An idea I came up with last week
Any suggestions and c&c are welcome. Nothing is set in stone. e.g. - What things would you like to see added - What kind of background do you think would suit best - How to make the snail's expression more distinctive Update:

It's a unusual idea and the work on the shell so far is very nice  Perhaps a red-sky background, with fighter plane silouettes, maybe some ruined building and the snail drooling? ------------- |

If it was a French army he'd have to re-draw them running away from the snail. ;)

be careful with the lightsourcing, you have a huge fire behind the snail but the light from it isn't being shown on the snail or the ground at all. It'd be cool to have a hot red light from behind and a cold blue light in front or something, but right now it doesn't make sense.

"Mmmh soldiers!" *yum* I like the idea a lot. Would be funny if there was a foot or an arm hanging out of his mouth. And a kill-counter in form of a tally(don't know if that's the right word, but I think of a list in the form of small I's, where after each four I's the next stroke is a strikethrough through those four I's) on his shell. ------------- http://www.dennisbusch.de/index.php - 0xDB | https://twitter.com/dennisbusch_de - twitter |

Thanks for your comments. Yes, red backlighting is planned but I'll probably wait until I got all the details in there I want. I like the tally (dunno either) idea. I might also consider the foot or arm thing if I can't make him drool in a convincing way. ------------- ... |
