Styx: concept by Marco Kunardi

Back in August 2011, I got in contact with Marco Kunardi about one of his brilliant concept images for his artbook Clover Twilight, a Cheetah robot called Styx:

As a 3D artist, I love to model realistic hard surface objects, so when I saw this concept art, I had to contact Marco and ask him permission to put hands to work. He gladly granted my wish, and so I have been entertained since then.

At this point, I'm still finishing the process of putting all the main blocks together, so there's still a lot of work ahead!

Here's a work in progress render of my 3D model, don't mind the textures yet :) I'll be updating when it is more advanced. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
