Week 3

Pot-Bellied Vulture-Ish Thing

Trying to not get too caught up on any specific parts, but the wings really speak to me. Actually, the tail stinger was what started this one. On first glance, it looked more like a vulture face than a tail stinger to me. Go figure.

Week 2

Cyber-Insectoid Individual

There's a decidedly non-mammalian vibe that technology shares with the insect world. I'm not the first individual to point out this link as the Invid from Robotech, the Insectagons from the Transformers clearly express this notion. 

Probably the one creative work that always exists in the back of my mind, however, is the cover art from the Herbalizer's Giant Wall Crawling Insect Breaks album. This was released during my formative college years and so is always somewhere in the back of my head. 

I started going off the grid pretty good with this one. It's back is two leg pieces and its face is, I think, someone's breastplate or something. Sure, the appendage ends are pieces manufactured as such, but I was having trouble using other things. I really think the Xevoz needed to come with adapters so that any part could join with any other. There's something to look at, 3d printers of the world, make some adapters!

Week 1

Heavy Metal Kid's Notebook Thing

I was myself a heavy metal kid (mainly Metallica with some King Diamond thrown in) and drew some awesome weapons in my school notebooks (rule of thumb, the more boring the class, the more awesome the arsenal). Prolly fitting that this was the first thing I came up with when confronted with the pile of Xevoz I got on fleabay. I mostly missed Xevoz the first time around, I was a Stikfas nut but got out of toys right when Xevoz started. 

Also, I need to give the Residents a shout, the eyeball face thing is all them. 

Anyhoo, I'm challenging myself to do a character build a week for 2015. I might throw in some Stikfas if need be, and possibly even some Modibot if I get around to getting some. 

Cheers.
