Robot Protectors

I went back in one of my sketch books and dug up this cool looking Robot (Overlord) Protector. Just a doodle I did one day.

Green Guy Gets the Girl

gouache painting

Gouache on cardstock, cut to shape. Kind of a Heavy Metal-influenced piece. I was mainly interested in trying to get the translucent, kind-of-slimy skin texture looking right; the little dancing figure he’s holding was pretty much an afterthought.

Igor: Mad Scientist Lab Assistant Character Color Sketch

Cartoon "Igor" mad scientist sidekick/lab assistant character with test tube color sketch.

For this “Igor” type character (the trusty Mad Scientist lab assistant guy), I started out with a sketch from an evil clown character I created a few years ago. I wanted to work with some new painting styles in Adobe Photoshop, specifically staying away from the Dodge/Burn tools as they seemed to render colors with too much saturation, and in general are a poor excuse for building color, shading and highlights on your own.
