Description
This is an idea I had once, flipping thru a book on african art... imagine all this totems, or scarecrows, left in the jungle (as the ones in Planet of the Apes)... imagine that in some season, the plants grow and use the totem as a skeleton... the vines function as tendons and muscles, the giant leaves provide energy... the thing walks. All of them do... there's an army of plant-powered wooden skeletons...So I need some sleep...

ooh, I might call this an ent or somthing, except not a giant slow one, this would be like an ent halfling... but Gawd, I do NOT want to know how human/ent hybrids would come about. God my eyes burn... Tree huggers taken to a whole new level.... GAH

reminds me of the robots from "raputa" for some reason
like one of those ancient lost technology things?
like how the leaves give the "flesh" for the robot.

of course, ancient technology all the way...
Haven't heard about that raputa thing...
Thanks, there

You always have the weirdest, coolest ideas.
Something about this guy reminds me of General Grievous of star wars.

I think you told me that about the Spartan robot
You always have the nicest comments

Damn, but if I'm repeating myself... then it only really would seem to count as one comment. To my brain at the moment.
And you always have the nicest art. *worships*

OK, so your brain has a couple of wires crossed

Breathe! Breathe! RCP HERE!

Wow, okay, so I was trying to think of something witty to say, but I'm stuck at the moment. This is just so very spectacular, clever, lively and organic yet so obviously not, and really very inspiring. You have quite the eye.
I really really love the concept behind this too. You should design for movies and make movies not suck.

He, I'd love designing for movies... but they keep bouncing my portfolios back!

Cool piece, great concept!

hmMm, it would be nice if u add maybe some Aztec carvings and markings on him.. coz parts of the body might be remains of aztec civilization and everything.. just a suggestion, this is good enough in itself
π: 0 β©: 1
He, he... this is far less sophisticated than aztec, it's almost uncraved... but thanks for the idea, I'll use it
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, ok. no probs

Very interesting consept and execution. I think the robot propably looks more treathening with the plants in it than whitout them. I donΒ΄t know, there is just something very treathening about this...

Sure, it would be a thing of terror, you bet...
π: 0 β©: 0
Interesting concept, very plausible. I think i like it a lot in fact. The muscles could maybe be water being sucked into and out of bladders grown by the plant?? LIke the fruit or something!

Hey, you have something there! Yes, it works! Cool...
π: 0 β©: 0
wow ... the lines, the shading and not to mention the anatomy! Definitely worthy of my fav

That's quite a compliment, I'm honoured

Very well done! Humbling, to say the least! Beautiful work!
