ROBOT :O

ANOTHER concentration piece.
before you all go shouting out "ITS THE IRON GIANT!" (especially those of you who know how much I love that movie) I should say that if I was inspired by anything, it was definately Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky". The Laputa robots with all the moss on them, you know. I thought that was just so cool :D
wasn't even thinking of the IG untill someone thought it was him. haha.

everytime I see this now, I think of that movie Cadet Kelley because it ws playing while I finished the coloring. anyone remember that movie? Back from the day when Disney had good made-for-television movies...like the "Thirteenth Year" and that Boogiman one that made me afraid of the space beneath my bed for like three years.
</tangent>

markers and oil paints.
sorry about the perspective. I was going for something different and got lost.

XD Castle in the sky was my first thought, I love Miyazaki's works.

Love the BG! I think you did wonderfully on the perspective.

Everything is brought together really well, I love that the touch of red doesn't overpower everything else.

Keep up the beautiful work.

Uuuuh, I thought of Iron Giant. And I've only seen it once... when I was 12.

VARY NICE, THO. <3 I love all the moss everywhere, it really ties everything together. :)

♪Truly, madly; don't you know I hardly sleep anymore? Again it's after four. I go slightly crazy nightly thinking of how to win your love. But it's through star dust I imagine us; if only sleep would come. ♫

LISTEN TO WAT I TELL YO!
Honestly, it's just a super generic design. You could say it's Brian Despain, Iron Giant, or Castle in the sky if you wanted too. I think people just immediately think it's the IG because he's the most notable robot to utilize these stereotypical robot characteristics

In all honestly, i saw the preview and was "OMG! TINMAN!

Quite honestly, I'd rather not have a heart than watch it smash to pieces like that.
:iconleila-dinthalion:
Mossy robots? ...

But I remember Thirteenth Year and Cadet Kelly! I actually liked those movies. *sigh* Why Disney, why?

First thing this reminded me of was the Wizard of Oz's Tinman. He was stranded, frozen in a forest for who knows how long, forgotten. He even has the heart in his chest, like how the tinman was looking for a heart!

Why in the world wouldn't we want to solve world hunger, cure all diseases, and promote world peace?

Oh wait, that's right.
How would we make money?
:iconsolemnsally:
lol. that's actually who I associate the design with most xD When I was painting in his flowers, I was tempted to give him an ax!
