Black Smith was my first piece in Zbrush, which designed as the main character for my indie game SMITHS. The character is a panzer repair crew cyborg equipped with a panzer crew uniform of West German. Inspired by a Shakespeare BBC Drama Henry the IV, I chose its main actor as the facial reference for Smith.

Smith's equipment is a large Syringe Device that can be destructive as well as creative. The equipment could penetrate and absorbed elements around, therefore new materials generated. The tank track at the back of Black Smith belonged to a King Tiger, which provided electricity to his prosthetic arm.
