The Making of.... the MechaBunny Custom
When Nick released the first series of Mecha6, I was stoked. What a great platform toy. I knew right away that I wanted to do a custom and when I got the template from Nick, I knew I'd be designing a robot. Something along the lines of the 80's cartoon Voltron. I started off by building the blank model. Once I had the pieces assembled, I could see the shapes and the potential they had to transform into something else.
I started to sketch....
But the idea looked cooler in my head, not so cool on paper. Change of plans. Then this...
This quick sketch on the template was the spark I needed. From this idea, I went into Illustrator and began designing, free forming shapes from lines and angles. After a preliminary build and some adjustments, a new custom was born.
I like the way he turned out and I'm happy that Nick liked him as well.
