Military drone

[Chris Rosewarne]

Hi everyone! Thought I'd share my latest bit of robot madness with you....

I had the urge to make a robot for a scene involving a long corridor, strip lighting and reflections, I didn't know what it would be, just that it would make you feel a bit trapped and claustrophobic to look at it, I didn't want it to look like it was chasing you, only that it would ominously make its way towards you... no where to run..... So I started off with a quick sketch then jumped into PS, kit bashing some military equipment together to create new shapes, I came up with this 'V' shaped collar and tapered panelling in the sketch so I was keen to keep it, from here it was just a matter of making sense of what was connecting everything. I spent about two days in SketchUp with this one, I'm slowly building a library of parts and panelling that I can re-use to save time on the detailing and allow me to just concentrate on the shape and design, I knew it was going to me mostly back-lit so I wanted the silhouette to be interesting and strong.... I was looking at F-35 jets for the surface stealth panelling and colours and carried that over into the Keyshot renders, using a photo backplate and an HDRI that would be a close lighting match I came up with this scene, the blood and bullet holes were added to try and create a dramatic narrative - did the robot do that, or is it investigating...? I'll leave that to you to decide.

Hope you like it and you can follow me here too https://www.facebook.com/Chrisrosewarneart

This one has a look of terminator and robocop about it, with a smidgen of the landing craft from aliens in your robots shape. It also oozes quality Chris. Some people have a natural talent that makes this look oh so easy.

Not mad keen on the design, but the renders are great (again).

Cheers!

Thanks guys!

Ed - I think so too...... he's moving on to finish the job.....

Martin - cheers dude, yes very Terminator feel, kinda what I wanted and I love that Aliens dropship, Ron Cobb at his finest there....

CAClark - the design is a touch flamboyant for sure.... glad you like the renders though

Excellent work. I think making the "face" a bit more menacing would be even better.

Neat! Especially the edgy one in the hallway.  I find it interesting that it's always about "military", never "civilian", who, at least in the United States, is supposed to have control over the military. Or do we?
