In response to comments and ideas. I sketched this idea. I was advised to do like a hive so I made as if it was stuck to a vertical surface with pseudo-legs glued or stock on a surface.

I like it!

For consistency with other models, the hive should have some slightly head-ish ending (cf. the trapper and the acid tube). I guess the idea is that the alien buildables were creatures once and evolved into an immobile form but still have some traces of their former form left (such as eyes, teeth, legs).

Responsible for: Arch Linux package & torrent distribution, Parpax (map), Chameleon (map texture editor), Sloth (material file generator), gameplay design & programming, artistic direction

I'm glad you like my work. I try to be efficient since I'd like to work as a professional eventually.

Feel free to put everything you make for us on your portfolio!

Also, once you finish the hive, what are you interested in next? The booster, barricade, or drill?

I sure will. It'll be a great addition to my portfolio to have work on a real project.

Today I was away from my place so I couldn't work much. I'll work a bit this evening but I can start working on the drill next.
