Drafting and Design Development

This week, most of my work focused on building the rough draft and establishing the main direction for the design. I experimented with several approaches, including both bulky and slender body types. However, I found that the bulkier design resulted in the muscle layer occupying too much space, which made it harder to maintain visual clarity and recognizability.

In the end, I chose EVA Unit 08 as the primary reference for my design. Based on that, I constructed the basic body structure and adjusted the overall posture. With this foundation in place, I’m now ready to move on to the next stage of the design process.

Although they may look somewhat similar at first glance, the underlying design approach is completely different. I believe that in the final piece, you’ll be able to see a distinct style emerge from this process.

At the same time, I began creating initial sketches for the robot’s muscle bundles and outer armor, which will go through several iterations in the coming stages.
