Griff, Coby, and the FRIEND-SHAPED™ ORB

LE-0! LE-0! LE-0! LE-0! GOD DAMNIT! - Captain Clayton Vice

A cute little friend-shaped orb that I made for Griff and Coby's epilogue scene, meet LE-0! (Land Exploration Rover Mark Zero) He may look small, but little guy knows how to traverse some wicked harsh terrain and hold his own! He'll be teaming up with the lads at the end of Stellar Surf Part Two, and into Stellar Surf: Elysium next year :D

I will be away until the 23rd visiting family in the UK (long overdue), but have some SWEET new renders ready for you guys once I come back ;)

LORE DUMP BELOW for those who care about the little guy ;)

Assigned to Captain Clayton Vice by his commanding officer during his tenure as a FARMA scout pilot early in his career, LE-0 (Land Exploration Rover Mark Zero) initially came to much of the scorn of his station. Deemed unimpressive and small, Clayton was envious of his fellow military members having access to more powerful looking drones and software. His CO reminded him that the "best things in life come in small packages", not informing Clayton that LE-0 was indeed a prototype of a much more clandestine scout drone model, sacrificing raw military power for a diminutive frame and incredible sensors. Over time, with many surprising successes, Clayton eventually took LE-0 to heart and deemed him more than capable at traversing both uneasy terrain, and a charming personality core. Even with offers of more powerful military-oriented "standard" drones as he was promoted, Clayton kept him in service after growing attached. Several years of personal tinkering at Clayton's behest outfitted LE-0 into rivalling any of his modern peers in the current FARMA exploration drone rotation, notwithstanding his nostalgia for his pilot era.

Entrusting LE-0 as a backup for Griff and Cobalt, should anything go awry with their mission (BIG SURPRISE), Clayton emplaced him in a satellite drone care package for the two to help assist their land survey operations.
