More Kapre design concepts. The Kapre is a creature of Philippine mythology, best describe as a tree demon or a tree troll. It looks much like the North American Bigfoot, but with more human characteristics. They are believed to be always smoking a large, trunk-like cigar. Read more about it here: http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Kapre
Attire is based on Igorot people, a collective term for the ethnic groups who are indigenous Austronesian inhabitants of provinces located in Noth Luzon, Philippines.  

The word “Igorot” is archaic Tagalog for “mountain people”. It is derived from the prefix ‘i-’ (“dweller of”) and ‘golot’ (“mountain range”).

Motorcity!Gab Car: War Hog
My Motorcity car! I love how the Burners’ cars are named and fashioned after living organic creatures (dog, cat, bull, monkey? and the Sasquatch), so  I’m calling mine “War Hog”. Its name and design is inspired by the warthog, the badassest member of the pig family ever (see: Pumbaa). Not entirely happy with its design yet, but it’s a concept. I’ll try to fix it up until it’s cool enough to ride with The Burners. 
Weapons!
It uses its front surface + tusks to grip enemy cars from under, and its Heavy Duty Hind Legs™ to fling the car away. It can also deploy stinky smoke screens, release through its grilles. (Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!)
How do I shot industrial/automotive design? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Made a sketch of myself as character from Motorcity. Whenever I reimagine myself as a fantasy character, I always see myself as that guy who wields the over-sized heavy weapons, like axes and maces (and occasionally 2-handed swords). Seems appropriate for my build.

Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I’m serious, that’s what it says: “A horrible person.” We weren’t even testing for that.

human!GLaDOS character design. Did anyone else notice that she looked like a woman all tied up, and dangling from the ceiling? Or was that an obvious thing?
