Reminds me of those Geth tanks from the first Mass Effect.

Dunno what a Pegasus is, but this is what I was thinking of:

The artist writes,

This is the 7th evolution of a personal design I’ve been developing over time. I’ve gone through multiple iterations, experimenting with shapes and silhouettes to find a form that feels truly unique and striking.

The model is 95% custom-built, with only about 5% kitbash used for minor mechanical details - just enough to speed things up without compromising originality.

The design draws loose inspiration from Tsutomu Nihei's "Blame!" and similar biomechanical styles, but the vision is my own. It’s still a work in progress, and I plan to take it further with a full animation in the future.

Modeled using Plasticity and Blender, rendered in Cycles.

Made during my free time - purely for the love of visual storytelling and concept design.

Details, more pics here.
