R.E.M. Initial character concept - 2005

Originally designed as a sort of Virus-like, self-building composite creature for the Guardian, this being is suppose to be an artificial intelligence that became self aware, slowly building upon its body by assimilating into itself other devices. The concept's sound, and if I ever get more done on the series I'll probably use it, but there are certain elements of this design that look great but probably won't work for the story idea I had. Even if I do decide to use the design, I figured I might as well share it with everyone.
