Robots!

The dog was not much help at robot building.

I'm working on some character sketches for a new project.  One of the characters is a robot.  Now, my brain automatically wants to draw every robot to look like Bender from Futurama. That's not imitation...I've drawn robots that way since I was a kid.  Can head, can body, flexible hose like arms and legs...its so easy and it looks like a robot!  Well for these character sketches I wanted to get out of my robot comfort zone.  So I pulled out a box of scrap I've been accumulating and used the materials to make robot shapes to base sketches on.  I recruited my son and niece to help me.  So... here are our robot creations.  

This is where I started...then I decided I needed the help of some young minds.  IE Free labor.
