Yes why not, I could use some help [a href=" "] [/a] there's two ways of doing this . on the right is the quickest.first define where your light is comming from no1 use a smudgey pencil, no2 get a sharpe edged rubber and mark out the vein. no3 put shadows on opposite side to light,it sounds easy /obvious but you wouldn't believe the times i 've forgot ;D no4 redo the smudgey bit darker on one side than the other,on the light side you can define how thin/thick you want your vein by shading into the same hue...?? does that make sense Daz? the left is basically the same without the smudgy bit ;D it's basically trail and error but don't be too harsh on yourself if it doesn't work as a lot of detail will be lost via the scanning proceess,and as long as it's only an impression of vein you've done what you set out to achieve ;Dbear in mind this is ''blown' up approxamatley three times it's original size i'll probably be taking this picture off soon as i'm using my photobucket allocation up

I think I would do it like you have on the left side, as it kinda speaks to me if you will, and yes it makes perfect sense.

Sorry about not comming around to my own thread for a while; I have been very busy resently. I have copied down a few more sketches for you Dazo, hoping it will help you with your work. They look okay in thumbnails but don't be fooled . Here is my folder in Photobucket: photobucket.com/albums/v620/RascalLeader/The%20Chyvar/ Again the weapons are terrible designs but creating them for the Chy'var is hell. I did have another one I liked better but its disappeered completly. The problem is the grip of course since the Chy'var don't have a usal humanoid shape to fall back on. Currently I am thinking that they could have a sort of rifle along the lines of the third thumbnail but has two trigger grips and two side handles so that it uses up the arms they have. That would mean that they would hold so its resting on their 'chest'. The side picture of the Chy'var itself is wrongly proportioned but its the best I can do I'm afraid. The 'legs' are way too thick and the body is perhaps a bit bigger then I imagined. The one on legs, I think i sent to you, is the bio droid, with the lasher arm attachments. I still quite like to use them instead of the blades for them (reserving those weapons for the Real Chy'var) but I now want to add guns to one of the other set.
