NIDARAM ART (Nick Maradin)

Welcome! This is mainly an art blog. I'll be posting new pieces here, both personal and professional. I love robots, mecha, anime, sci-fi and anything related. I especially like weird or unusual designs.

Latest piece: Space shooter robot!

[nidaram]

Space shooters, PS1-era.

Pew pew!

NEW ARTS.

The burnt-out landscape offers nothing but an eerie silence. A smoky fog hangs in the air. Suddenly, an enemy boss appears! If our party of heroes can't defeat the Ghost Robot, they'll be the newest residents of the Grisly Graveyard. (The Musketeer can't seem to catch a break.) Each character can be equipped with a weapon, an accessory, and a power-up badge to grant special abilities.

Thank you!

What's underneath the castle? Apparently, a lot of blue rocks and junk. A group of enemies blocks the only path out of the caves. Our party has a decision to make (they're going to fight, because it's a video game).

This is for fans of Super Mario RPG and PS1-era RPGs.

Background artwork from the fictional "Gems of Castelaria" role playing video game. Expanded, revised edition now in glorious 4:3! What's inside the ruins? Will Our Hero try to avoid encounters along the way, or is he ready to face combat and gain experience? Don't forget to check the treasure chests! Features two fully-rendered dimensions.

Meet me when the sun is in the western skies The fighting must begin before another someone dies Cross bows in the fire light Green sleeves waving Madmen raving Through the shattered night -Rainbow: "Sixteenth Century Greensleeves"

Spooky black frame made from odds and ends.

Not grey enough.

Another custom mecha design for the Theos Ke Polemos science fiction world. This is a small scale (6 to 10 feet tall) semi-autonomous unit designed with heavy customization and personalization in mind. It is both a combat-ready bodyguard and an art product ideal for the most conspicuous consumer. This illustration features the "Sundance" armor set. This is a melee unit with a floating shield that can protect various parts of the body or be used as an offensive weapon. The layout of this piece is intended to resemble print ads for mountain bikes and other high-end sports equipment.

It is both a combat-ready bodyguard and an art product ideal for the most conspicuous consumer. This illustration features the "Grasshopper" armor set. This is a medium-range unit with recon drones. The chisel and gun both attach to a universal clamp. The layout of this piece is intended to resemble print ads for mountain bikes and other high-end sports equipment.

Enemy boss robot for my "Gundam"-style series. Finally done. Slowpainting. Lots of hours. I wanted it to look like old computers and SNES Starfox.

My amazingly talented best friend Nick made me a set of Doctor Who cookie cutters for Christmas, back in 2009 (clockwise from left; Dalek, Tardis, K-9, and “slightly 3D Tardis”).  I love these things so much, you don’t even know. So for the 50th Anniversary (and the Who Party with Katie and Julie!) I OBVIOUSLY had to make some really detailed cookies! He came over and helped to decorate some of them. We had a blast (and excuse me if those Daleks aren’t amazing!). 

[nidaram]

My friend and I finally baked and decorated Doctor Who cookies using the cookie cutters I handmade for her!

WIP TEST LAYOUT : )

The bottom half would be one of the "sides" of a rather THICK garage kit box.

I wasn't happy with the original GM so I drew it new legs, arms, and front skirts and made some optional gear.

Hey someone accidentally put little anime girls in these cool robot drawings. Don't worry I took care of that for you guys.
