That's a cool concept, love it so far. Kind of reminds me of the Pixar lamp but only cooler. Hope to see more work on this in the future.

hey i would really advice you to use reference or have some kind of concept drawn out that way you will have a clear cut goal of what you want and wont waste so much time on guessing on where you want it to go
