IF: Contained (Not your average Dot robot)

by Dot 12 January 2009 662 views No Comment

So sorry for being MIA this weekend. I apparently caught a little bug, but I’m better now. So for Illustration Friday this week, I give you not your average Dot robot (yes, a tad sexier and slinkier), contained, as comic art typically is, in a box.

contained

I love the sketch, but I’ve recolored her 3 times trying to get the right feel –she seems a little too sterile. Still may try another idea.

EDIT:
Here’s a totally different coloring job. Whatcha like better?

    Woooo, sexy! I have a feeling there will be a lot of rush deliveries on her.

    I like the warmth and texture of the bottom version. On the other hand, robots are generally sterile, aren’t they? Why take it out.

    Glad you’re feeling a little better now.

    Oh, I love #2 – it’s more. . .um. . . oh I don’t know, character. #1 is everything a sexy girl robot should be, but #2 – come on – she’s got gusto!!

    I love your new style here.
    This lovely sketch indeed comes with clever vibrant splashes.
    It’s just too hard to resist to ponder another minute before leaving your blog.
    Just too good to comprehend:)

    Well, that was a clever idea for Contained! If I had to pick a favorite, I would say the bottom one because of the colors :)

    Hope you’re feeling better now. I love the second one best – the colours and textures and generally the more free sketchy feel. It’s great.
