New SHVI Archetype: Digital Bugs!

I like these guys. They’re bugs, they’ve got a nice, simple strategy, they’re bugs, they have a cool digital-motif and in case I forgot to mention it, they’re bugs (in more than one way!) Not people in bug suits, just bugs.

They seem to focus around using the smaller members to get out the Xyz, which cause a lot of things to happen that generally involve the opponent’s monsters getting knocked into defense mode and then losing said defense, making them easy pickings.

First Kaijus, then Moonlights, now this. I might actually have to pick up this game again.

Also, their boss is a giant beetle.

For people who are afraid of this insects or are experiencing an aversion to them, an artist from Geneva, presented a whole collection of bugs and spiders created using digital technology. Bright colors and precise imitation of the originals make the project very attractive to the users. Istvan, also known under the pseudonym Chaotic Atmosphere, recently presented his paper entitled Biotop of Polygonia.

It is a collection of simulated "digital" insects of are nearly 100 species. For his projects, the author used Cinema 4D. First Istvan created a framework (body, legs, wings) and then used some deformers to give a visual volume of insects. Processing in Photoshop was the final stage in its work.
