Entry for 3Dmodels/Hum3D challenge : Steampunk - New History. Modeled in Blender, rendered with Cycles, postpro with Gimp and DaVinci Resolve.
Newly modeled except for some background elements : locomotive and buildings model are from Sketchfab, cloud background from Unsplash, steel truss from own pack, and airship from past work.
Featuring a concept of old rotary telephone combined with mini-mech walker unit, had the idea inspired by past work of a mech walker which has top part that looked like an old phone (read more on the WIP thread in BlenderArtist forum).
Some references used in the making :
Clay render :
Turntable animation :
Individual and clay renders of the phone walker :

This is awesome Po. Probably some of your best work. Like everything about it including the briefcase thing and the pen. Very nice. Only thing is I feel the cups can use a bit more steam but that’s just me. nicely done!

Thanks, man! Agree with the steam, enjoyed making the briefcase too though the stitch pattern was a bit frustating, lol.

Incredible work sir! The attention to detail on this is wild. How long did it take for you to complete?
Now i’m imagining spam callers chasing me around the workshop

Thank you, kind Sir ! The whole timeframe for the contest is almost 3 months I think, already ‘wasted’ around a month trying to get a satisfying idea, so time left for actual work on the chosen concept is around 2 months.
No worry, it has built in call filtering function ! One commenter said he’s actually more worry about having a many-legged thingy on his desk … 
Wow. I can imagine this “mobile” phone crawling over to me as I take samples in the Martian soil. Seems one could design it for zero atmosphere and zero G lol!

Well, if you don’t mind a mechanical creepy-crawlie then it’s your astro-assistant 
- I would not mind at all. Looking forward to many bots in our future!
