Hi! Im going for team Sci-Fi with my character!

The Idea I had was for a kind of cyborg strider that went through galaxies helping and teaching societies that are starting out but are brutally harsh in their views on society, eliminating any that they think will be a threat in the future but nurturing those they see promise in.

Here are my initial sketches:

Small Update and Character Background:
Near the end of human existence, these drones were sent out to help foster new civilisations across the galaxy. They carry all of the collective knowledge that humanity had built up until its end, in hopes of carrying on some form of a legacy.

Encased within their bodies, however, is the brain and mind of human, but long forgotten after thousands of years of travel, the person it once was no longer matters. The lack of self did originally send it insane, but even insanity can get tiring after so long. Now with only it's goal of fostering new civilisations, it travels around giving aid and care when needed, whether it be direct physical assistance, or bestowing knowledge.

I found myself disliking the helmet design so I've been thinking about new ideas for the head, i kinda like using anatomy for inspiration, although right now it's still kinda looking a bit boring, will keep working on it!

The armor deisgn is perfect! For the helmets, its reminding me of zenyatta hahaha, but the lines and those creases are making it look real tough and interesting! Keep it up man

Thank you guys!
One last update before bed, in a kinda counter productive move I've decided to strip the clothing off the body to get a better idea of what to add I then decided to add tone it and the original sketch as well since I was curious.

Decided that a more lanky elongated body would suit more so i decided to see how it would look if i simply stretched the limbs, i then decided to play with the segmenting.

This then led to me looking at the feet, since they seemed oddly too mechanical compared to the mixed biological-mech look of the body, trying to find a type of foot that would be practical as well as aesthetically pleasing.

I'm currently still in the design phase, since i kinda want the Arc Drone to look slightly more epic, i'm also trying so hard not to make my guy look like a zenyatta rip off haha.
