I know, I know, we already wrapped up the Saturday Morning Cartoon theme. But just like Freakazoid, I'm unpredictable! Freakazoid was a short lived cartoon around that came on between Earthworm Jim and Road Rovers! Now that was an awesome cartoon lineup! He couldn't fly so he would just raise his arms in the air and make swooshing sounds. This drawing isn't as goonish as the cartoon, but I tried to draw it from memory. Hope you enjoy!!
Another showing of amazing participation from the art staff for this theme, I’m still blown away… a 9 part theme, with first posts from Gene and Bimbo Soup! And Pyxlwyz got a Forza 3 Painting post up since I was last online for the GI Joe theme, he’s our Special Effects artist extraordinaire. There is only one artist is left to post, and 2010 is his year! It’s been a while since I’ve been online here, and I wish that I could say that I’ve been spending every waking moment on my theme project for S. M. Cartoons, but with the holidays and Modern Warfare 2 (a lot of Modern Warfare 2,) things kind of got in the ways of my progress. I still got enough done to share with you guys, so here it goes. I wanted to pick a bit...
Hello! Like several of the other artists here, ThunderCats was one of my favorite cartoons as a child. I especially liked Cheetara, she was Hot! My work is unfinished, although it was still a lot of fun and quite a learning experience. I've not spent much time with Zbrush, and this was the first time to REALLY use the program. It’s impressive and I plan to keep learning more about the software. Anyhow, my plan was to infuse more feline qualities into the Cheetara design, like large cat eyes, a cat nose and cat hind legs. I hope to eventually finish this model, and get her posed, I think the ankles and feet would be more successful if shown carrying her weight more naturally. The ankle and legs are th...
Solium Infernum, by Cryptic Comet, is another turn based strategy game that we’re running at the moment. It’s our first game of it so everyone is just learning it now. The story to the game goes something like you’re a powerful demon in Hell and there’s a power vacuum and you have to defeat the other powerful demons to be crowned the new ruler of Hell. Its hex based, you only get a few Actions per turn (and EVERYTHING costs an Action). There’s plenty of diplomacy in the game, and a little bit of combat. You take an Action to get resources, and then recruit Legions to explore the map and capture Places of Power, which give you Prestige Points which is the measure of victory. ...
What's happening. This is my first art blog post so be gentle. I decided my subject was going to be Pirates of Dark Water from the start. I have always thought this was an awesome cartoon with it's crazy prog rock album cover inspired art. So to help me along the way in creating this I listened to Rush's 2112 album a million times over. Yes Rush rocks!! This process was a combination of 3DMax, Photoshop and a little World Machine thrown in. Hope you enjoy it.
Recently, I was fortunate enough to be invited to an event in Santiago, Chile called Traweln. Traweln is a gathering of entrepreneurs and investors from around the globe but all have some sort of connection to Latin America. The event was organized by two outstanding and inspirational entrepreneurs, Wences Casares and Tiburcio de la Cárcova.Several game developers were in attendance, and the organizers had the foresight to seat all of us together at the asado(barbecue). It was a lively conversation with much discussion about development practices in North America vs. South America and the state of our respective markets. I definitely learned a lot and hopefully made some new friends.It’s springtime in South American...
It’s the holiday season and you know what that means; Crazy shoppers, lots of traffic, holiday decor, and of course, giving to those in need. This year at Robot, we decided to give to children who won’t be receiving presents this holiday season by participating in The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program.The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program provides assistance for needy children, as well as teens and senior citizens. The Salvation Army gives presents for the holidays, food vouchers, and family gifts as well. We thought this would be a great and easy way to help those who won’t be celebrating with gifts and abundant food. Plus, the Salvation Army was out to help out 55,000 children, teens, and seniors in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and we...

Hello and thanks for checking out my post. As a kid I couldn’t wait for saturday mornings so I could wake up and watch the latest episodes of my favorite cartoons. With our latest theme I decided to try to do a zbrush sculpt of a character from one of my favorite shows. I decided to try my hand at zbrush. I chose to try to model He-man because he was a simple character without a lot of complicated gear(so I thought anyways). Although there was a huge learning curve I enjoyed the challenge.
When I was a kid, I remember waking up every Saturday morning while my parents were still asleep, getting a giant bowl of Cookie Crisp and watching cartoons until lunch. I loved shows like Thundarr the Barbarian, Dungeons and Dragons, He-Man, The Mighty Orbots and my favorite, Thundercats. I really liked all the characters but my favorite was always Panthro. He seemed like the toughest Thundercat out of all of them and had, what I thought to be, the coolest weapon. The NUMCHUCKS! ..or nunchaku if you want to be all technical. Here’s some images of Panthro from the original show. I thought it would be fun to make a Panthro model but it would be too time consuming to do another full character like the Baroness so I decided to go with a...
