Project Eye Candy
Project "Eye Candy" was a collaborative student project which I worked on with 2 of my classmates. The objective for the project was to find a way to collaborate and work around each others skills.
The mech was based on Aaron De Leon's concept https://www.artstation.com/ig-515
Joshua Lay was responsible for the modeling and animation of the mech https://www.artstation.com/layua
Layla Viscu was responsible for the environment and simulation https://www.artstation.com/paper_crane
And I was responsible for the texturing, material making, rigging of the mech and compositing of the shot.
We thought of recreating a Titanfall style landing for the mech since that would highlight each of our skills, a close up of the mech for Joshua's modeling skills, my material and compositing skills and Layla's environment making and simulation skills.

Close up of Material
Initial metal underlayer was too shiny and so I edited it out to be less reflective.

Grading board reference. I was gonna go for a Desert Storm kind of feel to it and even Black Hawk Down where it's quite grainy and had harsh contrasts.
