Description
Was to be a colab with but that kinda petered out partway threw.My first success at making something that looks human (well semi-human). I've made a number of humanoid things in the past but I've never been able to get that proportions right.
While working on this I got to thinking how the mythical creatures of the world have been driven out by the harsh light of reason. These things were once part of peopleβs everyday lives despite the fact that they didn't really exist. Perhaps in the future they could be reintroduced to the world via technological means. Machinery in the service of myth, it would be quite a thing.
Made in Maya
Rendered in Mental Ray

This is quite the concept, mythical and mechanical. Just brilliant. Good form and design.

Excellent! I find the glowing green brain is a tad bright though.

Wow, I really like the modelling and the details that you've set into the model. The style and creativity itself is impressive and the way that you've carried it out through your skills is quite impressive. Also, the textures are subtle enough to accentuate your model but they still make themselves known, so they work really well. Damn good job, I like it a lot.

what tha... crazy robot mermaid (nothing about the image implies 'crazy' i just put that in to add drama) not your usual style, but its great. I woulda preferred a normal mermaid tho.
