24 Hour Comic Sketches: Automaton

Here is the automaton sketch from my 24 Hour Comic attempt. This is the one I am most pleased with out of all the automaton sketches. I wanted him to appear more clockwork, similar to the automaton in Hugo and the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, upon which it was based, starkly contrasted by the ray gun gothic, retro-futurism zeerust feel of the rest of the robots and machines. I wanted him to appear "old science" so to speak, nearing Frankenstein and alchemy and a 9 sort of feel. Note that his face seems bolted on; I was thinking it would be a malleable metal that could show facial expression uninhibited, demonstrating that he was a very advanced and complicated device, despite his primitive look. Sorry about the rest of the sketches, but really these were the very best in my opinion.

24 Hour Comic Sketches: the Alien

Here are a few of the sketches I did for 24 Hour Comic. I'm sorry this isn't all of them, but the scanner I'm using right now is messing up and potentially ruining my work, so all I have right now are these two and the third of the automaton. Oh well, these were pretty much my favorites.

The top sketch was the first I did. I planned an alien invasion force, (note the helmet and weapon [the design of which I wasn't entirely pleased with...] below the creature), complete with grotesque aliens (figures right? scary aliens and sad robots; can we all say "author appeal"? XD). The idea was that the alien was tired of killing other races in an unoffical war and decided to take pity on the automaton and, ultimatety, the family of humans holding the automaton captive (and perhaps any survivors in the immediate area; I don't know, didn't get that far -_-).

Author's Light

From the day before yesterday. That soft, cheerful new light is awfully pretty, isn't it? Gives me a pounding head ache almost every time I see it, because it usually means I've stayed up the whole night and am just going to sleep. I still love seeing it, though. It's Author's Light, and it's got a light, fluffy buzz like cotton candy to the brain.
