this is a little out of my comfort zone. i am not much of an artist and certainly not a sculptor. but i am not averse to trying new things and crumpling aluminum foil into a sculpture was certainly new
first i tried to make a spider, that seemed like a good place to start
rolling 4 long sticks to make the 8 legs
now how to make the body?
while the body was far from perfect it was finished enough for me to move on to something a little more advanced
little being the key word here. i decided to try a crab.
again 4 sticks to make 8 legs
a much bigger body
a couple of antenna like eyes
again i got the basics but rather than try to improve the details i started over from scratch
and here you can see the two together. prototype to the left and improved variant to the right.
even if you are not overly impressed with the final result i hope you can at least see some signs of improvement
