Part man. Part machine. All cop.
This was my very first creation for ModNation Racers. I had seen a ton of preview videos, so by the time I had my hands on the beta I had a pretty clear idea of what was possible and what I wanted to attempt. I decided to pay tribute to one of my favorite movies from the 80's after seeing several movie-inspired mods that had become quite popular.
I started by laying down the skin tone for the base, with a layer of gloss black over all but the visible mouth area. Then I moved on to the helmet, which I created with a series of circles painted with a silver/blue tone with just the right level of reflection to make it look metallic. Then I added the visor to finish it off.
Once the helmet was finished to my satisfaction, the rest of the body was quickly finished using the same colors and techniques I worked out when making the helmet. After discovering the layer depth feature, I applied it to the appropriate areas to give the mod more of a sculpted, 3-D look.
This was the only creation I finished during the beta period, and it was moderately successful with a few nice comments and several downloads. Unfortunately it was lost in the beta/final transition and I haven't gotten around to recreating it.
