I never really had a chance to go all in design so I decided to test my limit in terms of design. I made sure to make it detailed, but not so detailed that the details look random. The inspiration for this design came when I was playing around with LEGO, trying to make a robot out of boredom. Then I thought the shape looked pretty good, so I just decided to make a detailed version of it. I tried to keep a balance between detail and empty flat surfaces. I improved throughout the process of making this robot, or mech as I like to call it. In the making of this mech, I tried to think as realistically as possible in terms of articulation while retaining as much of my original vision. This is the most detailed piece I have made yet. Through this project, I learned the bitterness of failure through unsatisfactory base models, but also the sweetness of perseverance. As artists always say, “trust the process.”
