Starcraft 2 Mechanical Arm

I've wanted to take a stab at making this concept for awhile. I love the cinematic that it was a part of, and I want to do some hard surface work for a change.

So, it's still very early on, but I thought I'd go ahead and post a quick render. I'm trying to hold off on doing much detailing, because I plan to do as much of this as possible in Zbrush. I've also got some areas around the hands I need to finish adding in cords, hydraulic supports, and a few other areas in what I am showing that I don't know exactly what I'm going to put in there right now, so there's just some rougher place holder geo right now. Let me know what you think.

Looks good! Im curious what kind of detailing you're talking about that you will do in zbrush.

_Erik: Thanks! I haven't done much in terms of hard surface stuff with Zbrush, but I've seen several guys use it for creating panels, various inset surfaces, screws, etc. I'm going to be using Zbrush for hard surface for the first time, so it will be a bit of an adventure.

Judd Roy: Thanks, bud!

A little bit of an update. I'm trying to block in the rest of the body, but those "hands" are really bugging me. I need to finish the lower appendage and how it connects.
