Woodbot Mk 2.0

Hope everyone out there had a good 3-day weekend! And if you happen to be one of those poor saps that worked, I hope you got time-and-a-half pay. Anyways, between working the gallery, having dinner with the Doji crew, getting my MacBook Pro battery fixed, buying canvasses, catching up on Weeds, running, cooking breakfast & cleaning my house, I managed to make progress on my Woodbot. Progress shot is below:

Most of the work was me figuring out how to detail the leg. I'm pretty happy with what's there so far, but there's a few more details I need to flesh (errr..wood) out. The little guy on the top is there to suggest scale. Hopefully when I'm done and place this guy in his background, it'll be a bit more obvious how large he is. Enjoy!

Woodbot Mk 1.0

Yesterday I had the pleasure of having a Starbucks session with my good friends Albert and Eileen, which was one of the most productive sessions I've had in a long time. Few things are better than people watching while making art. So without further ado, here is the product of said session: Woodbot Mk 1.0

The inspiration for this piece is rooted in the short movie A Tale of Two Robots, which was in a collection of animated shorts titled Robot Carnival. This particular collection has a bit of significance, because it was one of the first animes I've ever seen. So in honor of that, I decided to create my own giant wooden robot. Her legs and body need to be detailed a bit more and I want to add a giant weapon of sorts, maybe a spear or something but I'm really happy with how it's coming together.

I think Giant Robots are going to be my next "thing" so look forward to some more, ok? Next up is going to be Albert's Gummy Bot. Peace!
