CYBORG PREDATOR
NINJA MECH ARMOR
Timed gesture and anatomy studies #1
Original concept. Inspired by the alien in Predator and the Elites in Halo. Wanted to depict a ravenous beast of some sort that is tamed with technology.
1. Started with quick sketch and value pass.
2. Corrected shapes for better readability and design. Also changed perspective. He is looking over his shoulder now.
3. Applied colours and re-rendered some areas - but didn't like the direction it was going.
4. Reworked the design.
5. More rendering. Applied some textures to add some grit.
6. Added final details.

BELLY HOG-BOT
Original concept. Set out to create a 'silly' robot and inspired by Baymax from Big Hero 6. Wanted to stylize it to look like a boss from the world of MapleStory. Referenced MapleStory illustrations to achieve the same feel.
1. Started with quick sketch
2. Skipped value and went straight to colours. Quick render of form and some shadows
3. Increased the contrast and adjusted colours. At this point, it looked too much like baymax. Realized the eyes looked like nostrils. Changed concept into an armored big.
4. Added texture and more rendering
5. Added final details.
