Robot Assisgnment

 For this first assignment we had to design our own robot! The project itself was to test our research and traditional art skills.

To begin off this assignment I first researched into existing robots in both video games and films to see what was already out there and how it could inspire me within my own design, I particularly liked the ideas from this page of research of the free flying concept where the robot acted more as a guide and companion to the player rather than a playable character.




After researching into current robot ideas I created my rough concepts as shown below, I tried out three various designs, the first being my favourite idea of the free flying robot companion, my second being a more classic style robot as a playable character with humanoid limbs such as legs and arms and my third being a different art style approach of trying out a pixel art style robot inspired by my Megaman research. 



After sketching out my ideas I decided to go with my first idea of the free flying robot and took this forward into my final concept as pictured below, with my final concept I tried to think about the robot in terms of game play considering armour plating, lights etc into my design and how they would interact and help with guiding the player, I also tried to think about story and background information on my robot and how it came to be and it's purpose to create a more interesting concept. I am really pleased with my final outcome and would like to take this further in my spare time to model this robot in Maya.
