Emissyr - 2nd year Industrial Design studio assignment
Hey hey~!!
Here is an assignment I worked on for the better part of a month or so for one of my classes. You can see the report chronicling the whole thing from concept to physical prototype, here;
The idea was to action-figurize chess pieces into giant-alien-mecha. It was tricky, fun and at times frustrating. But, I made a toy !!
Group shot of my figures. Had I had time, I'd have crafted unique bodies for the Rook & Knight.
Finished sculpt, ready for 3D printing!!

Even though the Knight had a different body, I dig the head-swap.
Best Ironman pose.
"What was that!?!"
Initial concept brainstorm.
More brain farts.
Nailing the direction a little bit.
Some proposed knight bods.
Moar knights.
By this time, I figured I'd only be able to make the chess-piece of the knight.
