And Everything Else

Aaaand now for the second half of my revival post. I've been doing some designwork for Carse & Waterman, but they'd like me to keep things under wraps for now, so here are some non-work drawings.

First off, this is something I drew for my brother for Christmas. It's of his Gryphon character, Rhys, and I had it printed onto a mousemat for him so it'd also have a practical use. It was pretty cool seeing my artwork printed onto a physical object, and the present was a nice surprise for him.

Hard all sad and covered in dust and cobwebs. Basic story behind this is that he's stubborn - very, very stubborn, and after getting into some arguments with the 'bots in charge, claimed he could do fine without repairs and maintenance. He was fine for a while, but eventually the strain put on his parts due to his size and weight caused his body to just stop responding one day, leaving him unable to move at all. Still too stubborn for his own good, he refused to alert his brothers and had to wait until they got concerned and came looking for him. Which, considering he was known to stay in sleep mode for months at a time, would be a while.

My Tyrantrum in my copy of Pokemon Y, Chompy. I love my giant prissy dinosaur.

Pizzawoman, my made-up robot master from the "draw yourself as a RM" challenge of last year. I was really happy with her design, so it seemed a shame to only have that one picture of her.

Silly TF2 comic making fun of the fact I have a habit of accidentally pressing the wrong voice commands, leading to me accusing my teammates of being spies instead of thanking them. 

The Z and X keys are too close to each other.

Some sort of weird half-and-half idea I got involving Ivan and Percy as their robot selves. Since they started out as ideas for how I'd imagine the two Searchman heads to look if they had humanoid appearances under the helmets, I figured I'd do a comparison thing showing their helmet on one side and their helmetless look on the other.

Background texture is from here.

My friend made a silly GIF of his character's eyebrows rotating, so in response I made a silly GIF of Hard stealing said eyebrows to add to his own. 

Basically I just made it to make fun of how huge I draw Hard's eyebrows.

Cute Hornet doodle done with the binary brush. Gave coloured lines another try and ended up with an almost sprite-ish look. I haven't made a sprite in ages; I ought to have another go sometime.

Trying out Posemaniacs here. I don't do life drawing as often as I should and it shows. :c

Repeating Searchman background made for my Tumblr. These guys are too much fun to draw.

And last but not least, I forgot to put these in my last post, so here are some very beautiful doodles of Ivan and Airman.

Various Other Doodlings

And now for some drawings unrelated to robots. 

There was a post floating around on Tumblr about how you could tell when a shark was actually aiming to bite something, as they'd thrust their jaws out. The above picture was shown, and it looked so silly to me that I couldn't help but do a doodle.

He's the happiest shark in the world. :> So happy that he... apparently wants to bite something. Oh dear.

More TAC stuff up next. I'd been thinking about Tlun's species, and decided that he's actually pretty scrawny compared to the average. His pack ended up abandoning him as a result of it, and he ended up seeking refuge in an abandoned village and hasn’t really left it since. He got used to solitude, and so wasn’t very happy when it was disturbed by Zombie’s arrival during the events of TAC.

I don't think even Zombie would want to mess with the big guy on the left. (Biscuit probably would, though.)

Biro doodlings of some of my monster characters. I still haven't thought of a name for the weird dragon/mermaid hybrid.

With the newest series of Pokemon out, I couldn't help but doodle my new favourite final starter evolution, Chesnaught. What's not to like about a chesnut-themed bearded armadillo knight?

I found this saved on the laptop I usually use when I'm using the Cintiq and I can safely say I don't remember drawing it. I must have been so blinded by its beauty that my mind couldn't take it and repressed the memory.

And last but not least, a drawing of myself as a pepperoni pizza because why not. 

Some Doodlings

Time for a few little drawings I've done when not working on rigs.

This was something I did for a little art challenge that was going around Tumblr, where you're linked to a random generator site and it gives you a random Pokemon. You then have to draw that Pokemon three times, but in a way that each looks like a different, unique characte while still being identifiable. I got Snubbull, and these were the designs I ended up with. It's a neat little exaggeration/character design exercise, so I'll probably be doing this again at some point.

There's a funny little story behind these ones. The first drawing was initially a little monster I'd doodled, and I'd given it a silly face, as I'm wont to do. But then I decided that it wasn't actually a face - rather, a pattern on its stomach that just looks like a face. My friend then doodled the little jumpy rock-like creatures, and we decided that the monster preyed on the little rocks, but was too slow and cumbersome to actually catch them. So, it lures them over instead, since they're curious little things, and then tries to get them when it thinks it's close enough.

I'd also done a silly scribbly little doodle of my dragon/mermaid creature, and another of my friends said I should give it Percy's face just for the fun of it. I took that one step further and drew a mermaid Percy, because... well, why not?

I then doodled Splashwoman next to him, because she's supposed to be the only mermaid Robot Master. :>

And last but not least, some silly warm-up doodles I did of Zombie in different styles. He's a chubby little thing, so I decided to see how he'd look if he was more spindly and lizard-like.
