robots eat metal! (resurrected!)

[Trashy]

I saw those vehicle concepts at IDW and fell in love with them. Gotta get involved in "deep" this upcoming week. Nice sb!

[Mark Bot]

2100 yeah i see where you're coming from. a proper anatomy course i need to take

jdeegz thanks for the tip. i guess i get kinda drawn into one shape/form pretty early on, definitely something to work on

Justin. Yep. i can understand that. This however was an experiment in undersea vessels, so hydrodynamics was a must.

Trashy thanks! i need to get back to drawing! ha...

-----------------
finally something to post. I've been spending too much time cycling and not enough time arting.
Hopefully i can figure out a happy medium. Here's some fun shape play.

[zenichi]

enjoyed your life sketches immensely, will look at the mecha next time, a bit of information overlaod at the moment, from looking at about 20 sketchbooks in a day. but rewarding, especially see how you progress in your life sketches. regards

[Mark Bot]

zenichi thanks!!

weekend sketches
shamanistic bird people
and a chtulu

[Mark Bot]

here's another page of bird peoples.
I decided on going for an Aztec/Mayan theme
continuing to fix anatomy issues with the figures and the bird skulls
also trying to generate usable tattoo themes as clothing is sparse at best.

enjoy

[AA-ron]

Designs are looking great! Do you plan on picking some of these and painting it?

[Lake]

commented on these in person... but bump.

[Mark Bot]

AA-ron I might paint some, depends if i get something i'm really happy with. Right now i'm just fishing, we'll see what turns up.

Lake thanks man, it was good seein ya at SG.

-----------------

More of the same, Working out tattoo locations/patterns and feather styles.
I know the details are king in this sort of stuff
i have little to work with so errors are accentuated to no end.

Poses are reffed from various sources, i'm not that good at anatomy yet.
need to work on hips.

[FightingSeraph]

Great stuff, ever considered making a spacecraft that actually looks like a fish of some sort?

[Mark Bot]

FightingSeraph the thought has definitely crossed my mind

-----------------------
environments and figures
..... ya!

[QETALIVAN]

wow! what a bunch of concepts!! I cant do technology stuff.....I envy you

[Mark Bot]

QETALIVAN thanks man. tech is easy once you learn perspective

----------------
still working out bird peoples. Trying to innovate in places without loosing the overall impact.
Horns? yeah sure why not. Also looking for basic costume ideas still.
Decided to ignore tattoos this time around and develop form more, Tattoos are easy additions later.

Enjoy

[AA-ron]

Really diggin those last two sketches, nice anatomy work.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

last couple of sketches here, really like the stuff!

[kidult]

Nice tones and design on those last 2...some of the proportions feel off but I kinda suck at that 2 so cant quite pin point it, but your did talk about working more on anatomy so keep it up! Nice lines in the ink stuff

[Mark Bot]

AA-ron thanks

Mischeviouslittleelf i'm workin on everything, glad you like it

kidult yeah, anatomy is tough. i'll keep chuggin on it.

-------------

not much to show for today. was at a friends all weekend in berkely, but we teamed up and flexed his maya muscle and got this churned out. I'll post some sketches tomorrow.

[Mark Bot]

yeah. so here's some more.... uhhhhhhhhhh. right
switched the helmets to bird heads. i dunno which i like more

[Mark Bot]

ship doodle.

playing in painter.

[Mark Bot]

here's today's

[roidvoid]

cool sketchbook.
are you a college student?

[Mark Bot]

roidvoid thanks. i graduated college a year ago with a BS in Industrial Design

------------
not too happy with this one, took longer than i wanted to get a good starting shape

[Mark Bot]

womens! doodle doodly.

[Mark Bot]

really. i have no idea what happened here.

[Mark Bot]

tell ya the truth... i like to draw stuff and things sometimes

[Max Martelli]

Looking good. I like the bird people. I think it would be cool if you gave them mannerisms like birds. Maybe they have jerky movements that mimic those of birds. You could study the behavior of birds and try to work some of that into their poses. Otherwise I like the way they are coming out so far.

Are you going to stick to the costume idea or are you going to go all out and make the people part bird? (Personally I like what your doing in both respects. I say explore them both to a degree, maybe they are part bird but also wear some trappings that give them the further look of a bird.)

Keep it up

[Mark Bot]

Max Martelli yeah dude. awesome ideas. i personally was going the same direction i just can't decide on what exactly i want to go with. yay indecisiveness...


------------
so i drew these things. iron man was one of them.....

[Mark Bot]

Here's some more scribbles for you!

[kidult]

mmmm....nice "scribbles".....got some great ideas and designs here. Just keep at those studies!

[Mark Bot]

kidult thanks dude. i definitely will

----------------------------

it's been a while! I've been busy being a dope and not doing anything of merit. But here's some that you might like. I've decided to work a lot more on this bird society, so expect more of that from here on out. I'm still working out the purpose, and the reasoning behind it all so we'll see where that goes, but hopefully we'll have something interesting in the end.

enjoy!

[Mark Bot]

here's a little update. ladies are fun to draw. Finally starting to settle down on an armor design theme.
