Robo Samurai final design before adding colour...

 

After quite a few weeks of design, iteration and development I'm absolutely delighted to share the final full body design of the Robo Samurai. To get to this stage is so exciting especially after working my way through each area of the body separately and then see it all come together after a slight wobble in the middle. 

There are certainly areas that could have benefited from more development and understanding such as the connection point between the two halves of the body and also the spine but I'm more than happy with the above and am really looking forward to adding colour.

I plan to finish a full colour version of this animated clip once the course is finished.

The font was also changed and the title pages removed to make it more concise and streamlined.  We also talked about the presentation and layout of the pages and reduced the number of characters initially shown. Overall I'm very pleased, you can view it below...
