final design

this is my final design piece my full on robot that I am going to take into Maya

posing silhouettes

theses are the different posed silhouettes I did for my final design it allows me to look at different poses i can have my final piece.

robotic joints

in this lesson we looked at human joints but we redesigned them to be robotic in nature and design. 

development sketches

these are the final development sketches for my main robot I looked at different heads I drew. I then picked a head and started drawing out different poses for my creature.

robot arm

This is the robot arm I did using images of my own arm I used a couple tools I wouldn't normally but I will use them a lot more in other work.

scrap parts

in this lesson we cut out lots of parts of mechanical objects and we drew a robot or extended on it creating a lot weird designs

20 initial sketches

 these are the original 20 sketches i did. I looked at many different forms i will take these ideas further in my work

texture paintings

 In this lesson we looked at different textures I copied a rusty old pipe and then used paints to recreate the textures.

we did this a couple days after the original but this time we used lots of materials like sand and a lot of paper.

silhouettes

these are my silhouettes I  have done i went with completely new design each time

robots in movies and games

this section where I looked at a lot of robots in movies and TV I mainly looked at a lot I know of  a lot of them where very humanoid looking in style.

robots in real life

 In today's work I did research towards robots and robotics in real life such as exo skeletons these have helped me learn about how far robots are in the present right now this will help when designing to allow me to steer off so I don't start accidentally going into to present robots.  

contextual studies

mood boards

mood boards 

I looked at these different robots which have one common attribute. They all show robots which contains an artificial intelligence and think for themselves. I could use an AI based robot in my design.

In these two mood boards I looked at many different robots from a lot of different art styles. From cute to scary and harmless to very deadly, it just shows how robots can go from one end to the other and that there are many different possibilities.

 This mood board is made up of a lot of robots based in defence such as guards and security bots built for defending. I could use this when designing my robot as a more keeping control or defence.

 I loved many of the colours in some of the colours in this mood board bright and some dark this allows me to think is my robot going  be dark or light in the sense of good and evil.

I looked at more humanoid based robots in this mood board I know its recommended in the project to steer away from it if I can. its still good research I can use and represents different robots from games to TV to movies.

mind maps

mind maps

 this is my mind map the first step in this project where I looked at different aspects at robots.
