Im really pleased with this finished product i feel it captures Half life and Shirow Masamune quite well. The main character looks very similar to a cross between a half life scientist and one of shirows strong female characters, the only thing i really dislike about her is the head.
The robot was heavily inspired by the half life Loader robot but kept the colour scheme of Shirows work because Cyan is my favourite colour and because i wanted to refer back to my blue colour scheme. Midnight blue for the sky but lighter cyans and turquoise's to highlight the characters. The main inspiration from the loader were the Legs and the gun which was just an edit of the hydralics on the back of the loader. Most if not all of shirows mechs look partially 3d and this is what im most proud of because i feel i have encompassed this very well as i do believe the mech looks quite 3d and realistic.
I wanted the environment to feel slightly depressing, dark and moody. To acomplish this i chose a night time storm scene on the roof of a building overlooking the city, i feel this captures the effect i was going for quite nicely.
After trying to base my style on Shirows ive come to realise i dont like it. It may be due to all ive stared at for the past month is this art style and image but i will take away some things ive learnt from it especially the linework and the gradient system.
