This is my first attempt at doing a redesign of a mech. Always wanted to have a go at redesigning a mech, but was let down by my bad drawing, so decided to make this one by using blender to make a fairly low poly basic model to get some ideas together on what I wanted it too look like, then applying colour and decals using GIMP. Tried to go for a look so that it looks more drawn that digitally modelled, and chucked it on the background used by PGI. The part I am least happy with is the legs.

Next, I am probably going to get more details on the actual model, texture it, rig it and animate it, and also make a cockpit maybe.

First one is in a Steiner paint scheme:

Pretty nice. Wish I could do that with blender.

About the only 2 "things" I think look a little off, is the torso seems kinda flat ( deeper might look cool) and short compared to the legs, to me, an the cockpit sitting high like that makes me think of old Manga or Ultraman robots.

That said, nits picked, etc, bang up job!

Nice mech, I like it. it reminds me a lot of another mech that Fasa made back in the day though.

Not that that's bad, only that it's real similar.

Nice work dude, definitely has a MWO feel to it, only thing I would say is the head of the 'Mech looks a bit off, and the torso does seem a bit flat as Bishop stated. Incorporate the head more into the torso contour and make the torso stick out a bit more... otherwise nicely done so far!

Now if only I could 3d model things I could join the club of artists here cause my skills in drawing pics has diminished over the years.

Have played around with the front of the mech and the side torso. Now he has a bit more at the front and I have played with the shape of the torso. Did not spend much time colouring it this time though.




Is this better than the previous one?

Also, thanks for the suggestions

Better. Looks a lot more in line and a lot more aggressive.
