Basically my idea is for a baseball player that has all of his uniform and "accessories" (ie helmet, bat, etc..) integrated into his body. The idea is still quite rough and needs a lot of fine tuning.

Ok, some head designs

Now the next step is to work out the composition and refine detail in the character.

Please feel free to give any comments/criticism/ideas that you may have...

This guy could bat cannon balls or bullets.:surprised

Nice concepts mate.

Went into FTI today, got a copy of my work. Damn, i miss going there. I walked in, and they were all playing Desert Combat. Geez, those guys work hard :thumbsup:

Although i will be going there for the final milestones, see what happened while i wasn't there ( and to go to Clancy's :beer: )

Looking forwards to seeing how you go in this compo.

Finally I have gotten around to refining my character concept. Cheers
for the cannon ball idea joerhoney, I sort of used that and integrated it with some kind of metallic orb plated ball. I still have to come up with an environment for the character. The obvious would be a baseball field but Im thinking of designing something a little different.

Started modelling, even though I still have to design an environment. Just needed a change from doing concepts. This is only early stages of modelling I want to refine the proportions of the character before I start to integrate all the machine elements. Feel free to give feedback...

Finally added more detail to the character. Also stylized the proportions a bit more.

decided that I didn't like the head so I've changed to be more realistic proportions

Finally got a Wacom tablet so I wanted to do some texturing as soon as possible. I still gotta go back and finish the machine parts of the model.

Note that I haven't given any attention to the eyes yet..
