My Kam is an industrial designer so I wanted to do something special for her engagement ring. I thought she would appreciate it if I designed it myself, but it was tough though cause she knows more about design than I do. I put alot of thought into and she ended up loving it so I guess I did good :)
I wanted to make a cool box to fit with the ring I made. I had no idea how to make a box so asked my friend Bryan Norton who used to work in a model shop for movies. It was fun but it was really hard. Plus it was hard to try to hide what I was doing from my girlfriend. She really liked it though so it was definitely worth it.
Bryan is looking for work right now as a concept artist. We worked together at Pandemic and he is a great guy and an awesome artist. Check out his website at http://norton.carbonmade.com/ and his blog at http://n0rt0n.blogspot.com/
I wanted to show how Robocops helmet comes apart in stages. He requires special tools to disassemble his helmet making him heavily reliant on OCP for maintanace and repair. Hope you like.
Some of the other designs I used as influence for robocop. wanted to incorporate a more modern language for robocops near futurism design. I wanted robocop to feel more fluid and organic like he could be a runner or a martial artist, so I incorporated some nano tech with steel so he looked flexible and protected. I'm also playing with the idea of giving him a techy sword of some sort ;)
