Hoo doggy this is a phenomenal collection.
Each of you has done a magnificent job.

This is a short view on how Trampler concept in Horizon Zero Dawn evolved from 2D paintings to a further developed concept in 3D.

I started, first, sketching the first ideas for it in 2D. (More 2D concepts for this design at http://www.bymonje.com/horizon-zero-dawn-trampler/ or https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8yKAw)

After a long period of pre-production[FONT=arial], where we developed the style and ideas behind the robots, I took back work on this concept as a 3D mockup in ZBrush.

The concept evolved and changes in many different directions, integrating the vision from art and game direction, and the input from all departments involved.

In this stage, I still had the horns attached close to the shoulders. I wanted to experiment with those, unfolding in a way that is closer to a machine instead of an animal.

I gave it a big heavy head, in order that is able to charge with weight against the ground or rocks and break them into parts.

In the last stage of this concept version, I gave the 3D model an appearance similar to the other Horizon robots, styled by Mike Nash. On this model, still many tests were done, like clearance of movements of all the functional parts.

[FONT=arial]These are some of the concept stages for the Shell Walker. Its main function was to transport resources to the Robot Foundry.

[FONT=arial]Over that function, in the early concept version, I gave it more personality, by making it handling and protecting the box like if it was a precious treasure.
I added a shield that he could handle in its arms and experimented with some ideas on it loading the box showing effort, like a person loading a heavy object.

On the first stage, I sketched the first ideas for this design (More 2D concepts for it at http://www.bymonje.com/horizon-zero-dawn-shell-walker/ or https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oPv6q)
Then, I switched to work on Zbrush to develop the concept.

From this point on, I started iterating on the concept, integrating art and game direction.

While this final concept iteration looks much more detailed than the starting one, the overall idea and main functionality, stayed quite intact during all the design process.

In the last version, we substituted the hand shield by a gravity shield system and added a weapon based on a “pistol shrimp”.
I gave the 3D model an appearance similar to the other Horizon robots, styled by Mike Nash.
