Death Comes For Robots Too

last year's Halloween Costume, never got around to uploading photos.

paper mache, red leds, articulated jaw.

Talos -Test Render

Testing a new exporter for sketchup that should speed up the import process. Also playing around with filmic blender, certainly seems to increase the camera's sensitivity to light.

The Gathering Tape

Album artwork I made for the bootleg Grandaddy album, The Gathering Tape.
I thought I'd share it with you all, feel free to use it and share it around.

Halloween Costume 2016

Once again I have returned for my favorite time of year, HALLOWEEN!

This year I've been working on a costume based off a design by the ever amazing duster132 !

He draws some of the best robots on DeviantArt, go check him out!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Batman Beyond Cosplay - Final

I've finally gotten around to finishing off this costume.

The mask design is based off of zenithcollector's design and the overall idea is inspired by his work.
The boot design is heavily inspired by Rickyryan's Robot 0.

This is part nine of the build log for my costume, which will be the last.


Made from Cardboard, EVA foam, acrylic paint, and lots of hot glue.

Modeled in Google Sketchup based on zenithcollector's work, rickyryan's painting, and my own design, flattened, printed out, cut by hand, and assembled.

GS-05 Military Ground Robot

Designed to be cheap to manufacture and easy to repair, the GS-05 Military Ground Robot is ideal for large deployments of expendable ground forces.

Military Assault Unit - Forgotten

Another render of my Military Assault Unit.

This time I've been practicing with dust, rust, and oil stain shaders to give it a forgotten ancient look. I keep re-using this same scene because it contains a lot of geometry and different materials which is good for practicing shaders.
(I also fixed the eye's refraction and the texture displacement on the back wall since the last version)

Batman Beyond Costume

I finally got around to compiling all the final photos of the costume. Good timing too, as I have just begun to design the legs.

This is a compilation of all the photos of the costume from the latest work in progress reports

I just discovered HDR image lighting in blender! It makes renders look so much more real, and it's really simple to use. Stoked

Military Assault Unit (Version 2)

UPDATE: Added dirt and oil effects to the main body shader, as well as reworked the background box. (previous version here)

This new robot is a redesign of one of my earliest robot designs. When I was first starting out in sketchup I had designed this: http://saberpeep.deviantart.com/art/Onslaught-388790226 I felt that it needed a redesign, and I've been aching to do another industrial themed design.

(make sure to zoom in, this one is 2160x1920!)

Cyber Ninja Poster

Music to go with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3NoYyNKSXQ

I decided to do an 80's retro-styled poster by compositing together a whole ton of stock.
I think it turned out pretty well. Inspired by FarCry 3 Blood Dragon.
