#35 Oil Painting (via GIMP)

Since I've already done some recycling this week I recycled again. Took my robot butler and cleaned the base image up in GIMP - an open source photo editor/image manipulator. Applied some background and textures and ran through a filter to get an oil painting effect.

Road trip soon but robots will continue

I'll be making a road trip next week and may not have net access a couple days but I will still make a robot that day (probably drawn on days I fly). I will post them when I can get access again.

Now a month in I'm happy I've been able to post something every day. Not happy that I haven't branched out much but I still have the better part of 11 months to do so. With summer kicked in and work, the big challenge is time+motivation. I spent most of 30 years living in the desert or on the gulf coast and no longer tolerate heat like I used to so when the mercury creeps up above 90 I become a melted lump.

Thanks to the followers who've stuck with it this far, I'll keep it up and hope to polish my offerings and improve my techniques!

#34 Stencil

Again inspired by the Skullmaster I did a stencil of #30 Lego Bot.



Another stencil will happen, something different than a silhouette.

#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.

#32 Pipe Cleaner

So the actual new name for these would be 'Chenille Stems' but when I was growing up they were just pipe cleaners. My dad always had a pack of them, little yellow paperboard envelope.

#31 CYBORG PANDA

What is more disturbing than a cyborg panda? How about a cyborg panda with a wrist mounted projectile launcher!



Squeeze stress panda assimilated with some computer parts.

#30 Lego Bot

One month in! Dug out the Legos and got to building after hunting for certain pieces. I may revisit Legos again later as there are just too many good pieces for bot making.

#29 Parrot Bot

I sorted through my big box o' computer parts today (giant rubbermaid tote) and pulled some things out for this project. Came up with this Intel powered thing, which after I was done looked sort of like a parrot, so there it is. "Squawk! Polly want a stop bit!"

#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.
