Robots, robots

Just a quick render from a little side project I am actively working on at the moment.

Everything in this image is designed and created by yours truly.

All the elements you see here are still work-in-progress, I made this render not just to test the shadings, effects and the lighting, but also to make a cool picture to keep myself motivated. I can only stare so long at wireframes and turntables before I throw in the towel out of sheer boredom.

Here is a single render of the guard robots depicted in the scene above, took me about 1.5 weeks, on and off, to model, texture and rig for animation.

More renders to come soon.

P/S: is it me or JPG compression actually make my renders crisper? hmmmm
