I started! user added image

Here's where i'm at. My cyber dog will have a wheel at the back at two legs at the front and it's head comes from under it body - yeah i know, sounds weird, you'll soon see user added image

Just one problem. I wanted the corner of the hole in it's body rounded. I tried using bevel and it was all weird, any other ideas?

Feel free to chuck any ideas abou the model at me user added image

oh, and btw, those legs are just there for refrence, i'm currently thinking of their design.

Here an update of the leg. I'm gonna do the basic shape of the whole cyberdog before i get into super detail mode user added image

. The current look will be compleatly diffrent once the texture and detail have been added.

I still haven finished the joint of the of the lower leg 2 foot. I'm not quite happy with the current joint so any ideas on a joint that'll fit with the current look are welcom user added image

oh, and btw, the ball on the end of the tail will stay cos i'll add the laser above the body. There will be a flap door on the top of the body and the laser will sit in there.

An update:

Added spokers in the body that will connect the legs. I made the back wheel into a ball that can move in any direction. I originally made a proper wheel but i like the ball wheel idea better.
