Did some sketches of the little monster from the animation I posted earlier. His working name is “Rodney”. He reminds me a little bit of Bill Peet’s style (total accident, but it probably slipped in from my childhood memories. I think I might have read ALL his children’s books when I was small). He came out looking kind of like the monster version of a pink chinchilla.
Also, doodled RhinoBot. Really need to work on my mechanical stuff, it’s just not something I have a natural aptitude for. Figured I could try to ease into it by taking an organic concept that I am comfortable with (a rhino) and turning it into something mechanical. Rhinobot is generally used as a siege weapon- its snout is actually a diamond edged drill that can be used equally as a ram. Its single “eye” is actually a high powered light- so Rhinobot’s drivers can see where they’re going. Essentially, it’s a slightly more modern version of a trojan horse (but with ramming power, reinforced metal sides and the ability to cram a whole army inside instead of just a few greeks). So actually, more like the bastard child of the USS Monitor and the Trojan Horse…
need to do something more interesting with its legs, maybe with more of the prosthetic cheetah style- since you can do more innovative things with robots than you can with organic creatures…
