R.I.P. (Laputa Robot)

Have you seen Ghibli's 'Laputa - Castle In The Sky'? Of course you do!

The robot character in Laputa is one of my favorite robot characters and it was one of the first things I tried to model, when I started to learn 3D! Just look at that... :poly124:



I'm gonna try to recreate my favorite robot character after almost 12 years!

First Update
Texture is temporary

you should get some more references for the robot since your design lacks a lot of strength of the original characters silhouette

look how your feet are very static and blocky when the original laputa has curves everywhere and is very bouncy and dynamic



also recheck the proportions and dont yet get into detailing before youre not super convinced and nailed the silhoette and blockout... reference is key!

@skodone:
Hey man, really appreciate your comment.

I should have mentioned this in first post, but I forgot.
I'm making this based on the robot statue at Ghibli Museum.
Here's a pic:

You are doing a very precise job!
Are you going to bend and buckle the panels a little in a sculpt program?

Great work.

Thanks man.
I actually do. but I'm going to do the whole object first, and add small details, bumps and bends later in ZBrush
