The controlling Queen can manipulate the Rhino Swarm Fighting Machine with the two controllers and at the same time use her Neutrino cannon with devastating effect.
Repousséd into the copper platform is the god beetle as well as a copper mantra interface to guide all the war spirits of the Swarm species.
On the end sits the Rear Gunner, in the middle is the Controlling Queen and in the front is the Beetle Beast.
The two spitting snakes are also used in close combat and protect the Beetle Beast.
The Beetle Beast works in conjunction with the Queen and the spitting snakes in crippling accuracy.
The snakes are also allied to the eves, and are thus able to see through the entire radio magnetic spectrum, from infra red to gamma rays.
I wanted to make a war machine using a rhinoceros beetle Dynastinae as my design inspiration.
As with every project, I have ever done, from idea to the end result, everything evolves and changes.
I have learned to scrap any avenue of design and change direction without a single worry if I don't like that direction. This often means that I make things that are discarded and remade in a different form.
I save those old made pieces and sometimes incorporate them in new projects.
