Personal Project

For something to do during my very limited free time as a challenge to myself, I am going to do a 3d illustrative piece, based off of an abstract silhouette character design I recently made.
A bit calvin and hobes esque, this is a piece focusing on a kid in a dino costume, lecturing his stuffed animals. About what ? I'm unsure, but I like the idea. I want to focus on the architecture of the real world, and see if i cannot make something "simple but interesting". So to do this, I am making a child's bedroom. I think the hardest part is going to be set-dressing this project since children aren't known to be clean.

Here is the design which inspired the idea:

 

when I look at this character, I don't see him being the nicest of kids. but not the strongest either. His ratlike nose, and large head, make me think he is more the verbal bully, who often oversteps his bounds with schoolyard friends, making bigger more physical bullies beat him up. To counter this, he relies on his wits, and has developed a rather active imagination. I believe he is scolding his stuffed animals, because they are readying for the attack.
This explains his dino costume, complete with footie pajamas. This is his war paint.
I'm going to call this kid Victor. He looks like a Victor to me. sad to say I don't think if he is going up against the bigger kids, armed only with stuffed animals is he going to be the victor of any fights, but the name still suits him... even if it is because of irony. 

Mechanical Brainstorm

Dive sheil

spring loaded back mounted shield, which protects hero from fall damage

shoulder  cannons

expanding back cannons, which fire from shoulder mounts at enemies

BackHook

a back mounted grappling hook of sorts which pulls the wearer to the ledge they attached to. 

JumpBoots

using countering forces, these are boots which thrust the wearer forwards and up, providing them with jumping capabilities not possible through human jumping.

Ionic blaster

an  expanding forearm mounted gun, which collects energy as it rotates. it then fires this off.

Power gauntlet (breaker)

a two piece gauntlet



bat wing flier: back attached bat wing- which extends and flips open. perhaps laser mesh between bones?

Swat Helmet: helmet with automated guard. scifi. visor might be glass or slatted metal. perhaps helmet rotates outwards like a camera aperture

jump barrel armor: chest plate which drops down to legs, sending player upwards

spider bot: thrown like a gernade, this ball, has legs extend from inside of its body, and walks

gun blade: sword that splits along the center, and has a handle which snaps down, turning it into a very dangerous bladed gun. because fingers are for losers.
