More Robots

A Fully Functional Fission Capture Bot

This week we get another robot. I know that there is a story here, but right now only the designs are coming up clearest. I have some plot ideas, but no specifics. This guy is a modifcation of the farming robot. he’s got the same basic gathering mission except that he gathers energy.

Any kind of innacuracies in the nuclear facility that he’s sitting on have nothing to do with a lack of research and everything to do with keeping the design of those facilities secret- just doing my part.

Hill Monkey

Posted on June 29, 2012 by doodlehoose

He wants the banana

I started out drawing a Hill Billy, but he turned into a simple farmer. So I added a monkey for spice. I saw a television news show one time that talked about Japanese monkeys that had been transplanted to Texas and loved it. Go figure.

The transition from Hill Billy to Farmer.

Magpie and Weasel

Magpie and Weasel

Here’s this week’s post. This couple is Magpie and Weasel. He’s a retired cat burglar and all around thief. She’s an up and coming cat burglar and all around thief. She’s his apprentice. She’s stealing a wallet in this pic.

The sketch below is my first try at the couple and I like that Weasel better, but I like this Magpie more. I need to keep trying because I don’t think that it’s quite there yet.

Three Eyes to the Wind

Posted on June 22, 2012 by doodlehoose

3 Eyes 2 the Wind

I wanted to give this a better color, or more precisely I wanted to color this even a little, but ran out of time.

This is an alien that’s had one too many of those canisters, which contain a mild hallucinogen and something similar to Earth alcohol.

What I wanted to convey here is a sort of stumbling drunk. I wanted the character to appear old, but not too old… because he’s still got plenty of fight left in him.

You’ll see that he’s sorta built, but that his one arm is shriveled. This was the result of a childhood injury, like Jem Finch but you know an alien. He’s spent his entire life feeling a bit self conscious and that’s why he’s always so eager for a fight.

Basically if you see this dude stumbling towards you, cross the street.

P.S. I blurred his tattoos cause they’re obscene… or at least they are in his language.

99 doodles of Hoose on the Web, 99 doodles of Hoose

Posted on June 18, 2012 by doodlehoose

A fancy new swimming dress

So this week I reimagine Merfolk. My thoughts are that sailors used to see them so often because they are mammals and need to breathe on the surface. I think they got here before humans evolved and possibly came from Mars while it was still wet. We don’t see them as often as we used too because they got annoyed with us and developed the technology required to breathe underwater all the time.

Those are my first thoughts and drawings. I don’t know where this one is going, but it definitely qualifies as a doodle and it’s our 99th post! I hope you like it.

Some random this and that

Autumn

Here’s a couple of random sketches, cause I couldn’t get anything done that I liked.

An idea for two characters named Patriot and Chrysanthemum

A Monkey Doctor, a smoking waitress, and some strutting eyeballs.

Something percolating

Posted on June 11, 2012 by doodlehoose

Swords into Plowshares

So Hoose Two posted a Robot with a Rider a couple of weeks ago called Something Steamy (if you haven’t seen it then look at the old posts and check it out (it’s cool)). When I talked to him about it he said it was part of a world where there were mysterious robots about. That got me to thinking about what some of those bots might be doing and go the brain percolating. I wouldn’t say my drawings are steamy yet. They still need a little more time to boil, but I suspect that there is a story coming someday.

This is JD and if you don’t know why He’s called that then you don’t farm. He was slightly damaged when the humans struck and he’s been “reassigned” to work for men. I don’t know his whole story yet and I really don’t know what’s floating over the horizon in the background, but I know that JD loves the soil.

Above is my first attempt at a character sheet. I liked it, but my wife asked if I was making a tractor transformer and I thought the design needed to be adjusted. He is not a transformer. The cap was attached for shading the rider, but just to make sure I took it off the second round.
