Unicron, really looks like a bad ass supernatural Norse God or something. Truly amazing work my friend.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I really wanted to carry this mythological presence to Unicron, and I think giving him his own nebulous atmosphere (Due to his sheer size) really helps interpret this. I'm glad it carried out well. Thanks again for the feed back. Keep a look out being I'm building yet another giant robot. Ha ha ha

Alright, another update on what I'm now dubbing as Project "X". First some artwork and renderings on what I'm planning to do.

As you can see, unlike the pervious two robots which were used for props or were workig suits, this one for the most part will be functional. Meaning the claws and arms have to be functioning enough to take a swipe at something and hold, along with fold onto and transform out of the front of a working motorcycle for various test reasons. And the head, well the head has to do alot of gruesom stabbing. As for reasons why, I have them...reasons that is...but I'll disclose them when this project is close enough to finished.

Anyways I finally got the working blades for the front saber fangs as pictured here:

Which were then fitted into the mouth of this bot, code name "Fatalis", along with other functioning blades for the lower mandible as illustrated here:

The end result is a wicked mouth full of pain. As pictured here:

Anyways the skull is about 85% complete, I just need to set up the optical LED's which will make up Fatalis' eyes. Then it's on to constructing the arms and claws. Here are a few more pics of the head to enjoy, when the eyes are installed and the head painted I'll be sure to post more pics :grin:

Alright I hope you enjoy.

More fun updates on Project X muahahaha!

First off, I've aquired a Bike which will serve as host to project: R4V4GE, also known as Fatalis. Here are some pics of the bike as well as the Fatalis skull so i get a feel of rough placement.

The owner of the bike is very excited to see what I build. Also here's a few pics of he LED eyes I've recently installed into the Fatalis skull, as well as the eye casings themselves which will go over the LED's.

And finally, here's how the Fatalis skull looks with it's newly installed eyes, I luv how this project is turning out so far!!! XD

Here's one last pic of the Fatalis skull, I just liked how the lens flare looks ha ha. Alright, I'm on to working on the chest cavity and arms/claws. I'll post updates here of things as they..ahem..."Transform"

I hope you guys enjoy.

New pics of Fatalis, as you can see I have the skeletal structure for the chest, neck, and arms all worked out and built as well as the neck fleshed out in terms of armor and mechanics. So far, it's turning out very very very well indeed.

Here's a closer look at the nech, the armor segments mimick the actual skeletal structure of Smilodon Fatalis, the animal this bot is being modeled after.

Next I'll move onward to the shoulder blades and chest..and so on and so forth, I plan to be done with construction by this week. Hopefully ha ha ha

My first viral vid of this ongoing project is up on youtube.
The purpose of these vids are to give a behind the scenes look at how myself and many others make this teaser tralier possible. There are more of these vids coming, I have two made but only one up and posted, I'll post the other sometime Monday with footage of the bike and the stunt rider.

Hey guys, so here the 2nd Viral vid i was talking about highlighting the motorcycle that will be used for this project and the stunt rider Steve.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Za3NoRwSgU

Now, these vids aren't the same as the finished vid/trailer itself. But they're something fun to watch while things progress. Here though is a still shot from the actual trailer footage we shot today, which was our offical day of filming. Note one of my old creations makes a cameo in the back ground.

Fatalis is pretty much done, the arms and claw mechanics have been fabricated and sorted. I'll post more pics of those so you can see up close how deadly this thing is becoming. I'll also be posting more viral vids from the set, our prop room, more of my wacky staff and camera people, so be sure to check out the you tube channel here:

Enjoy,

What's up Josh. Very good work. Your sculptures are really impressive. I stumbled across your Voltron art while doing research for Robeasts. I'm going to attempt a painting of my own design. Any way congrats on your art man. Very talented.

Hey thanks man, yeah the Voltron gig was fun, a bit rushed but fun. I had to pump out those designs pretty much over night, alot of it was for toy desings too so I had to figure out mechanics and how it would all stick, character turn arounds, role play items, lots of nonesense. It would be fun to work on the franchise again sometime in the future.

Thanks again!
