*gasp* Robo Blue!

names in this color of blue have been completed, but pictures haven't been taken for them.

anyone with suggestions is welcome to suggest them, but i would like to reserve the right to decline in making all mod enemies, for the sheer fact that there's about 100 different modded enemies for Marooned on Mars by itself.

critique is also wanted, because i want to hone my plasticine skill to its highest.

if this should be merged with the fanart thread, i do not mind, but i created my own thread because i want a way for all the characters to be displayed on one easily found page.

EDIT6: okay, i'm practically done the project (enemies that spark my fancy will be added), anyone have any suggestions for models?

Awesome. Good luck on this project.
Just a couple minor suggestions:
-Take a bunch of shots from different angles, so we can see the models better and so there's less chances of the final images being blurry.
-Double-check your hyperlinks.

But seriously, this is pretty cool. I'd personally like to see you make the Cobrit from Keen8 (which I see is on the list) just so I can see how you keep the clay standing up, but that's just me.

i only provided one of each picture because although i usually take three, i thought people would get sick of more than one each.

for the cobrit, i have toothpicks which i'll jam into its body, to both create guides for the coils and make sure it stands up.

i may need a better camera to take less blurry photos. with luck, i may find one in the depths of my house.

both the robored and the keen stand above the length of an index finger, but i'm making the new ones less than thumb-height.

finally, i may have a bit of trouble with the upright arachnut, can someone provide me with a picture of a stunned one? thanks in advance.

What happened to the Eros Hayro project?

What happened to MMS' figurine project?

MMS has gone away. I don't know why, he didn't contact me now for a pretty long time.

MMS' sig says he's inactive, but since he doesn't post (being inactive), you don't ever really see it.

the hayro experiment still has some explaining to do, anti204 is working on the tileset, which should be enough to finish the training base BWB level by april 9th.

anyway, this is just a little something for me to do while i wait for my turn to come up.

anyone have any requests for figures?

Sorry I forgot to upload a pic before, but here's the stunned arachnut:


I would kina like to see a Foob, but they may be slightly harder to do.

Kids these days - even have brand names for plasticine.

the brand of plasticine i'm using is Van Aken company's claytoons brand.

pictures for the bipship, yorp, meep, red vorticon, cobrit, spirogrip, and the patsy will be unveiled later today, as well as at least one other character...

UPDATE!

pictures for many of the sprites have been created!

Yes, RoboBlue is the surprise I made, in all its robotic, unfinished glory.

Wow, they look great! I especially like the Bipship.

Could you use another camera or use more distance while taking a picture? All of those are pretty out of focus.
