The Gliporian

Another main character in Rechlen and Aves is the Gliporian, or "Glip", as Rechlen calls it. It functions as a kind of shape shifting, living holding cell, capable of containing the creatures that the team tries to trap. The Glip is a big part of the Delphi crew, even if it doesn't have much to say. Oh, and it does not get along with the OS Buildman Gendrones.

Also included in tonight's post is a little point of interest to those of you who may have the old Rechlen and Aves photo book. The strange white room in the pics above are from an unfinished set that I was working on while making the original book. I never got around to completing it as I cut the "Rec-Room" section from the final version. This area served as the spot where Rechlen could watch the games he loved to gamble on and just kick back.

  2. Still lovin' the 3" Glip sculpt. Out of curiosity, why does the Glip take that form, either story-wise or sculpt-wise?

  3. These shots are awesome. The two pics of Rechlen in the unfinished room have a very spacey Anasazi/Adobe desert dwelling feel to them.

  4. The Glip takes the form of a humanoid to feel a connection to the crew it runs with. Sometimes it will mimic creatures it has encountered or captured when it sees fit. Like a Super Adaptoid/Mimic/Barbapapa type character who is capable of pretty wild things. The true form of the Glip remains to be seen.
