humble beginnings -monster rider 2012 challenge

 my crustacean beast is a go-go. i love this part of the
process. all hope and high expectations. check blog 3 weeks from
now for moping and defeat

nope it's not a space croissant. i'll get some sketches up later. the hot glue
burns still sting

Dragon Sculpt

New dragon sculpture. Finally finished the armature and attached it to the base. It still needs a lot of support. Might have to anchor the tail down.

take 2 on mr elite

the yellow straps are temporary. wearing these i'm 6'5". add on
the helmet and i could be right at 7 feet tall.

the bungie cord in between the toes pull the toes together
when you lift your foot. the block in the front is angled to spread
 the toes out when they meet the ground. the wires on the rear top of the toes keeps them from
sagging completely down and trippin my ass.  more of a natural walk like a bird-lift foot-
droop some, together. spread when the touch down.
 i'll put little wheels or casters on the underside ends of the toes so when they
connect with terra firma  they won' t catch

break your neck. the leg frame is the
biggest concession to the design. you will see
the back of my knee  through the suit. screw digitgrade
stilts. not walking in  a crowd with those. this keeps my foot relatively
flat. i'll add an ankle support so as not to twist my leg
in a fall.
