balrock mech concept

[nightoftheroundtable]

hey there everybody. I have has some spare time. I have decided to try my hand at making mech design. I also spent some time with the dreadnaught movie tutorial. its pretty nice setup.


anyways here is my Blarock mech Work in Progress. I just started on the toe of the mech so far. I will be working more later on and post updates here

this is perspective veiw of the toe



here is the top veiw.



anyways hope you guys like it. more detail will come later on

[eliminater]

not so much to critic atm, keep it up

Keep working man. Like eliminater said not much to crit on. However I am curious, are you modelling this "on the fly", or have you cooked up some comcept sketches, if so post the sketches, then we have a good visual to crit your work with.

Anyway keep modelling, and posting.

actually I dont really draw much. lol I am pretty horrible when it comes to drawing. this is on the fly pretty much. but what I can tell you is that this project is somewhat derived from the dreadnaught movie tut and also from something else entirely different. but I am throwing in my ideas to make it more uniqe. call me crasy cause no one can probably give critism cause of no scetch or reference. but this is kinda how I model.

another good reason as to why I model on the fly is that there is so much I could do to make the model different in a uniqe perspective.

okay here is some updated progress on my balrock mech hope you guys like the progress so far.




anyways thats what the ankel is going to look like. more detail and progress yet to come.

hey there I have my foot for the Balrock mech is complete. anyways I wouldn't say this project looks like the dreadnaught. true it was derived from it but I am trying to add my own creativity to it.

anyways hope you guys enjoy.

It's coming along now. The thing that is bothering me is, where the toes meet the ankles it's too thin, I could see the toes snapping off during battle. Keep going

[nightoftheroundtable]

I have often thought about the toe area. I never saw the toe tutorial for the dreadnaught. lol. so I just made that at random.


is there a way I could reinforce that area to make it stronger and more durable?

this mech is going to be used as a long ranged weapon anyway. but even if it where to get into battle it could vary well snap off. hmmmmm. I will fix that area in the mean time I am glad to see some responses to the mech. there will definatly be more improments along the way.

[nightoftheroundtable]

I got more updates yay.

here is some updates that I have done for the Balrock.

1. I have added some hips to the ankel to make it look more complete.

2. I have also added a temeporary pelvis area for the mech so that it can have free rotation.

anyway here is my updated progress.

hey there. sorry for my lack of posting around here.(lol)

I have been stuck working on two other projets besides the balrock I believe that I have finally gotton some where. I scrapped the old pelvic design and made a brand new one that is easier for me to create the body.

enjoy.
