artworks ive been doing  artwork I did to try flesh out the story and gameplay in my mind.

So this is an interesting I initially had no plan of doing this but as I was going I wanted to throw my hand at trying to make a AAA games character as well as the ones that I currently had. So I decided on a character that wasn't one of the robots so that they would remain looking unified as a set. At this point I started playing around with hair but would eventually decide to commit ongoing for the full AAA look and aesthetic and the hair I settled on. Maps  

This one broke my usual workflow in that it's the only model hat started in Maya and that I then created the high poly around the low poly  at this point I was noticing that the arms in my initial illustrations weren't really working well in the 3d space so I had to change them up and decided on a ball joint thing. And here it is, when I pose it it will have a lean (forward) and a little bit of a squat as well but as it stands this is my bot. 

As the main opposition that the player would be facing in this fictional game, I felt it would be good to also realize these in 3D as well. Unlike the 2000's dog, this one I started in ZBrush and then went to creating the low poly after. Initially I started it in Maya but quickly ran into problems in ZBrush mainly caused by how thin it was. also got my maps for this dude out the way.

I'mm just gonna say my process on how I work real quick. First I start in Maya by creating a very rudimentary model that captures what I feel is the bare bones shape and feel of the model I want.  Then I'd move to ZBrush where I'd then spend quite a bit of time creating the high poly model and making sure that everything looks and works the way that I want it too. From there I'd move to topogun to get my retopology done. I feel that when I create a low poly from a high I'm more easily able to replicate the look of my low  And then standard UV and textures to come.
