Well, here it is, a test animation of “Odie” the Audi R8 Transformer I’ve been working on for months. I can’t wait to insert him into live action. I’m planning to make a short video clip with Odie in it and I want it to have that Michael Bay feel just like in the movies. Anyway, enjoy watching this video which is also a compilation of everything about Odie the Audi R8 Transformer.

“Odie” Renders

Finally, after a few days of being very productive outside of my teaching, I have assembled the Transformer for my Audi R8. So far, so good. I’m loving how everything worked out. There were some changes based on my sketch but those changes were for the better.If you’ve noticed I’ve changed the main color to red since the pale blue color does look kind of pale. I haven’t seen a red Autobot so I guess my Transformer that will now be named as “Odie” will be affiliated with the good guys. If you wonder why I chose that name, well, maybe you should see my related topics on what car I used for this transformer. Anyway, here are the renders.

Like I said, I’ll be working on the robot this week and here’s some progress on the head. Just click the images for a larger view. You can compare these 3D renders to the sketches I made a few weeks ago here.

Audi R8 Transformer Concept Art

So, the one day where in I went to school even if there were no classes due to a holiday, I decided to do some sketches. Based on the winner of the poll I made some time ago, I found it quite odd that the most awkward sketch of the Transformer actually won and looks good when done digitally.

Below is a digital rendition of the Transformer head that won the poll.

The first artwork below is for the assembly of the Transformer in Robot mode. There are some detailed descriptions on where the specific car parts will go. Although it seems detailed as of the moment, all of this is subject to change. As for the artwork below the assembly art, it’s a full bodysketch with details on how the robot mode may look like.

Thanks for looking. Leave any comments or suggestions if you want to.

Poll: Audi R8 Robot Head Sketches

I did some sketches for my Audi R8 Transformer head. I thought of sketching a lot of studies of the head first before I proceed with making the body. The car is still also in progress because I’d like to know how to place my robot inside of the car to make it transform perfectly.

Anyway, here are the choices and the poll will be shown below.

Here’s the Poll:

Well, my website actually.

Finally, after months of conceptualization and development I have finally finished this website to be ready for viewing. In the blog post below, you’ll see the story of how this website came to life and the design obstacles it went through. Some sections like the “Stuff” section will be improved in the future as I go to create more templates for everyone.

This website will not only showcase my works but also a blog about my experiences with design and animation as well as video. Theories, latest trends news, and some tips on both art and design. Enjoy your visit here at my site and stay tuned for more updates in the future!
