Crabby!

(1/6) > >>

Arik_the_Red:
Yes, I sat down and started making something... Been a long time....

Figure views so far, without and with bones visible...

Arik_the_Red:
Yes, I know it's not kosher, but am posting again... Am updating the original images on the first post as I develop the crab. 

One thing I'm unsure about... is whether to create the various main body parts (pincers, legs, eyestalks, etc) as separate figures.  So, at this point am just assembling the whole crab in one figure.

I'm guessing you mean 'objects'
 One thing about attaching seperate parts to a 'characture figure' is that when they move they are liable to come 'apparently' detached from the rest of the figure. ie. An arm moves up, shows a split between arm and shoulder.
 Can possibly be hidden under shell? (but then there is a chance the arm could pass 'through' the shell when lifting).
 Personally, i'd continue as one object, but perhaps make a copy and 'detach faces' and keep all seperate objects for possible future use/experimentation.

 Cool Crabby. Looking forward to see him scuttling around the beach, forward and back from the waves, lol. (as they do. Funny things.)

Arik_the_Red:
Actually, no, I did mean as separaate figures... as in independently animated legs, pincers, etc. Thanks for the feedback, johnar, chewing on it.

johnar:
 Ok. Cool, tho a little puzzled.

  Is crabby going to lose some bits, that move on their own? lol.
 Truly tho, i'm trying to think of advantages/uses of creating a figure made of seperate figures. ?
 Skinning the 1 object allows independant movement of  pincers, legs, eyestalks etc.....
