Description
Bipeds have to maintain balance, or they will fall over. It's harder when the floor is steeply sloped and covered with slippery snow. And, if you have long objects attached to your feet, it's nearly impossible!
Yet, this 'bot loves it, always takes the double-black-diamond runs - she has no fear! Since no other 'bots can achieve this feat, she's always in the "singles" line at the lifts... :-(
-*-
You might recognize that same primitive shape makes most of the figure - the arms, legs, torso and eyes are all copies of a distorted cylinder from Carrara 1.0. The rest is just good old Bryce primitives. The white material texture should really be improved, but it's perfect for a ski-outfit.

WOW, first thing that comes to mind: "what the hell was he smokin?"... but thats a dam good render. Excelent lemon job :)
Very active imagination, I presume. Another great image, Jim! This could be a rescue bot, with some added equipment on board? a shovel to dig me out?
Way cool and fun design - especially like the face and the addition of all the free hanging greebles. Rube Goldberg would of been proud!
Awesome model! Love this image!
Great fun image, but you're right about the colour! What if she gets burried in a snowdrift, or goes over a cliff? She'd be better off hazard orange, or perhaps lollipop pink. :')
Hmmm, I don't know, she's kinda flat chested.... :0) dlund has a point, a scarlet/dayglo yellow/black checkerboard color scheme would be cool. Now, about that mind-altering substance....
Love the way you lit it up on chest.Outstanding model.That's a good way to wipe out by plunging the skipoles onto the ski.
WOW WOW WOW and WOW! excellent robot! a retro look, and some good baroque modelling!, I'm really impressed, now just add the snow.....
Excellent modeling! My compliments to your imagination! I love your sence of the humor!
jet-propulsion, I assume, in order to avoid chair lifts. great modeling and idea.
absolutely fantastic! :)
You are a twisted man, Jim! I like it.
Wow! Amazing modeling and great character design...
Must have been plenty of fun and pleasure doing this botty mate. Very nicely done on all the details and little gadgets. Nice work pal!
technically I didn't understand a word (kll me dear ;)) but I know what I see impresses me a lot. I feel like he could move :)
WOW, must have taken ages to make this. Excellent modelling! Brilliant work Jim!
Man, what a cool modeling job. That must have taken ages to create but it has paid off nicely. Excellent work.
