Hello World!

Hello and welcome to my blog, in which I'll be posting various concept pieces, models, etc that I have developed during Uni. First up, a concept piece I worked on for a while. Currently dubbed "Beastie", this is the concept art for an assignment, in which I'm to create a high-resolution 3D model of a mechanical or semi-mechanical creature.

I went with a burly reptilian creature (a favourite idea of mine) then thought about what parts would work best as mechanical pieces. From the initial outline, I decided the legs would be best for the assignment. So I developed a semi-humanoid shape and musculature, then built the multi-jointed mechanical legs. For details, I wanted to make sure the lumps on his back were prominent, as well as his oversized teeth. Then a standard grey for the robotic limbs, and a dull green skin for the creatures hide. Add a little shading, and presto; Beastie is complete!
