solifugae moodboard

this is some work i have done on the solifugae so far. Tt is not complete, i have to make fangs and make a texture for the legs body and face then apply them. there are some flaws in the modelling techniques i have used like overlapping polygons etc but it is my first stamp and i need to get on with the other 2. if i have time i will remake this one.

here it is so far:

Sketch

here is a sketch i had done last week for my solifugae. i had to take a picture on my blackberry (no flash and 3MP) so it is not very good quality.

Preperation for first stamp

For my first 3D stamp I am going to do a solifugae which is an order of the arachnida family and is nicknamed by the locals 'Camel Spider'. it has 8 legs but isn't technically a spider although is somewhat very close to it. the name solifugae is latin for the ones who flee from the sun. it has 2 very large antennae-like pedipalps which extrude from the head and look like an extra pair of legs. they are used for climbing and capturing flying prey. the solifugae have 2 very small legs which are used for feeling and sensing (like antennae) and the other 6 legs are used for running. I have done a sketch of a spider and have plenty of reference images and will be modelling and texturing it ready to show on friday. i'll upload the sketch once i can take a picture of it.
