Description Was most fortunate to be asked to write a chapter for the upcoming Digital Painting Techniques Vol. 4 so I painted this as a tutorial piece to demonstrate my approach, painting metals, liquids, calculating reflections and yes, illustrating psychotic pets.

Do not build one of these at home... water and electricity together are not your friend.

Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop.

Its what happens when they go a little mad-science and read too many engineering books

The robot initially started as a homage to those old kids toy robots, but got more steam punky as I worked on the sketch.

No mention of Bob the Goldfish?

Funny, when I told my friend about my initial sketch back when I first drew it, she mentioned that show. Never seen it though, but I did laugh at its title!

Hergman In reply to Loopydave [2012-01-13 14:44:49 +0000 UTC]

yeah, its not too bad but it has an odd timeslot so i don't really watch it

also, most of the time, the titular goldfish is out of his fishbowl according to wikipedia

Never leave the fish bowl close to your engineering textbooks...oops! Awesome work as always! I'll keep an eye out for that publication, is it a magazine?

Loopydave In reply to plaidklaus [2012-01-13 14:27:18 +0000 UTC]

Its an annual type book - Ive seen the previous volumes on Amazon.. think serge (papaninja) did something in one which means I really should chase down some of the previous books sometime.
