Well from what I see in the mechanical-flesh challenge so far is everyone for the most part is doing a cyborg type character. So im playing around with a idea of using a small animal as a spy tool. First animal I've been playing around with is a tree frog.

I know he's not quite right as far as looks it was off the top of my head with out looking at reference to get the idea on paper. Will do one with ref maybe tomorrow.

Let me know what you all think.

Kurt that's a kick ass drawing! I really really like it! Much better than a chick in a metal bikini with a gun and cyborg parts! I can imagine this guy photoreal and sitting a nice leaf or something. It could be really cool.
