Making of: 222



This was for the ImagineFX weekly challenge and the job was to design a robot which would replace infantry. I designed this android which was partly (subconsciously) inspired by Iron man designs. The actual sketch came around very quickly and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to modify it much anatomically (usually my sketches seem fine but when I scan them I have to draw them all over again because of all the errors :D ). 
 After scanning I painted on top of the sketch in grayscale and also did some linework. After that came all the coloring and textures. I didn't have time to paint a background in that short competition time, so I used a simple, boring gradient ramp. After the challenge I did the background in 3ds Max, placed the android painting on a plane as a texture and worked a long time trying to get the perspective right. After that I rendered the background and modified it heavily in Photoshop so that it didn't feel too out of place with the android. I am pleased with the outcome, even though I now see some design errors :).
