The Prototype Proximo Appears in Arena Rex
August 27, 2013 by dracs
In Arena Rex gladiators have far more to worry about than having to face simple beasts like lions, tigers or Russell Crowe. Now they must cower before the mighty monstrous form of Proximo!
Despite looking a bit like a bits box mash up you cannot deny that this Proximo prototype is certainly impressive, especially when you take into account that it is 100mm tall. That is quite a big monster to find yourself facing in the arena.
The one problem I might have with the sculpt as it is now is that the transition between the mammal body and reptilian does not look particularly smooth or believable, but this is most likely something which could be solved with a good paint job.
Still, I certainly wouldn't want to face it. As a great man once said, we who are about to die don't want to.

I believe the sculptor, Stéphane Nguyen, worked with whatever concept art he was given. The brief included that the beastie was part giraffe, so I think he did a great job with what he could. As an artist, he is used to making weirder creatures…
it pays the bills………………………………I hope.
Is it just me, or don’t its front legs work anatomically, bending in opposite ways?
You are correct from what I can see.
The right arm is arranged more like a human’s whereas the left is like that of a horse’s.
Not keen on the hairy chest. I would give it a jolly good waxing! lol
