[WIP] Sentry drone

bystry

Hi guys, recently I've decided to start new small project. My goal is to improve my skills in scifi hartsurfacedesign and also 3D modeling skill. I've made this topic to keep myself motivated and to seek some help from more experienced 3D Artists and Animators. Feel free to comment and share your thoughts about every aspect of my workflow.

Ok, at this point I have couple  things established:

-main idea:

                    defensive quadropod, used in cities, not much power and offensive atributes, it is equipped with turret launcher. It can be support for infantry, equipped with scanner and communication tools

-actual concept and first blockout

-I used blockout to help myself refine back and covered parts still in progress

-references:

-an old design I started with for general overwiew:

I'm struggle with right now:

-If whole drone would be mobile enough with legs designed like that

-undershell equipment and mechanical details

Small update: Iveadded some colors  to shell and plates on legs. Now its blue but it can vary with time. I want whole process to be more organic and open for experiments

Hi, there is small update: I've refined blockout a little bit, worked on details an back site of drone.

Im getting bit closer, but there is so much left to do. Still Im not sure If this legs are animation friendly, but Ill try to figure it out.
