ROBOTU DES

Here's another something I've been working for a couple of weeks.

One of the main antagonists that's going to appear in the new story are robots or remote controlled drones as the bad guys or lackeys and whatnot.

the idea inspired by Elysium, the one reference I really like because it features security robots that are actually looking current, as in today. I then figured out that the designs for it are mostly based on current examples and experiments of actual existing robots today such as the DARPA Atlas robot and used current tech from cpu fans to factory arms as hands and such that immediately feels very relatable. 

These designs were done also in Flash and it's surprisingly very easy because of how you can split the objects apart, like layers on photoshop but with less management, making it easy to move around and such. 

While there's still much to fix with it, I'm still happy how this comes out and will use as first reference until something better comes up.

PS: prolly gonna need more wires around everywhere as well as stars and stripes or something.
PSS: Also, I'm new to this robots thing so yeah.. give me time ;o;

Example of full body,

Example of separate zoomed body parts for easy details referencing,

endless tiny updates

I'm sure I haven't showed these before so here is something I've managed to finish during breaks at work.

The female on the left is the earliest, made last year around december (i think). Haven't updated it much since last finished but am reworking on the design because somehow it still doesn't work quite right just yet. She is one of the protagonists of "The Golden Earth" but is not yet used for the current short story.

The male on the right is done just today.. (surprisingly faster than usual, may I add) Perhaps because I have all the desired references ready as well as the early sketch for the character himself which makes it easy to be done directly. He is the main protagonist for the current short story.

Also, for gun nerds, yes, that is a modified Derringer Cop pistol in his hands.

Now, I just noticed myself that I've been uploading these things way too often. Reason being is that I'm still working on a lot of other stuff of the story including setting, locations and designs for other things in which I haven't shown.

The more important part is that I really wanted to create this work slowly because I wanted to make sure everything looks right and is not rushed like Liga Prajurit was. I've just realized myself as well as a lot of my readers out there who noted me of its flaws and all was mainly because I rushed and cut pages, backgrounds, details and whatnot. I was making sure I am not doing that again. Also the more reason why I haven't been keeping this blog running with weekly posts as before.

For this next work, I am very careful and even though that may cause me to miss my intended local comic competition, I think it's better for me to do this one time right.. and better.

PS: it was really really reaally fun doing these though. especially the male one because managed to realize the character from grayscale pencils to coloured flash feels great. ;)
