

), I decided to put my newly acquired knowledge to use by mapping my mantis-crab-like robot. I just now finished setting up the UVs, when i get back from dinner ill start the textures.

Anyway, here are some screenies. Actual uvmap size is 512x512.
Sorry my images are small, i have 56k so eheh.
