Fairy Robot color test

I did some coloring in of the fairly robot. Mostly so I could print it out and make a birthday card for a little friend of mine, but also to see if I like green wings.

Branching Out

Two sketches. I love them both and can imagine making robot fairies the subject matter of a very large painiting.

Paint Chip Robots

They help in the redecorating process.

Vector Robot

Still on the robot jag. I've painted four robots, plus the drawings and such. This is my first robot made entirely in Illustrator. Totally flat, but I like it. I am going to work on a shaded version next.

Space Robot!

Since I had my robot epiphany last week or so, I have drawn nothing but robots. I draw them, paint them, and photoshop them. Here is a combination drawn (bristol board and technical pen) and Photoshopped (scanned and then just run-of-the-mill paint bucket) robot. The funny thing is that this is not what the file looks like. I look at it in Windows picture browser or in Photoshop and it looks right (dark blue background, yellow stars, brownish grey moon surface, primary color robot flashy lights and such). But when I upload it here, it changes the colors up entirely. I've experience this a few times here and on my Cafe Press site, and I've never known exactly what does it. I usually resave the original file, and upload again, and that usually fixes it. But this time I decided I like it better this way!

I'd like to think this is what we will find when we try to colonize the moon.

Robots

I think I have discovered what I need to do to solve my Bobbsey Twins problem. Here's the problem: I can't draw. Most of the time, I can get around this little hurdle by drawing things that don't require representative precision. Like blobs, or imaginary flowers, or cartoonish chickens. But to pull off a comic book with no less than about 23 human characters is just beyond what I can do. And then I had a stroke of genius: Robots. That's the solution.
