Sketchbook: Nihilus

Nihilus

Currently working on a large-ish project for a module at Uni atm.

That cage totally ruins the size of your bot!

You also have quite some potential in the bot designwise. I think there is too much detail overall. My eyes have no place to really rest. There seems to be quite equal detail everywhere. Some larger areas without stuff around the face would've been great. To counter that you could have put a lot more detail in the face and mouth area, if existing Varying levels of detail can make a lot of difference!

This is the last render I've got of this guy, I have other modules I need to focus on for university. So he's pretty much done as it stands. Going to take everything I've learned while working on this guy over to my new projects.

Looks immense! Much prefer this colour scheme over the previous renders, a lot of detail packed in there

Nihilus

Thank you
Yeah I think that's the main thing I've learned here is to vary the density of the details a lot more in accordance with the design.

Nihilus

Some better renders of the mech and also some WIP images of the concept for my next project. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
