Not sure what to classify this as... All I know is no human being could possibly fit their legs and arms properly inside of it, unless the dome thing is the cockpit and it's a big mech. Anyways, it's astronaut themed. I tried to capture the essence of bulkiness and pudgy fingers/feet. No direct reference or concept, just pictures of astronauts (and Starcraft )!
Special thanks to Mike Jenson for all the awesome tips!
Modeled over about a weeks time, split up over several weeks.
I don't have any plans of rigging, texturing, or using it in animations. If you want to try and retopo, texture, rig it whatever, just ask, I'll send you a hi-res and decimated version to work on.
Rendered in Blender Cycles 2.61 1000 samples, did it with 3 gigs of ram, so couldn't go quite as detailed as I'd like
Looking good man! I really love the forms! It really gives me that top heavy feeling similar to a big daddy from bioshock (Same perceptual mass feeling but different forms). Great renders as well
Awsome work!! Sure if you would like, Id love to take that model and retopo it, throw it into zbrush for epic sculpt and texture!!! Hit me up and we could do a colab!
