Robot Designs - Mayaby *Canadian-Rainwater

Traditional Art / Drawings / Technical Drawings

Dump of my attempts to design a robot for my 3D-Rendering class using Maya. I suck at Maya and tried to keep it simple at first before resigning myself to the fact that robots can't be simple and sealed my fate.
---

I'm no good with robots and mechas and generally hate drawing what I call "non-organics", just one of the many reasons why I'm not as crazy about science fiction as I am over fantasy. The requirements for this assignment: no guns (basically no mindless killing machines), the robot must be bipedal, and the robot must have a function.

I wanted to do a robot inspired by the Ancient Egyptian Gods but thanks to Stargate every idea I sketched so far was rejected under the premise that "it's been done already". Kinda' sucks when your ideas are shot down because of a series you aren't even familiar with.

From top to bottom that pretty much follows all the drawings I've done so far. The thumbnails I worked on tonight and will show my Maya professor tomorrow to see if he approves of any/if any are non-Stargatey enough. I wanted to try and avoid the death!robots that everyone is so drawn to by sticking to Anubis and his embalming hooks, but it eventually became Seth and his scimitars (AKA: a deathbot) before I tried my boyfriend's suggestion and tried some Apis- and Sobek-bots with sickles to represent their function as a harvester (Gods of wheat/harvest/the Nile).

Hopefully at least one will be approved. Really I should have done the thumbnails first and not launched straight into the full sketches.

I pretty much didn't like Stargate at all. Because I have my OWN idea of what happens to the gods, and not just the Egyptian ones, No.

I envision Christian heaven located in a gas giant, and the Egyptians on a desert planet populated by alien mummies (similar to those from Ben 10).

This stuff is just awesome, as well!
