WIP Character | Little Retro Robot

<sub><em>Why can't I hold all these projects?!</em></sub></p></center>
<p><br></p>
<p>4 projects. Yes, working on 4 projects at once may or may not be the best thing to do, but that's my current state of mind: too inspired to contain my imagination, too slow to work on all of them. Not to mention the number of unfinished characters waiting patiently for me to continue working on them. Oh, poor mesh!&nbsp;</p>
<p>All this works but somehow I still managed to write some reviews of some games I played months ago. I wish I have time to play Moonlighter since it's currently free on Epic Store and that game is on my wishlist for a while now and write a review of it, but it has to wait. So yeah, you can probably expect some game reviews from me in the future. But for now, I'll share this clay rendered character with you.</p>

<p>Can't remember what inspired me to create this little tv-headed robot character, but I really like the idea. The only thing I remember is that I wanted to make this character to look retro rather than sleek futuristic style. Hopefully it will once it's textured.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As you can see, this is a clay render, meaning it has no texture but still rendered properly for beauty shot with proper lighting. Though, my lighting may not be that "beauty", but, oh well.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway!<br>
This beauty shot clay render thing is inspired by some of Julien Kaspar's work. He's a 3d artist who works in Blender Animation Studio. Not only that, I also got indirectly suggested by a fellow Steemian, @theartofori who said that a great model doesn't need textures. So I tried to render that way with this one and I kinda like it. I guess I should thank you for that!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now all my unfinished characters can at least be rendered nicely while they wait for their turn for the <strong>texture painting </strong>process. Yaaay!</p>

<p>This bot is called Cyan, as in, the colour cyan. I'm thinking of making a series about similar tv-headed bot characters each with their own quirks and unique appearance influenced by the RGB colour model. This first one is cyan is simply because it's one of my favourite colour--after black + gold. The next one is going to be his partner, a female bot with violet colour scheme, and her name would be...well, Violet. I'm so good at naming things I should get paid for it...</p>
<p>For now, that's what I have to share. I'll post my other characters once they're at least reach the clay render-worthy stage like this one. Next is probably going to be this fantasy, spider-y assassin-y character I'm making for a certain spider around here.&nbsp;</p>

Ahh he(?) is adorable with the little blender logos. So of course I’m totally unsurprised that the next shot is toting a gun because it’s always the cute ones you have to watch 🤣 did you make the gun too? They’re both pretty good models 🙃

Looking forward to the others and seeing how they travel from now through to completion. And don’t sweat about taking ages, you’ll get quicker at whatever you can be quicker on and some things just take ages 🙃

Mhm, I make everything. I'm glad you think they're good, Ry ^^ I had to actually study how a revolver work and look like in order to create one.

And yeah, he can't be persuaded with sweets, he prefer ammo. And if someone don't give him any he won't beg for it, he'll pull out his gun and make them beg for their life XD

I'm looking forward to seeing them finished too, especially your character, the Mysterious 3. Thanks for the advice, Ry. I'll try to ease up my mind with that thought because it's kinda hard to relax and take it easy, not sure why...

I remember doing that with guns as well though it's been a while since I made one XD

I suspect the difficulty with relaxing and taking it easy and accepting that sometimes things just take as long as they're going to take is because of pressure to perform (even if the pressure is all in our heads).  That's just something else to get over ;D

Nailed it!  Looks great without the textures. The lighting sets mood, his pose / proportions give him a lot of personality. Pretty strong posing skills dude.  Now, you can make another pass at it (next round on this guy, or the next robot) -- no texture yet, but add more detail - some nurnies, nuts and bolts.... Inlays/bevels. 

First level = Overall Shape (If you're talking about humans - it'd be the shape / pose of a person) and basic planes for light, etc...
Second level of detail = eyes, teeth, refine it....
Third Level of detail = Pores, freckles.

You should get the idea for what you've got on the first pass.... definitely see it as a piece on the second pass (that's what I'd say you've got here) -- the 3rd level of detail just adds more realism.

This dude is awesome, I really like him. Congratulations on coming so far so fast.

Thank you sooo much! Especially for the suggestion and the help. Getting advices from pros like you is always helpful for a self-taught artist like me ^^

^This. A lot of time I stuck at this "big > small > smaller detail" part, which I think because I rarely use reference. Like this robot for example, I've seen countless robot designs already--from games, movies, etc--and I can picture their details like the bolts, inlays/onlays, greebles, some random number code, and stuff like that, but when I try to put them into my model, my mind goes blank, the progress slow down, I got bored and start another one lmao.

Most people jump into the 3rd level too soon(e.g. trying to paint skin pores before the proportions, etc are correct). 

One trick is to render your model from a few angles(at least front / side) , drop those renders into photoshop or whatever,  and just drop some bolts/  screws/  etc on there... experiment that way. Much faster than sculpting in 3d.

Another possibility is to look for kitbash sets.... a bunch of ready made parts that you can cut and paste on your model.
