1 More Day Left!!!

I'm pretty pleased with how much work I have done in the last two days. I repositioned the Inventor's wife to better serve the story and composition. Now the good side is mirrored by the bad side. Before she was just a background character and not as integral to the story or taking any action. Now she is trying to stop the Inventor, her husband, from bringing his creation, their son to life, which will be used as a weapon by the evil man on the right. She also has her left hand her pregnant belly in a somewhat protective manner.

I also finally got around to the Robot Boy's heart/battery, which the inventor is grabbing. On my first try the heart looked too human, my second try it looked too much like the venom symbiote from "Spider-Man 3." The heart is rather large for a typical heart, but its not the entire object that goes into the robots for their energy source. As you can see its pretty much like a lava lamp in its form and movement.

In the middle there are the two angels of death, which will be more clear when I finished the lifeless robotic boy. The guard with the battle axe was inspired by a vulture and turned out rather nicely. His eyes are going to be blind and white with no color. I tried to make him as skeletal as possible to make him more like the Grim Reaper. The vulture guard is currently my favorite character in terms of personality and how he factors into the story.





So what I have left, the robot boy. Today I concepted (see above) out the robot boy's mechanics and inner weapon, which will reveal itself in his chest. The rib cage will be opened up like a pair of hands or angel wings if you will. The battery storage area is visually inspired by the biohazard symbol with a red light emitting from inside. The bones will be chrome/metallic. The muscles will be black/dark gray. Lastly the bomb/organs will be white.

I also have a flesh spray gun that I concepted earlier today, which is based off a paint spray gun. It does what its name implies, gives the robot flesh and a more human appearance.

After about two to three hours of drawing in the inner parts of the robot boy I can start coloring.
