Well this class is over so i will be changing the name of this here blog. It will also have much more varying content on it. I think I am going to use this as a sort of digital art diary.
My design for the environment came from a photo of a junkyard that I found. I put the work bench and the robot in there as his pal and workspace respectively. I decided on a junkyard shot because I figured that he would have this secret work station that no one knew about in the back of where he lived. A place his parents or others never went to.

As far as the design of the boy, I went with the manga eyes and hair because he like robots and I thought that they sort of went together. I put an old pot on his head as a hat because that is something that I could see a young boy who lived in the junkyard wearing. Not only for style but protection as well. He is holding a wrench because he likes to tinker and wearing overalls because that is also something that I would picture a boy who lived on a junkyard wearing.

Here is the lead cowboy colored in:


Here are some faces with different expressions for the Brent Villian. I wanted him to have that suave old time English look, but be evil and dastardly at the same time.

This was meant to be an angry face, like his plans are being foiled.



This is his cunning dastardly face. Like when he would come up with his evil plan and laugh an evil laugh. It sort of reminded me of Boris from Rocky and Bullwinkle.



This is a flirty innocent face that he would display when flirting with the towns women and acting innocent.



This would be his normal face when not around the other towns people. He will be grumpy all the time and put on a show for the towns people.
