Character Design - Blastro Man

This is my character design, Blastro Man. He was the greatest super hero in his day, but has long since retired his cape. Now in the new millenium, he now sees the world in the need of the heros he once knew. He now dones his cape once again to show the world that his generation is the greatest generation (whether it's true or not).

See-More Bot 2.0

I decided to make a second version of my previous project, the "See-More Bot". The major differences I made in it were that I made it into a slightly more "organinic" feel by making it more out of plastic than metal. This also served as a asthetic choice, as my robot was intended to be a walking security camera, and making more parts of him out of plastic will make him lighter and faster.

Envirnoment Design - Panic Room (lit & textured)

This is an self-designed environment I had created. Now it has been fully lit and textured. It is called "The Panic Room", a safe room/bomb shelter a crazed conspironist had made on his own dime. Eventually, the man grew up from his delusions and hardly ever visits the room, which has begun to fall into decay.

Environment Model - 1st United Church (re-lit)

This is a previous project I had done, but was not happy with the lighting. Now I have re-lit it in a more dynamic way.

Character Design: Z Soldier

This was a small character design I had done for a class about a year ago. I had designed this character along with the SeeMore-Bot as well as the Panic Room. I may plan on modeling this character as a side project if I can find the time.

The character was designed in a futuristic setting, about 24 years from now, in which the government, military, and most companies have lost all ethical morality and now are free to pursue whatever endeavors modern currency can afford. The military now suffers from a low amount of applicants to join the military, which are needed in the ongoing war against terrorism. This has lead to riots from the general populace, protesting about illegal searches, military drafts and "disappearances" of family members, all to be used and reluctant soldiers. In order to silence the immediate protests, the military and several pharmaceutical companies have created "Z Soldiers", bodies of deceased soldiers outfitted with advanced weaponry and computerized brains in which they are remote controlled. They don't sleep, they don't eat, and they always follow orders.

Unit 44 is the 44th unit to fall into the "Z Company" (a speacial military regimin based enitrely on Z soldiers). Unit 44 was originally a victim of a grenade accident, which had blown off his lower body, right arm and most of his left arm. Unit 44 acts as a point guard for open urban warfare. Unit 44 was outfited with a tri-barrel, .44 calibur mingun, mechanized left that is used to reload the minigun arm, and all-terrain wheel transport.
