Let me start by saying that I have vitually zero sculpting ability with blender yet.
I'm working on it. But in the meantime, I needed to make a mini called "Kishlee Security Robot" for a Starfinder game.

So here we are. This model was primarily made from other's hard work.

It doesn't look like the art for the monster at all, but I was in a hurry. So this is 'creative liberty' to make the technology look "alien".
