Description So this is Marvin, the Paranoid Android, in a design that I quite like for him.
I had been looking around quite a bit and seen other people's work on him, and the variations.
More notably
's Marvin the Paranoid Android
and
someone else...Im pretty sure I thought I saw someone else's that had a similar design.
No matter though I'd like to think that this falls within the realm of being mine, without having to account for grievances to the extent that I had merely copied someone else's work. Which I'll have you know I am not wont to do.

Anyhow...I quite like the simple design here, and I tried to stay with Adams' original parameters, whereby it is stated that his parts seem to fit, but at the same time, look ill-fitting.


He's a fluffy little robot of indeterminable sorrow.

I love this. It has a lot of character. Even more so than the movie-version, even. Well done, sir!

Thats an amazing rendition of him! the entire pic just yells depressed..... yet functional. espechily like the hunched head/neck posture, very fitting, actually looks like he feels like he has a brain the size of a planet.

Awesome design. This is much more like I imagined him too. Being long and spindly like this. I like his droopy neck quite a lot too.

Seriously?
That's pretty badass...Alot of people have told me my h2g2 designs look like how people had seen them while reading...
Though I only take partial credit for this since I think there's another Marvin out here on devART what has an elengated style head...

WonderDookie In reply to UndeadDeviation [2008-03-06 06:49:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Unfortunately no matter what you do with a popular character like Marvin there will probably be somebody else that has done something slightly similar. It's a curse. I think yours comes together really well though.

Yes that I suppose is very true, but I do thank you, I like the other two pieces I did in this style alot more though...this one was done as sort of an afterthought.

My fave. Hands down.

:/ I'm watching the series now, and I like that Marvin ok, but I like the newest one the best. ((Maybe they got me by making him small and more round-shaped?))

::and faved. <3::

So a cylindrical Manic Depressive Robot voiced by Alan Rick man is the way to your heart is it?

I shall have to remember.

Nice (he's missing a lower half though. How depressing).

UndeadDeviation In reply to QueenDemonCow [2007-12-08 02:10:38 +0000 UTC]

Well yes, most of these drawings are missing their lower halves.
But Marvin does eventually loose a leg to Krikkit inventions on the Planet of Sqornquellish I believe.
