This is a first draft of a specialized soldier I designed for a comic. The goal was to get it to look kinda cool and futuristic but still keeping it simple. Looking back on it now I think maybe there's too much going on; and I might even mute some of the flakes to see what happens.
I appreciate critiques, there's always room for improvement.
Total time from start to finish was about 24hrs.
Cycles (1000 passes) and Blender Internal.
