Roboman for animation

Well heres another holiday project of mine, i think this is the third, but this time i have drawn out a concept and have figured out HOW im going to model it, so here he is. he is a small robot man that im going to animate, he looks ok at the moment but im going to work on his arms a bit. let me know what you think

Well no replies yet but i shall prevail!!

Worked on the arms and head a bit to add some detail, that orb in the centre is going to have mechanics in it, sorta transperent.

well, looking good so far, waiting for you to post the image with the orb thingie complete.

Cool, excited to see the inside of this gizmo.

Well ive tried out some materials and tried to make a small orby thing for the centre of his body, im not too sure how it turned out so crits would be nice

nice… Looks like you’ve made a design that’s visually good, and easy to animate. :yes:

Thanks, i decided to do a mechanical character after difficulties on organics, im alright at modeling organics but have trouble riging them, as a lot of people do i guess, so one of my main aims was makign it easy to animate

Well ive given my first robot a bit of a rest and ive started on the second, hes meant to be a smaller companion for the first, im going to make little 5 mins kids show styled episodes wit hthese little guys, hopefulyl it turns out ok

Well been having a surprising amount of trouble with little Dynamo as ive decided to call him, but i think hes reached a point where trying to fix all the little things will make me restart him, not something im too fond of, i would really like some critique and suggestions as i think im stuck atm.

im doing something very similar for my final year project at uni - a 5-7 min education video where the main character is a 3D robot!

Im having trouble just designing him to look right let alone modelling him atm!

@Thom-in-3D, i dont really have trouble designing things, but do you think the quality is fairly high? because ive only been using blender seriously for about 6 months and im only 15 so i would like to be able to compare myself to some other work.
