taking forever.

Nice :). Maybe you could use Stalkers animations to make this part easier? Apart from that, nice draw, is it from you?

@Thunderzak: Go

It's a lot of practice and effort to animate it from zero, but if I stuck, i will seek stalkers for help.. XD

yea I drew that sketch.

Reminds me of portal. I think the color scheme and red eye did it.

@JacktheArcher: Go

I choose this color scheme because it's what I thought the best fit-in for the 3 already existed races, which, one of them is grey metalic, one is brown red-ish / black biological skin, one is metalic golden and blue-ish metal. White plastic is the easiest scheme that I can think of for now to best distinguish Cynteor from Protoss, Terran and Zerg. And white is probably the most favorite color of Robots. (e.g portal and i,robot)

though the idea comes from Matrix which all robots are kind of black and red-eyed.

PS: red is team color :P

@seraphlio: Go Very nice. Remembers me of the long-dead community project :-/

@SoulFilcher: Go

I'm actually working on a new race as you can figure out from the drawing, called Cynteor, which is a completely Robotic race and it's ruled by an Global AI. I currently have 4 units' concept done. This is the only one yet I started to visualize, but soon I think there will be a bunch of them.

@seraphlio: Go

Is this race from some game/movie or you are doing nothing specific and just open for ideas? If you need any robotic concept I could suggest a model concept that may also help me as well due to needing that robot made.

@seraphlio: Go Then you should read the ideas in the community project, because that's exactly what the project was about.

That looks pretty great :) Are those gonna be available for public use?

And yea, as SoulFilcher said, check out the community project: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hUHq6OtMb-RpA3P_iKGvwB7F7lcAhnhA3Rt4pa1T5vM/edit
Maybe there are some ideas in there that you might find useful.

@SoulFilcher: Go

@TheAlmaity: Go

It will be available for public use after my project is done,(or after I give up), but I may release single model if people request it.

and... I'm not really good at reading. I'm not sure if there is any conflict, but my story is:

Cynteor is a highly advanced AI/Robotic race that originally developed by a group of AI specialist from Solar system. Somehow the earth Government got rid of these AIs. They were sent to a sector far away from solar system. The AI learns from the environment around itself, and evolved into an entire robotic civilization. As they started gather resources from ourter space to further enhance their civilization, a sector nearby has bursted out a strong energy signal that can not be analysed by the Empirer AI(which is when Xelnaga Artifact neutralized all zerg on Char). Attention has been drawn, they started to prepare for whatever is going to happen, and sent an investigation team to Koprulu. The time is when Kerrigan woke up in the test lab. Though the robots didn't show themself directly in front of 3 races, they hide in the dark, gather information from far and waiting for the right time.

blah blah...

anyway, I'm just gonna take time to do this.

@Eimtr: Go

I'm designing it based on all of my visual libarary and knowledge. incoming ideas may be appreciated. :P

Nice concept art, you are really good at it. And the style and the design is great. Go for it.

@seraphlio: Go

To which I can only say, V'Ger.
Seems like a mixture of The Matrix + Terminator + Star Trek + Metroid Prime 2: Echoes to me. Let's see how this turns out, shall we?

@seraphlio: Go

This one but it is more of melee amd a robot to hold weapons, like a hero robot, yours seems quite a different style...

@Miles07: Go

wait and see.

@Eimtr: Go

That's probably some mix up with Japanese Acient Armor and humenoid robot. Reminds me of Splinter from TMNT though.. :P

triangle count so far? looks really nice btw.

@phanalax128: Go

lower than stalker.

PS: you know what.. false information. I triangulated my mesh and applied the mirror modifier, it's now about 300 more triangle count than a stalker.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Glad I'm not the only one who sees portal in it.

The community robot race died due to lack of models. This could be really cool.
