-these next few MACRODONS start to differ more significantly from the design of #157 I decided on for the next toy design.

163

-tiny
-another drawing from the designs for #157 & very similar to #160

162

-drippy
-another drawing from the designs for #157,
-this MACRODON's legs are kinda weird and puny
-again, the arms are similar to #157 but still very thick at the top

161

-another drawing from the designs for #157,
-this design is more simple, specifically the legs
-arms are similar to the end result, but still very thick at the top

160

-another drawing from the designs for #157,
-here the arms are thicker towards the top (vs. at the "hands")
-also, this MACRODON's legs end in stumps, not feet...

159 + more (pencils)

#159 concept drawings and a few variations for a new toy design.

telescopic legs

culled from the designs for #157 -this will the next MACRODON toy.

157 (texture studies pt.5)

hah! I am not going to attempt to sculpt this texture,
although awesome... too time consuming for now...

157 (texture studies pt.4) +158

from these studies for "#157", I was going for the texture of #158 here, above,
and failed with this:

this just looks like a bad sketch for the bark textures seen a few posts ago...





So, I sketched out some lines in Photoshop with my drawing tablet from this scan/composite:




(here I took #158, and distorted it into the shape of #157,
using the exact same texture, and I think it turned out o.k.)

157 (texture studies pt.3)

This design looks like I just phoned it in... but really, I got stuck on a few other designs I could not work out, so this is all for now...

157 (texture studies pt.2)

tree bark was my inspiration here.

157 (texture studies pt.1)

Here is the first in several designs for the texture of this MACRODON.
