Reconnaissance Mech Design

You have just started working at Blizzard Entertainment on a trial schedule for 2 weeks. Your first assignment has just been handed off to you.  Good luck!

Guidelines- Design a reconnaissance Mech that will be dropped from a mothership and sent to a planet below for reconnaissance investigation. Please draw the Mech in a before and after position. In the before position the Mech may be closed up tight with a protective shell/ capsule or exoskeleton to protect it during the launch and the entering into the planets atmosphere. In the after position please indicate what the Mech looks like after it has landed upon the ground and escaped its protective shell/capsule. (The mothership has not been identified as being human or alien.)

Details- 

1.The Mech needs to have at least 2 -3 legs similar to that of a spider or crab.

2. Needs to have head-shape, thorax and abdomen. Any size variation can work.

3. Can be unmanned or manned. With or without a cockpit.

4. There needs to be some kind of round camera/infrared device with antenna somewhere.

-Optional-

5. Yes...there can be a small set of arms.

6. Yes...there can be some light weaponry.

7. Yes... the abdomen can be tool related or a drill.

-Process-

1. Reference review

-CONGRATULATIONS-

You have just been hired to work on new show for Nickelodeon as the key prop designer. You duties will include designing all props (any objects touched by a human/characters hand.) Prop design plays an important significance in the overall design, and creation of any show. It helps to establish a link between the environments, and the characters that have been designed. Having the ability to draw and stylize your ideas will be of major importance. 

Your show takes place inside the 1970- 1980's time period and has been foreseen by the Director as being "somewhat realistic with a stylized cartoony spin."

Assignment guidelines- The script requires you to create a 1970- 1980's motor home that will help influence the design of the show. This is a 3D show so please include other views. A reverse view and top view.

Step 1- ROUGH THUMBNAILS - Create a series of rough thumbnails demonstrating your idea's, and thinking process. Please exaggerate your shapes, and arrangement of shapes to create the best design possible. You must have a reverse view as well.

Step 2-ROUGH- Take your favorite roughs, and draw them in a larger, cleaned up size. there should be limited designing happening at this point.

STEP 3- CLEAN UP/PRESENTATION- Your final 3 images will be cleaned up, and presented upon a 11x 17 presentation of your choice. Drawing may still a loose, and semi rough quality to them if that helps to express the gesture of the vehicle.

Have fun!!
