PETROL/BLOOD - Mrandk

Mrandk

Hello all!

Gonna try this out, hoping to actually finish a contest for once.

Latest Update:
I DEED IT. It's been one hell of a two days. but i can finally rest...

EDIT: DOH! i forgot to put my texture breakdowns in the final submission thread. hopefully someone see em here!

Mrandk

Drawing inspiration from anime/manga from Otomo Katsuhiro, Tatsuyuki Tanaka and others.



Want to have a robot biker pilot, some exploration sketches for the bot.



Huge thanks to my talented girlfriend who has helped tremendously in fleshing out the concepts, I greatly appreciate it. Check out her work at cannedsweetpeas.blogspot.com





Will probably be going forward with the blue thin guy on the left with the hoverbike. Will also be pulling inspiration when getting into the mechanics of it from my ref and sketches. Gonna try and move fast since I've started late, Got the week off so I'm gonna try and power through it.

Cheers!

Awesome start man. Love the style.

POFFINGTON

SOOOOOOON! So excited to see this get worked on.

Mrandk

Thanks guys!

Lunch crunch!
WIP of my rough zbrush blockout to hammer out the shapes/proportions. I will retopo this to define the edges, panels, and mechanical bits when I've got it all sorted.

botchiball

Still chugging along, still pretty rough. Hoping to have this mainly blocked out by the end of today so I can clean it tomorrow.

BagelHero

Whoa. Loving the direction this is going in, keep it up!

electric_sandal

the hype is real

Mrandk

More progress. Cleaned up as I went. Hands and cloak are left.

This totally reminds me of machinarium. Robots with lots of personality same as this one.

Daew

This is looking pretty sweet . I do think though that the legs might be too detailed relative to the body. My eyes keep going to the legs instead of the face. Also i think the original legs in the concept are adorable because they were skinnier

Mrandk

@Daew Thanks for the crit!I simplified the thighs and thinned em down as well as removing all of that noisy paneling from the lower leg. Hows this?

Finished the rider high-poly. Gonna make the low next.

Mrandk

I'm not dead I swear! Started a new job so time has been limited. Finished the low poly and baked it down. sitting at around 16k tris Finally getting into Ddo (Its super sloppy, sorry Ill hopefully have it more final tomorrow!)

Mrandk

Have to call the texture on this guy done for now and move on to the vehicle or ill never finish in time. Ill handle the transparency for his visor and polish up after I get the vehicle to at least this point. Go Go Go.

Mrandk

Pulled allnighter, 15 hours to go. lowpoly done with UV's. Character is posed as well ill show that when i get my final shots though. gonna try and knock out the high in the next few hours so i can use most of my remaining time in ddo and marmoset. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Geno527

Good luck ! I love the style, I really want to see how it will end ^^.

Mrandk

Thanks dude! gonna try my hardest to get this in by the deadline. roughly 10 hours left. highpoly is as done as its gonna be with how much time i have left. i wanna save the bulk of my time for texturing and cleanup/polish. now to bake it...

EarthQuake

Go go go! Good luck dude!

Mrandk

baked and am now texturing at this very moment

Suba

I love the color of that robot !

Mrandk

I DEED IT. It's been one hell of a two days. but i can finally rest...

turbinea

JeanValjean

audi100
