Morton.

I think I talked before about my obsession with model sheets. Currently I’m obsessing over 1930′s designs. These guys were inventing the stuff we’re all taking for granted right now! I wanted to hit some of that in a character with a few modern touches. Hope you like this stuff too!

*Update*
Hey guys, thanks so much for the comments and emails. We got a lot of inquiries about whether we had any plans to use him or if he was up for grabs. We have big plans for this little bot! I put together a 3D model of him last night to see if he would hold up. Pretty fun to mess with a simple character.

Space Camp: Day 4,538

I figure Space Camp isn’t just for kids. After several years, maybe even decades, students are finally given the opportunity to chart new territory in the name of the school. The galaxy is a pretty big place so I would imagine there’s plenty to uncover and all sorts of ground to stick flags into.

*Update*
Thanks for all the really kind words everyone. I added a little process jpeg to show our general workflow of rough to line to color.

Party onward!

TractorBot

This weekend I took my kids over to a train museum which was in its off season. They were in repair mode awaiting the spring when people would start coming and riding the rails. It was great, no one was around, the guy was super nice and let us climb in and out of all the trains. Then I noticed this 1930′s old tractor off tucked away rotting its way out of existence. I thought it was time to give it another shot at life. I present to you, TractorBot!

Gorullian Zombie Henchmen

Unfortunately what Greg failed to mention in his last post is three members of the crew have already been infected by the space zombie plague. Left for dead during a battle in the lower intestinal track, the 3 newly appointed Gorullian servants have been ferociously tracking their old team mates. So much for “no man….er..alien….left behind!”

There’s a score to settle and it sure ain’t going to be pretty.

Space Creatures

I don’t have any real reason for these. It’s just an exercise on shapes. I like to just get a few wacky ideas down and try them out. I did start to imagine all these guys as the crew of a space ship bound for the interstellar space station Arullion 5. But before they could get there, a hideous Arbrinian Space Eel swallowed them up. And that they are currently battling their way towards its cerebral cortex in order to stop the beast’s telepathic signals from unleashing a horde of Gorullian Zombie Henchman on Planet Quislar, all under the plans of galactic domination by the villainous Baroot Lord Tarnivious! But like I said, no real reason for these.
