Description
here is a maquette or sculpture that I did freehandits taken about 5 hours to do so far, and I am about 80 percent done.
this is a tracker capable of running on low amounts of energy over long distances
isolated beam e.m.p. for a gun with optional aluminum ballistic rounds
light armor. capable of taking small arms fire
multiple high res lenses for infared, night, and standard vision
emotionless but unrelenting tracker/killer

Very nice work. Your grasp on real world concepts and the ability to put them in your art is superb. look forward to seeing lots of cool scifi stuff from you. YAHHH!!!!
IF you ever want to collaborate on 1:1 scale sculptures/costumes, give me a buzz. Would love to work with someone with your talent.

Hey hey! Alrighty... let's see...
Thie is a pretty good design so far; I really like the exaggeration of the small waist and and the details you have on the gun, particularly the elbow joint. I could almost see this as being an articulated action figure. I feel as though this could go one of two ways: Either sharp and edgey like an Aeon Flux sort of design, or round and bublous, like a Mega Man X sort of design. You might want to push it in one direction or the other. ^_^
One thing that stands out to me is that it still feels organic and hand-made. This is because the various segments you used for the armor/exoskeleton have a lot of inconsistencies, like fingerprints and bumps and objects that should be rigid, like the bolts in the chest, curve around the form of the robot. If you have a small loop tool, I would suggest that you get in there and smooth/sharpen those shapes on the surface and clean the joints. After that, use a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol with a soft brush or your finger to burnish away some of the last bumps and the like. If you don't have fancy-schmancy sculpting tools, even trimming some of the excess clay with an X-acto or working this with a toothpick would really help to sharpen it up lots.
I'll keep an eye out for the next installment of this guy, thanks so much for thinking of me for a crit. ^___^
And no, it's not cold here yet; it's actually that *perfect* Indian Summer weather. Ask me again in a month when I am scraping frost off of my windshied...

thanks Steph!
hey your name is one of those word where it stops making sense if you say it 4 or 5 times
well lets see, thanks for the tips, they are really helping so far. I would have never known about the alcohol, it works awesome for removing bumps and things without displacing a bunch of clay
I got some tools, including these silicon things called clay shpers, they rock if you have never tried em
I think I am going for more of a sharp edge style for this guy.
what would you recommend for painting this dude?
thanks again for your help, it was killer of you

Oh, one other thing; the posture checks out as ok so far. It looks a *little* like he isn't carrying much weight in the frontal pose, but that could just be the angle. If you could, take a good profile shot of him to show were his feet are planted
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I added a little bit more forward direction to him, but I made sure his center of gravity works out and his feet are shoulder width apart.. I'll make sure to post some profile pics of him before the firing
