Numenera campaign sidekick drone

DcPunk

Hey all

Been diddling with this drone for a little. We are playing a Numenera campaign with some friends and my character is a cybernetic nano (techno wizard) and has a companion drone. My roommate sketched up what the pair might look like and I took the idea and went with it.



I couldn't quite make sense of the innards behind the armor, and within the game it makes more sense for it to be a bit more found object looking so I did some of my own designing and then went into Maya for some fun screwing around.

My inspirations/references were jet engines



and here's a couple progressions up to what it looks like now

Early roughing out






what it looks like now:




Fishing for critiques on the design! I wasn't quite trying to go for full realism on the engineering but I did at least want it to look like it would work. They are a bit WIP shots so some stuff may not have the clean edges it will ultimately have.

Taking a step back before I go further to see what others might think

You've got some unique shapes working well together, but some of your edges are a bit too sharp and won't bake out well.

Alright,  so this is a pretty belated update. I probably should have finished doing what I was doing back in the original post, lol. Anyways, this is where I am at now after working on things when I could.



Fixed things, learned things, had fun. Now I continue on with it.
