Cute and Menacing


Awhile ago I created this drawing on my Ipad.  I liked it's simplicity enough to bother committing the time to model it in Rhino.  Someday I might buy a Makerbot and print this out.  Here is a rendering that I created in Keyshot with that model.  I think I continue to play with this one, looks like it could use some more details.  Sensor clusters, damage cages, antenna, more lights, and a cargo pack might make this more fun.  Overall, the form is inspired from the anime stylings of Masamune Shirow's Tank Police.  If you haven't heard of Mr. Shirow, he's got some fun stuff, it was big inspiration for me when I was younger.  Careful if you Google him, a lot of the content is not safe for work
