You know, Machineman, when I was in middle school, my parents would take me to New York, and there was a bookstore where I would get Hobby Japan, this Japanese modeling hobbyist magazine, that and Bubblegum Crisis had very strong influences on me. I most definitely probably saw Auto Battler Dunbine models in that magazine amongst the Gundam and Patlabor stuff that was popular at the time. I also like stuff from the Guyver and this other series with Centaur robots... I forget the name but Dunbine reminds me of that stuff. Ok, your encouragement has given wind to my sails. Here are two more. Meta-Beasts this time around. Again, lacking lots of armor/accessories... I have two more from the sketchbook in the works, that I feel are pretty good, maybe they are even better! Then I'll have to rethink the others sketches. Because they are very generic. I was having a bit of trouble coming up with the dual name scheme that Xevoz follows. In lots of cases it was who the Xevoz was and then their job, or an aspect of the character and their job, or where they hung out and then who they were. Needless to say my brain was racked for thinking up of something. I think these names work out ok. Awesome new ones! I love the Scuba Diver head.

The horse and shark are both awesome as well. Very nicely designed. I especially like how the horse is designed to either stand on two or four feet. Keep it up man!

Hope my wife never sees the shark figure. She'd pester me to death to try and make one for her. She's got this unhealthy obsession with sharks and wolves. Most women it would be puppies, horsies, and kittens, but noooo, my woman's gotta be into apex predators. ;D Didn't heyyou make a shark figure once upon a time? All kidding aside, great work! Any others you've been working on?

Yeah, Heyyou did make a shark figure. I have all his creations stored on a folder on my desktop, just in case he removes them.

Very Nice! They look very professional. I would certainly like to see more! The horse could be 25% larger, and smaller figs could ride on his back, that would be awesome.
Fratmonkey: I never removed any pics, but I think my photobucket account lapsed, and was removed. TBH, I haven't even checked.

Hobby Japan? Oh yeah. Best magazine I never read. 20 bucks and not a word of English. That and Fine Scale Modeler are about as good as it gets.

All I can say is WOW! I absolutely love the Shark and the alternate heads (especially the swamp creature one). A couple of acessories I'd have loved there would be a pirate cutlas, treasure chest, a peg starfish or a couple of peg shells. I could have made an entire species from just kit bashing that one kit and already existing kits. I also adore the horse and agree I'd have loved to see it made in a deluxe kit just because I'd want it to be bigger in scale to smaller figure could ride it and not look so strange.
I can't wait to see future designs. Hopefully we'll get some reptasaurs and hyperfuries in the mix.

What's not to like about a xevoz horse? It's a cool figure, creature other figures can ride on, and snap off the neck/head add a double female collar accessory and a human upper torso for a kick arsed centaur.

... I think a special piece that mounted to the body's head peg and fit into the 2 back holes to ease creation of centaurs would be included with the horse set. Wow, I must have thought of the centaur bash, but it completely slipped my mind when I redrew it from the sketch. great idea. ->A New Species: I'll make these images from the remainder of my cooler sketches, once that's done, I don't know. I've been creatively drained and looking at my old Xevoz sketches was a refresher in character design inspiration. So doing this Xevoz stuff is both an excercise and a creative release for me. Thanks everyone for the interest. I think it's really fun that amongst the bashes and the customs, that there are at least 3 great threads of Xevoz artwork happening now, and I wanted to do stuff too. So, yeah I'll keep on doing stuff as long as it's fun for me. One more Meta-Beast. He comes with a tentacle mouth in case you wanted to have a Cthulhu and a canon that can be mounted as an arm, or foremarm, or just lug around. Then a morning star with chain. (in case all that wasn't clear in the drawing!) Followed by the only Hyper-Fury in my sketchbook, my second female Xevoz design posted here. My first was a bit generic and needs more flavor/ an occupation/theme. You can check it out here: goldengonzo.proboards29.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=fan&thread=1115331928&page=1I think I have one more Meta-Beast concept worth exploring. The rest of the sketches are some Neo-Sapiens which after having read in detail everything wacommonkey mentioned, I'm going to stay clear of territory I think they would have covered and leave that to the imagination or if we are lucky, the real thing, or pictures of them. Although it's funny he mentioned GunBunny, I mean that's like something I'm doing at work... but I guess its a no brainer to think of playboy bunnies with crazy firepower!! Also I'm huge into Busou Shinki still... This pretty much leaves me with my 2 rules for making Xevoz designs: 1: lacking figures and 2: good bashing parts These names came much more easily. Although, I toyed with something like Siege Pacaderm... but then I had the rhino head.
