I'm drawing robots that've influenced my life! Since we're starting in chronological order, here's the first three, mostly from my earlier childhood. Each are named, with their background and timeframes added! Ramble under the cut.
[PART 1] <> [PART 2 [TBA]] <>
HOOO boy! So! This started because I started reminiscing on just how many robotic/synthesite characters I love. It's been a lifelong theme with me. So why not do art of every single major one?
Tiny is where it started for me. Little Robots was something me and my siblings all grew up on. There were so many reruns of that show, lol. Tiny is so joyous and whimsical, it's hard not to enjoy drawing him. And I really did enjoy drawing him! Precious baby boy who's done no wrong.
As for Zane, I specifically picked his S4-S7 era design, because it's the most nostalgic to me. It's what I really remember making me appreciate "chrome-faced" styled robots. And that was when I watched Ninjago the most! I've sort of fallen out of touch with the series, but no matter what, Zane will have a space in my heart.
Technically, NIMROD isn't a robot. He's a sentient supercomputer from the Cold War and he's a maths teacher. But shh. Let us just appreciate this sassy old man. Ever seen a fridge give you diabolical side-eye? He was the most difficult to draw, and far too large to fit fully in the frame, so you're getting the perspective of a Strange Hill student who fucked their maths class.
