OK fine folks of cgtalk, I need some help. I'm kind of at a loss as to what more I need to do with her. I'm trying to go for a more organic-like feel to the mech/cyborg look for her, and I'm stumped as to how to continue. Anyway, look at what I have so far, and offer some suggestions!

It's not done yet obviously. I haven't finished the head yet, the eyes and ears need more definition. Also the hands stink to high heaven, so they will be completely redone. The feet I'm not modeling, she will be wearing boots of some sort, maybe some sorta Mech claw or something, I dunno. I also don't like the detail in the stomach region, it's too hard looking, so I'm going to smooth out those muscles and ribcage too. Also no UV layouts have been done yet, so you're looking at simple shaders on the model.

What I need is some good reference material. If anyone knows of a good place to find some different mech/cyborg looks, I'd appreciate it. Also a few comments on how to improve my current model would be appreciated to.

Thanks in advance. :D

PS: Modeled in Maya 4.5 on a Mac.

How about a borg-like eyepiece, or some kind of techy junk on her forearm or hip? I think the style you have going is cool, you just need to push the cyborg aspect a little more. Have you considered 'borrowing' some design ideas from movies like First Contact, Matrix or Terminator? All the machine design in those movies would make a good place to start for reference material.

Good idea, I didn't even think of that.

My goal is to fill her up with all kinds of techno things, and I've barely begun to do that. I'm probably going to cover her hands, forearms, feet and lower legs with some sort of light armor. Kinda similar to the small breastplate that she has now. It will probably take me a while to finish her, but I'm in no hurry.

Thanks for the feedback.
