IDW # 220 : Many Legged Cliff Climber

[Pixie Trick]

Topic: Many Legged Cliff Climber
Deadline: Sunday, November 25

Imagine a Grand Canyon-esque landscape. This object is designed to carry passengers up, down and along sheer cliffs using a number of legs.

Brief:
1. Design and draw a Many Legged Cliff Climber.
2. That's it... now draw!

Howdy CA! Always wanted to post here. But everytime I've been intimidated by the hard-working and skillful artists. x)

Hope you don't mind the quick sketch but I'm calling dibs on generic walkers today.

Biscuitfist: welcome, i see you had a similar idea as me using a gyro to keep the passengers steady! its great.

my current train wreck, i think im gonna try move away from the spider design and try to do something like a centipede . . . .

Im going with the idea of one, two, many.

blocking in the idea in sketchup

DStraX: thanks for the vid, nice 3d model! Makes me wonder about speed, but i guess you could go crazy with multiple carriages linked in a chain.

i guess i'll go with the centipede idea instead. . .

This is my first idea
Quite far out of my confort zone. Havn't done much ID before. And Lineart isn't my strong suit. But I feel its good practice.
Unfortunately, "sheer" didn't mean what I thought it meanth, so not sure if this fits the theme well enough.

Those microspine-thingies are soo cool. Thanks for the tip!
