    Thanks Ezra! I'll be checking your thread next.

    After five minutes of reconfiguration it turns out this thing was a transformer!

    Something steampunkish (word, or not so much? Discuss.) I'm doodling tonight.

    Unless I can think of something else to do with this I guess it's pretty much done.

    Rooooooobots! You have a wonderful skill over hard geometrical edges. Something I deeply struggle with. My absolute respect! I like your new robot, what is your inspiration for it?

    Thanks for the great comments, Rykka! For inspiration, first I get an idea of what I'd like to do next. Then I go to google and start searching images. I'm a big image whore, I've got like 10 gigs in my image folders alone. I find a few pics that I like and then go to Zbrush and start getting the basic shapes down. I use vague impressions from a lot of different images to get what I want on the screen and that way it ends up being my own creation as opposed to just a clone of a single image I've seen. I've really gotten a fondness for steampunk mechanicals lately and that's why most of my sculpts lately have had that sort of theme. I'm really bad at organic sculpting (as you can see if you look at the first half of this thread) but I'm attempting to get a little organic feel into my mechanicals for the past week or two.

    Anyway, here's my morning progress. The hand is unattached until get to the posing stage just to make it easier to work on.

    After a few hours and a ton of trial and error, I think I might have hit on the right combinations for this piece. Please let me know what you all think.
