ManMECH in 3D (Back to my COH Roots =) )

I was asked to assemble an image of a Mastermind and his bots. I'd already modelled the first bunch of bots the Masterminds get, but not the second or third. As the piece developed, it became pretty clear that, to do ManMECH justice, I'd have to model the rest of the pets. Stack on that the custom legs on the Mastermind himself, shoulders, face, and other pieces required and we're talking a lot of custom props. It took a little extra time, but it was worth it in the end.

WHOA! so much for wondering if you'd be able to do any of the MM pets very well. Those bots came out awesome man! very nicely sticking to the details of each tier. and the costume of ManMECH himself, damn.... epic win!

Well damn brother.


I think you know that i am a huge fan of the robotics/tech look and seeing this is like crack for my eyes. I wants moar!!!


The piece is absolutely stunning and i love seeing all the little things. Say the missiles, pure digital awesomeness.

The fact that i know what ya went through with the TA/Aot piece tells me you've actually improved with the robotics here. It's a great job Doug! I'm as always very impressed..

Can ya tell? lol

Man, that's an image that'd give Sarah Connor the shakes!

Excellent job!

I'm not sure what it is that bugs me on this one.

Maybe it's too clean?
The rockets don't feel like they were actually shot out of the launcher?
The proportions are off with the minion bots vs the MM?
The setting?

Don't get me wrong, it's still pretty, just something is off...can't put my finger on it.

That must have been quite a bit of work !!

The end result IS very much worth it but yeah ... work!

Great job !

and ... I think BackFire was proposing that he was going to redo it better ... can't wait!

Go for it.

And thank you everyone for the kind comments. This piece was especially fun for me because I *also* have a Robot/Force Field Mastermind, so I get why they're so fun.

Awesome Speedy!

Very slick, great job sticking to COH costume details. I love the lighting and how the big of fog/smoke fades the bots and makes the MM stand out.

Very spiffy, Doug! Though I do agree it's a bit too clean (re: Backfire), but I don't feel it detracts all that much from it.

Still very stunning work, and I'm facepalming over not saying so earlier. Head is really not in the game today. Stupid lurker habits.

...now I'm just rambling, bah.
