#375 Droog Robot

Holy crap, an update! I think about robots still and want to make more, just find that when I doodle things they aren't robots. But that changed today, quick doodle on a 3x5 index card during a meeting. Droog robot, possibly going for a spot of ultraviolence.

So yeah, there is a robot, first for 2013 and first in over a year. Still looking for funds to buy a new welder, then real fun can begin.

#351 Doodles

Sheet of doodles done today trying to think up some robot ideas.

#338 Screwing Around

Another weekend, another bunch of home projects. Some leftover screws, scrap wood and some clips accented by pencil outline.

#294 Juggling Robot

Looking for a robot on a unicycle juggling? Look no further!


Watercolor pencil with pencil outlines, I am still figuring out the watercolor pencils, think I should have roughed this first with the pencil then used the watercolor to do the details. More practice.

#264 The Sabertooth Robot

Today's robot is an homage to Mike Russell's Sabertooth Vampire character based on a twitter sketch request.
Mike does Culturpulp features (with the awesome Mr. Do and Mr. Don't) in the Oregonian as well as movie reviews and other ventures. He's @culturpulp on twitter
The Sabertooth Robot.

#245 Disapproving Bot Disapproves

Disapproving Bot Disapproves. Your actions only compute in disapproval.

Pencil and pen sketch done during a telephone conference. Ink smeared when I erased the pencil. Yesterdays bot today.

#234 Happy Bot

This bot puts on a happy face!

Sketch done around a small smiley sticker.

#226 Survey Bot

Here is yesterday's bot, finished it but didn't get it posted. Pen and pencil shaded survey-ish looking robot. Today's robot will be later.

#189 5 minute sketch bot

Today I have another long day ahead so I cranked out this sketch then penned it in roughly. I will probably visit this one again for a coloring job. Shape inspired by the desk lamp in my hotel room.

#187 Lil' Miss Cutie Bot

So the hotel I am staying at had one of those toddlers and tiaras pageants going on this weekend. Very high on the creepy factor IMO, I just don't understand tarting up your daughter ala Jon Benet, not to mention that serious gender binary bias.
A quick doodle this morning with a more acceptable tiny tiara contestant, Lil' Miss Cutie Bot, programmed for cuteness and less of a creepiness factor provided you aren't creeped out by little robots. 2"x1" pencil sketch.

#168 Out of work robot

Will compute for power.

#158 Basketbot

College basketball is back on TV tonight, so my attention is diverted. Here's a quick sketch of what would be a very unfair robot, swatting that shot away.

#102 Gift Bot (Box)

It's a gift bot full of love (or WUV!). Gift for my dear wife on the celebration of our 15th wedding anniversary this week (in the box, not the box itself!).



Gift box, pen/pencil, feet from Ikea (drawer pulls), antennae wire and wire.

#33 Robot Butler

It's hot (95 today in Portland), I have no AC in my home office and I'm tired. Here's a robot butler to serve you a drink.

#28 Last second doodle

I'm pretty tired tonight but I had to get something out. So here's a robot with a Snidely Whiplash mustache.

#27 Disco Bot Likes Disco Music!

Taking some inspiration from Love Boat and Futurama (Isaac and I-Zak) I bring you Disco Bot. Been falling back on sketches this week, will work on some bots of more substance during the 3 day weekend.

#22 Mug Shots

I'm thinking I'll do a series of Robot Mug Shots over the course of the year.

This first one appears to be a wanted military robot gone rogue.



Pen and colored pencil, added background in photo software.

Also I'd like to say a special thanks to Miles at The Daily Robot. I ordered an awesome Ray-Gun Schematic print and another print from him. He also added another print as a daily robot to daily robot goodwill gesture - and I totally appreciate it! Go on over and take a look at his awesome work.

#10 Vuvuzela!

Is that a swarm of bees? No it's Vuvuzela Bot celebrating the Robo World Cup!



Penned over pencil sketch, I need a new scanner so this is a photo of the sketch with eraser crumbs still on it.

#4 Robot High is tough for Nerdbots

Poor Nerdbot, always being chased down by the larger industrial bots and made to do their calculations lest it be placed in a recycling bin. It's enough to make it lose control of its emission system.



Colored pencil and ink done from a prototype sketch in my little sketch book.
