Carapace Armour Design

lerky1 · January 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">concept work</div> alot of people were asking me to post some of my work here, sadly im loosing interest in ns because a little 'misunderstanding' at ausns made me loose alot of the motivation. ausns is where i usually post some of my stuff. i dont have any recent work. so ill post this.

carapace i think, really means shell. so this is what i reakon they should put on our skulks~

Too bad that is only half of how Cara works

What you forget is that they add an extra layer of skin/flesh or whatever on top of the carapace layer, making it still look like a regular skulk.

Besides, it has a headplate...but maybe that could be the reason for the hitboxes now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Side-note : It r needing teh veinz on teh back!!

from dictionary.com:

carapace
n : hard outer covering or case of certain organisms such as arthropods and turtles [re:shell]

so, carapace IS supposed to look like that... just... more of it.

It does have the "veinz" on its back. Look a little closer.

I think it's an awesome job. Especially without a reference pic you have gotten so many details. I think the face is phenominal(sp?). It really just looks like a skulk with carapace. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> I like the head plate the most; I suppose because it doesn't stick out as much.

That skulk has had a overdose of body-builder pills ( i thought I would go with the generalised title as I dont have a clue about individual pills)..I think thats a good thing. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

very very very nice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>:D:D

the only 2 things bugging me about that is the thickness of the forearms and the length of the body, everything else is great <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

RPG_Jssmfulhud · January 2004

Damn, that is superb work. The carapace looks really good except for the body proportions, yeah... A bit high on steroids, but otherwise, good job! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
