Glacier Defense Systems: SUS-T7 "Shepard" Preservation Warden

Last model in the initial series, my first bipedal rig, my first foray into cloth simulation, and a gigantic exercise in trial and error. I rounded off these models by throwing myself a challenge I knew was far outside of my depth; A bipedal rig, cloth, mechanical hand modeling + rigging, artificial muscle movement, a tool to wield, and an exaggerated human form to the entire thing. It took time (and long nights of frustration and research) but I managed to eventually meet my own self imposed challenge.
The story behind these guy's design will be included in that fictional product catalog when I get it finished (among the other six hundred things to do).
