Hi, this is my "copy" of the mechsuit Alphonse from the Patlabor movies. I still have some minor tweaking to do, and some markings to paint but this is almost finished. What do you think?
The shape looks good, but I think it looks more like one of the Power Rangers' robots. Unless that's what you're going for I'd recommend only a couple thoughts.
First: Add some more detail overall. Some weapons, compartments, just stuff. That will add realism and of course the more detail (stuff) you can add, the better it will look (most of the time).
Second: Add some marks and such to look like battle marks. Blast stains and cracks would look good in a few places.
Ok, that's it for my ranting.
This robot was supposed to look like the original thing. Not a super-beefed-up-ultra-destroyer. Scars and marks have been added since though, thanks
Well I have am a big fan of all the Patlabor films, and this looks spot on. Really great work dude. You need to work on the material properties and the lighting. It still looks CG, and that can easily be made to look very reall just by getting your materials right and the lighting. What renderer are are you using?
