[Riot 2017 Contest] Mecha Malphite Illustration

reckzilla

Hey all! My name is Morrissey Alexander I will be aiming to do a more Pacific Rim and detailed Mecha Malphite Illustration. Malphite was the first champion I played in League all of those fateful years ago! And I really enjoy cool mechs and I could tell from the splash that mecha malphite was intended to a Pacific Rim inspired piece so I wanted to try to push that identity some more! My piece will consist of a High poly modeled Mecha Malphite redesigned based on Gundam, ZOIDs, and Pacific Rim and I wanted it either show off Malphites Brutal Strikes or Ground Slam action frame. 

Here are some of my core refs for the detailing and texturing phase:






I will make a block out of the model based on the in game model and then spend a huge chunk of time detailing and redesigning piece by piece until I complete the whole model and then refine and polish details then texturing and environment building and rendering. Hoping to finish this and have a really nice portfolio piece!

Thanks for viewing!

Updates! Finished the modeling for the initial block out and made some initial tweaks. Going to find out exactly how I plan to break everything down once I catch up with work work.

Good design since now , just wondering if  your final illustration will be in 2D or 3D ?!
i'm curios about the next step and choice you will make . have fun dude

Thanks. It will be mostly 3D, I am planning for when it is done for it to like 70% 3D 30% 2D so some heavy post work after 3D is done.
