Happy are the problems that have simple solutions, better yet, the problems that solve themselves.

This model is almost finished. Tonight should see it ready for rigging. This is "BEAST". Beast is the ride for a Sci-Fi character, THE SENTINEL, that I ginned up years ago when I was drawing comics. The Sentinel is a battle-weary casualty who is now more mech. replacement parts than human. Because he's no longer fit for combat against 'The Kraiiti', a slimey, vicious alien race whose battle fleets can appear from nowhere, The Sentinel is posted to a spitball on the edge of space. He has only one function: patrol his rounds and hit the big red alarm button if he sees anything. He receives food and parts from a tele-port chute, but he gets no communications, no new orders, and worst of all: no mail. He broods on this. The war could be over. How would he know? Would they really fail to tell him? Probably not, but what if his side has lost?

The task at hand is get Beast to walk well, over a Carrara 4 terrain, and lip-sync some dialog to the Sentinel. Hopefully, enough good looking shots can be done to make a six minute cartoon.
