Machine Artist Review

Mifes DF -- A Russian Based Artist who does a large selection of works. However, his mechanisms are quite organic in nature and have a very fluid form of motion. Below is an example of one of his sketches:

Mife's Mecha

The work here looks much like that of an insect, gathering depth in the object through shadows and light. In the line of works which inspire me, this would be the best example. There is form of hidden motion within the piece itself, and the dark, sketchy appearance only captured in this pre-rendered form offers a very dark and twisted appeal. This is the sort of style I wish to capture in my mechanisms.
