biomimicry












Biomimicry. Or to be fair, it's more of a biomorphic design than anything. The biomimicry part is just the termite mound inspired cooling system.  So basically these are mining mechs who operate in a hive system so as to reduce human presence when mining on faraway planets. Unit Somnus L5 is the "queen" of the mech hive and is the only one who directly communicates with the human operators dispatched to said planet. Otherwise, the operators do interact with the other mechas when in need of serious repairs.  If said planet is too hostile for human living conditions, the operators are usually stationed nearby in a space kiosk or something.......

Related to the "cutaway" below hahaha.

Yeah. Was watching the SCII Heart of the Swarm trailer a wee bit too many times....

decided to finally sit down and do a diorama, inspired by robogabo's blog. :D
Although from my point of view it looks like a cutaway.

Sketches tend to be characters or creatures.,,. they're easier to do than landscapes  ;_;

decided to detail a sketch i did earlier this week.  My feels when I'm the only person using acrylic in the painting room. And then someone goes and smears oil paint on my hoodie.

Trying out an attempt at The Line Art, which I've always wanted to do but sadly failed.  Looking at too much Akihiko Yoshida!

About 1 hr?  Tried starting from colour first, and need a better grip on edges/lighting. Too reliant on epic lighting is no good.  Time to polish it tmrw!
