Mech-Kelpie
Giddy up
A Kelpie is not a Seahorse, a Kelpie is instead a spirit from folklore that can take the form of a horse that when you try to ride it will drag you down into the water and drown you. However when I was thinking of names for this mechimal this was the first name that I actually liked for it.
The inner structure materials are a set of standard metallic textures, the outer shell though makes use of a translucent shader as part of it’s setup.
The spherical corals are made by deforming the mesh using a texture and then using a rusted (oxidised) iron and copper material, with the oxidisation colouring being focused in the creases.
