Designing an android's head (I)
2026-07-29
I've been designing an android that will replace the current body of the player's avatar, which is one of the few 3D assets that was still provisional. I wanted to go for something classic, neutral, not too original.

1) My starting point was this simple sketch.
2) I added some detail and "humanized" the face. And that was the problem, it looked like a guy in a suit.
3) I removed the nose, added some "ears" and made the face look more like a skull. Now it looks more like a robot, but the eyes are still too "organic".
4) I modified the eyes to make them look artificial, but still maintaining some of the "organic" essence. I also made the "skull" appearance more subtle.
5) Finally, I played with the result a little bit to give the robot more "personality". I am not entirely sure if I will keep this version, but I think it achieves that goal.
