Where is the latest picture from?
It's the ME2 Derelict Reaper, I believe.
Each to their own, mate. I think it's a great design, a contrast between organicand industrial forms. I think that is unnerving - like a werewolf with a pneumatic drill for a leg or a vampire that's got a tamagochi embedded in his chin. Do you see what I mean? Creepy!
Quoted for organicness.
If you don't mean in a "lines/shapes" capacity then...uh, wat?
Do you not think that a skeletal vibe could have been the intention of the artist? I reckon it must have been to an extent - it links in nicely with the subject matter of the game; all the dead-uns with their insides hanging out and that chasing you about trying to nick your dinner money and disembowel you.
I honestly don't know what the artist meant, just that, at least for me, it wasn't effective. Like I said, that really brings to mind for me a cathedral-esque air with the towers and buttresses effect. That could be exploited for some creepy, but the bronze/gold of it and relatively clean lines of those parts fail to complete the effect.
Bones just lying about don't produce the kind of atavistic reaction that the spiderships do in me, or at least not at this level of stylization where it actually starts to look like something else. To each his own, as you say.
And that vampire/tamagochi line? I thought you'd be all over that!
It was too silly.
And being a proud supporter of transhumanist ideas I sorta like the idea of werewolves with piston-powered legs. Or piston-powered legs. And for that matter, I suppose you could classify werewolves as transhuman in a way too.
