Finished Beetle.

Here are the final steps I took to finish my model of the Goliath Beetle.

First I capped off the bottom of my shell, and extruded the Beetles legs out from the bottom and gave them their basic shape.

Next, I finished the inside of the Beetles armored skull, so i could join it to the body as if it was a piece of armor. I did this buy cloning the top part of the head, scaling it down and then target welding it together, making a basic concave shape.

Now that the head was ready, I could fill in the Beetles body underneath the armour, so that the head was physically joined to the body.

Now that this was done, the only thing left to do was to add the detail to the legs, and give them a more organic shape, as if they were actually supporting the Beetles weight.

All that was left after this was to texture the model, which will be shown in a later post.
