C2-B5

[KyleKatarn1995]

Since this new Imperial astromech droid was announced and will appear in Rogue One, I thought I'd be cool to reskin R2-D2 with an Imperial black color all over his body. And that way he'll be known as C2-B5.

There's already the imperial R2 unit based off of the ones from the OT films in the game. Could reskin that.

 

 

 

 

After spawning those, it really made me want new R2 models though

I'd recommend this to anyone looking to try their hand at a first skin - a simple, straightforward request that is easy to accomplish.

I would've already imagined that it's ACTUALLY R2-D2 being colored in black.

Believe it or not, I used several layers...and I zoomed in on the reference picture several times to make sure I got all the details correct. Although relatively easy to make, I wanted to make sure he was accurate to the shot. I utilized both the original R2-D2 textures and the shipped Imperial textures and sort of did a blend, and then I went about making things the correct shade of black and silver.

 

 

 

 

Woops, I got the name backwards by accident. Let me fix.

 

Edit 2 - fixed name. This is what happens when I'm tired.

Aww Yeah!!! This looks awesome! We got ourselves the C2-B5 looking all Imperial-like with his new black colors!
