Blitzcrank model

Nerfmy3d

Hello!

I've been a lurker and admirer of you all great artist for a long time.
I try to get out of my comfortzone and this is the first time i've showed somone my work.

I really want to be a better artist and this is a big step for me.

My goals right now are to learn hardsurafe modeling and substance painter and I would love to get as much feedback as possible

So, to my work. I'm working on a blitzcrank model from the game League of Legends. This is the highpolly version.

I think my model is way to symmetric and there is noting "interesting" going on.
I know for a fact that my "rockets/chimneys" need to be larger. I might enlarge my legs also,

One of my big weakness is to design new cool stuff, I just browse the internet and try to find cool stuf and then fit them into my model

This is my biggest inspirational-picture: http://lolwp.com/wp-content/uploads/SteamGolem_Splash1_1.jpg

How can I make this model "stand out" and become interestin?

Thanks in advance for all help. I think you all rock!

Looking good so far in my opinion. Not sure if it really feels like Blitzcrank though. Since he has the ability to fire one of his hands at an enemy, maybe you should make one arm bigger than the other or something. Just something to indicate a firing mechanism.

Also, the original Blitz has gigantic hands while yours has relatively small ones... Maybe some bigger hands overall would make him more recognizable.

Here's something you can use for size reference.

Really loving this. Model looks very clean and you chose a very cool concept.

My feedback would be that he is very top heavy and the face is maybe too hidden. It might help to reduce the size of the wrists.

looking forward to see more.

I like it! But like bummer said the thing that makes Blitz stand out to me is his giant hands. I would focus on making his hands a lot bigger so that his clenched fist is just as big, if not bigger than his wrist area.

Thank you! Totalt agree that the hands are to small. I will make some changes in the week.
Any detail recommendations that I can add?
I think i'll add some more tubes and a heater-meter of some sort.

Looks good!
agree with the rest, hand are really small, also he might be a bit short and chubby? especially if you look at the image you linked yourself. you have these box-thingies where his legs meet the hips thats kinda wierding me out I dont see them in the original design.

Are you gonna take him into zbrush and do some battle damage on him later?

What do you think about my new improved legs?

Anyone have any good ide or design on robot hands?

looking good, I like then new leg, I think you should remove the box thing on his hip though, showing more of the detail in the leg.

also, if you want inspiration for the hands or other parts for that matter, you should check out this crazy thread by lonewolf
