A Merry belated Christmas and a Happy early New Year! A friend of mine was sending his brother to Otakon as a Christmas present and asked me to draw something to commemorate this event (and further surprise his brother). He wanted something crazy. We have a running joke in which I refer to his brother as a robit (robot) so we decided on a picture of his brother as a robit (robot) at Otakon. I went for a caricature style by combining a realistic head and a cartoon body, and paired it up with a Japanese advertisement-type style for the background. (He wanted something crazy so I gave him crazy!) Sooo happy to use my facial drawing skills for something outside of the classroom! Below you can see the steps I took to complete the finished piece:
Step 1: Draw out the Robit!
Step 2: Bring into Flash and fancy it up digitally!
Step 3: Awesome final image! The top reads "Robo Alex is here!" and the bottom reads "Large random kanji!" (Yes I know they aren't all kanji, there's a bunch of kana there too, but really, it's not supposed to make sense lol)
This project was a lot of fun to do. I'll have to do more in the future!
