Jam 11 - Mecha Month

[em...]

This month is Mecha Month - the title says it all. Robots, androids, cyborgs
- if it's metallic, it's in. If anyone even feels like doing gadgets and
vehicles, then that's alright too.

To start, from wildCATS, Maxine Manchester AKA Ladytron:


(I should have put some highlights on her eyebrow piercings - oops!)

[RodGuen]

Hi folks, I finished this off about a week ago. If I hadn't had the intention of putting on this thread I probably would have never got it finished! It's my own design, I'll try and post some more recognisable characters; if time is on my side!

Great looking piece Euan, master of the pencil portrait!.The tonal work is awesome.

[booga]

euan
another great choice and another kick-ass drawing from you.
love the tonals on that one....the bouncing light from behind became your signature.
you know how to light a character and i'm very sensible to that...now, i know it's gonna sound bad the way i'm gonna put it, but i really would like to see more experiment with the way you light a character...cause i think it will be mind blowing just the same while exploring different moods.
hoow! now it sounds like a crit ...i assure you it's not.

[me am bizarro]

here are a couple older ones from me, i will try and do something new for this month

[em...]

RodGuen - Cheers. I hate you too You gonna do something this month? I've never seen anything mechanical from you; Nick - Really spectacular work. Beautifully rendered; booga - Thanks, Olivier. You're right of course - I do need to try a little more variation in lighting effects; me am bizarro - Cool stuff. I really like your take on Threepio and Artoo. I was thinking of doing them myself, but I may keep it until a Star Wars jam when the next movie comes out (May 2005, I think)

[i like art]

Here are a couple from me. I made these a little while back. Hope you like.

[Cornflakekid]

Wow! This thread is off to a great start.
Some really good stuff.

Here's my contribution......

[spideyman]

Really nice start, i dont draw stuff like this often, guess im gonna have to try to get something out by the end of the month, till then something from early this year, you may have seen it before...

[borism]

hm. this is a 30 min piece entitled "Nasdaq Down Three Points"..it's for a dinky school auction, any suggestions for prices?

[VoteQuimby]

Cool thread. Here's a Trap Jaw I started tonight. I'm gonna have to fix some of the inking in ai and hopefully get a colored piece done this week.

[JR, Monsterboy]

Drew this a number of months ago, but it's still one of my faves due to it's subject matter. The live-action Japanese Spider-man and his giant robot Leopardon!

[polarity]

I did this one ages ago but it still makes me smile
I'lll have something new done for this month

[em...]

i like art - Cute and very effective designs; Cornflakekid - I imagine an entire city block suffering from a power shortage due to this guy ; spideyman - A sad and melancholy 'bot, playing with his joystick. Very emotive; borism - Fun pic. I have to know - what's he having for breakfast? VoteQuimby - Excellent Trap Jaw. Look forward to the finished piece; JR, Monsterboy - Nice work on your pic. You've done a really good job on getting across the sense of scale between the two characters; polarity - Totally adorable. There is so much about this that is great - the cute girl, the robot aping her pose, the other 'bot fainting.
