Your welcome.
I like the idea of helmets. It would add to the bash and custom possibilities. Especially with extra option parts like the spikes, horns, fins, cresent moons, visors, goggles, antennas, samurai masks over the mouth, spikes. So many good options with helmets.

Yeah, for the Zombie I was thinking a Marvel Zombieish kind of thing. Maybe I should send Neocladin(SP) a request and have him draw one.

I think a traditional zombie was needed but I also think the vampire we got was crap (although I do like bashing and customizing with the parts). I'd love to see a count dracula/tradional vampire done that doen't look all lame and half-arsed. I also would love to see a very well done death figure with a big honkin' scythe.

When I think of a vampire Xevoz I think it would look somewhat like Dimitri from Darkstalkers. I just don't picture HG as a vampire, never did. More of a Bat Meta-Beast in my eyes. I agree about using the parts for bashes, that's fun. At least it used to be.

Oh yeah, death too. Good idea. With optional purple ti-dye cloak and afro gag pieces.

I would have loved a Xevoz with a hoodie.

Horned Beetle is awesome! He looks very creepy (that's good! ) and would compliment the sectoids very well. Love the colors too. As for Frill Runner, I can't say I'm a huge fan. I think he's your weakest design yet. That doesn't mean much though, since everything you showed us in this thread is beyond cool. Like others have said, the color scheme is my main gripe. I was wondering, would it be possible to get a closer look of what pieces hold the wings and shell halves on Doom Dozer? Like I've said before, a sectoid ladybug makes plenty of sense to me and the only thing keeping me from making one is just that, the wings/shell halves design. Thanks and keep them coming!

I'll admit to Frill Runner being weak compared to some of the others Perhaps with some item/armor/color tweaks he can be improved like the plain Stampede Blazer design. After looking at Horned Grappler(HoGr), I think he's better in some ways than Doom Dozer, but Doom Dozer is a different kind of beetle, more suited to your Ladybug idea. I think if he existed, you could just take some paint to him and perhaps replace his legs with BoneCutter or the fictional HoGr parts. With all the pieces, I can probably make simple bashes out of the pieces I made for my designs, say Deep Assassin with a Fortress Masher head. As for the wings, Ii's a bit different for the HoGr back, I actually think I thought out his wing design better. Although it's a problem, because he isn't fully compatible with Doom Dozer's wing set up. I tried making out a drawing, I think I would need to make a physical mock up to be sure whether it works or not, but be my guest, and please share pictures if you do end up making something

Awesome work emummy. Stuff like this really keeps the spirit alive.
One question I have about your ideas for the sectoid line. Have you tried one based on a spider yet? A black widow or tarantula would make a good theme.

terrortula is on hold until I can think of an interesting body.... not sure if I want to bother right now. So funny that you ask Jimmy211, and thanks, cuz i just finished my spider concept. One more sectoid to go for now! Gloom Spinner comes with a webshield. The abdomen splits in half so you can use it as a backpack. If you can't tell it contains a spring loaded grappling hook on a string. The string winds up with a peg spool. The entire spool comes out, in case you break the string. It comes with a scythe, for Reaper bash fodder. ack, I forgot to make the bowl of curds and whey.... Tunnel Drone also has a special abdomen feature: a wind up motorized piece that will spin a piece pegged into the hole. That's all for now!

Man, you pretty much piss excellence (pardon my French). Totally digging the tunnel drone (no pun intended). It looks just like the red ants that my neighbor has a pest problem with. Anyways, I recently purchased a Hellboy novel from a nearby comic book store, and I have totally fallen in love with it, so I was wondering if you could make a Devil or Imp like design for one of your guys, perhaps an Unnatural or an Aracaster?. P.S. Still waiting on that Zombie.

The style Mike Mignola uses is awesome. I love how he contrasts a ton of dark color over a small amount of light color. Aside from the style of Jhonen Vasquez, I'd have to say Mignola's style is my other favorite.
