Helicopter with robotic legs

EmAr

I started this one today. I'll put more effort into the concept but this is basically what it will be:





C&C is more than appreciated

if you rotate the model around 180 degrees it looks like a mix between a praying mantis and a beetle, the the tail as a head. Just something to pay attention to, you don't want people seeing a bug too much.

Reminds me of a mosquito.

Having it obviously bug-like isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just depends on what you want to achieve in terms of feel.

I did a quick paintover with some leg and tail changes that I think make the whole design somewhat more dynamic. Hope it helps.

I like the idea of this, looks good so far.

Maybe you could have the whole body be able to rotate kind of like a turret on top of the legs. That way it will be able to maneuver and turn to acquire targets more easily. Just a thought.

Thanks for all the suggestions

dfacto, that's more than helpful. Thank you very much! Here's an update with new legs and some weapons:

looking way better than the first one
but i would make a concept for the legs (how do they work?)

right now they look as if they are just some boxed glued together with no function

Stop working on making it high poly and get the basic body nailed down first. your make it really hard on your self if you need to change something in the future (i.e. the nose) finish the tail, finish the legs, and rework from the cockpit forward to better match the concept.

EmAr

You're right guys, I make this mistake all the time. Thanks for pointing it out.

It looks like a frog with wings and smoking.
