May we post pictures if we find it hard to explain? becuase I cannot explain atall well.

sure go ahead, in fact thats what i was planning all along

Well that picture is fine in my opinion, I would go ahead and make that becuase I cant draw a better idea.

You'll wanna beef up the body, but it's pretty good.

Well, I think to achieve a 'spider' you need to take the crab and make it HUEG and then make it metal... then change it into the same type of actor as a dreadnought or droid and give it some weapons. (If I may recommend some weapons, a heavy machine gun and missile launcher would be nice, sorta like the Stalkers in Resistance: Fall Of Man)

updated version; now with mini LPSC turret, and shading

P.S. I already know ragdoll
[edit] i plan on giving it the ability to jump like the koveskan raptor made by "no_one"
[edit2] feel free to help if you want

All I can do to help is cheer you on cuz you've got a great design and concept. :thumbsup:

Looks pretty good, maybe you could give it a mouth-mounted flamethrower.

if it's an acrab, it can either jump or have a flamethrower, one of the two if he's already going to have a turret on it. What he can do is make one flamethrower one and one turreted one that both jump.

It should have the head as a weapon that opens it mouth to fire (flamethrower)

i thought of that robolee, but when i drew it with it's mouth open it looked retarded. besides, a flamethrower doesn't really fit my art style.

P.S. i have a sprite of the the leg if anyone has like photoshop or something could they edit it to add the other frames for it, no need to shade it or anything, because there's a certain way I like my shading done. the black part is a hinge.
[edit] the gun sprite's finished

I meant it "breaths" fire, not has a flame-thrower on the back.

Yeah, dragony.

Didn't you read his post? He knows that, but he doesn't want to because the dragon sprite looks weird with the mouth open.
