This is a concept from 2007 but I never had gotten around to painting it.

The 'borer' is exclusively used by the megacorporation URSYN as an area denial and anti insurgency weapon; thousands may be seeded in key areas whereupon they can lie dormant for months.

Borers are activated when a person or unlucky animal steps on it; the borer will rapidly tunnel up the flesh of the victim and attempt to detonate in the cranium. Even in the event that it doesn't reach the head; the borer can cause debilitating damage from the tunneling alone and is a potent psychological weapon.


Some will easily recognize parasitic worms as the borer's source of inspiration.

I like the concept, especially the psychological warfare effect.

try blender; it's free (legally too!) and even though it's free it still has the power to measure up with stuff like 3ds max, maya, etc.

spawning an object, adding a few layers of multi-res, and going to the sculpt tools is really easy and very addicting.
