Misticetus

I was busing with a contest and didn't have a chance to work on my own concept work.

This WAYLE is Misticetus, inspired by bowhead whales. I hope for the next mech I can just use the render instead of having to composite it in photoshop.

Might retopo this and learn to texture it in substance painter.

Orka full body design

I  decided to use my first mech design for an original story.

Early line drawing.

Current full body design views. It's a few months old and there are a couple of adjustments that I will implement for the detailed design - anatomy of the legs, center of mass for the full body, leg/hip connections and feet stability for different movements. 

This design is independent of the WAYLE series that I'm currently doing, it's basically about a man who built a robot.... and no spoilers! 

Belugah

Next WAYLE - Belugah, inspired by Beluga whales.


For the past WAYLES, I tried to based my design on the real whales, but for Beluga I just decided to design a mech and make it white. Color combination was the most time consuming so it took a while to composite, but not much photobashing or painting. 

The lighting was an accident, the original lighting was a default global lighting, but I played around with all the different light passes in photoshop, and this is the result of a good "accident".

Height info will be updated. Going to make it 7ft tall.

Humpbac

Next WAYLE - Humpbac. Inspired by the humpback whales.

This was made before 2015, I just decided to finish it up now. Since humpback whales have a lot of bumps on their heads, I decide to use some kind of sensors to represent them,  originally I was using a spherical design for the sensors, but decided to use cylinder shapes.

 I went with the black/yellow bumblebee color scheme.
