Concept Art: Rusty Robots

Morning!

Here's some assorted concept art for my Rusty Robots setting. 


The Verdigris Lands are a mysterious moss covered expanse of junk that is inhabited by all manner of strange and interesting robotic life. 


I'll be adding some more updates in the next few days, including more robot sculpts so watch this space!

MCM Preview 1

Hi!

As promised heres a few previews of stuff I am working on in preparation for the upcoming London MCM!

I will be bringing an assortment of robots with me and thought I would start off with one of the Green Tribe. Hes a bit of a work in progress at present but should be finished and ready to paint by the end of the day!

 Green Tribe WIP

I am also going to be bringing a host of prints and original artwork to sell and heres a preview of the sort of thing you will be able to buy:

Green Tribe Artwork

The aim is to get representatives of all the tribes of the Scrapyard made and drawn up so I have still got quite a lot of work to do but hopefully folks will see something they like!

All the best!

Sculpting and Sketching

Hi!

Heres a few pieces I have been working on of late for my Rusty Robots game:

Red Tribe Forgebots!

The Forgebots have been made with a separate sprue of hands so they can be customised. The first release will give the option of pistols and hammers with future sprues including polearms, SMGs and gimmick weapons. Standing roughly 30mm tall the little fellows have been lots of fun to make and will soon be joined by many more!

Next up theres some designs for some limited edition robots I am in the process of sculpting up:

Red Tribe Junker


Trade Envoy 

Trade Envoy Final Design

Hopefully I will have the first mould sorted out and ready for casting by the end of this week!

All the best!

Rusty Robot Concepts

Reds!

Theres a load more over on my RUSTY ROBOTS blog so please feel free to nip over and have a look!

All the best!

Posing The Reds!

Hi!

Heres a very quick page of thumbnails of the poses for the upcoming Reds:

The Reds!

Initially theres going to be six poses using the Mk1 Scrapbot body which will come with a sprue of add on bits like the groin guards and goggles which will hopefully allow folks to personalise their robots to their hearts contents.

Of these poses three will be posed in such a way to allow for hand weapons and pistols while the remaining three will be armed with rifles which will be provided with a sprue of assorted weapons ranging from hammers to scrap pistols and heavier ordinance.

Eventually there will be new additions including specialised robots, leaders and big guys but I want to get some basic robots sorted out first before going for the more complex designs.

I am trying to get these bits and bobs sorted out at present in time for the mould material and resin arriving at some point in the next week or so allowing me to actually get some hand cast prototypes made!

Background wise the Reds are associated with metalwork and the great forges of the Scrapyard so many have goggles to protect their eyes and assorted riveted plates to stop them getting damaged. Their weapons are similarly going to be heat and fire based with a wide variety of hammers and stubby guns, welders and flamethrowers.

I will try and get the bodies ready for show soon alongside their weapon sprues as well as some sketches of the Blues who are decidedly more nautically themed...

All the best!

New Concept Designs

Hi!

Heres a couple more pages from my sketchbook featuring more robot designs, setting sketches for RUSTY ROBOTS and even an alien girl I have been thinking about sculpting!

 Alien Girl

I quite like the idea of playing around with proportions on her and the strange pipes jutting out of her head. As mentioned already I am thinking about sculpting her but think I need to develop her character a bit first!
Forge Town 

 Scrapyard Settlement

I am slowly developing a game setting called Rusty Robots (more information can be found HERE) and wanted to develop some visuals for it so have sketched some typical buildings and settlements that can be found throughout the planet spanning Scrapyard.

 Robot Designs

More Robot Designs!

Next up theres some more robot designs, some of which are indeed going to get sculpted! I particularly like the wheeled ones in the second picture which will be seeing action in the world of Rusty Robots!

All the best!

Assorted Concept Sketches!

Hi!

I thought I would take a few pictures of my sketchbook to show some of the assorted concepts I am working on at present!

First off theres some vehicle designs. I must admit I have no experience whatsoever with drawing vehicles but wanted to give it a bash none the less. I am going for a bit of a frontier world/ post apocalyptic look for them and must admit I've had quite a lot of fun producing them.

I do hope to be able to develop them at some point into a few final designs that I can then sculpt and cast in 15mm scale resin but I suspect its going to be some time before I get chance!

 Vehicle Designs 1

 Vehicle Designs 2

 Vehicle Designs 3

Next up theres some pictures of some of the Gunbots I have been doodling! Amongst the mix theres some specialists and big guys. I dont know which I will be working on next but I have quite a catalogue of designs to choose from!

 Gunbot Specialists

 Heavy Gunbots

Ironclads

I've taken to using a brown sketchbook as it gives a nice bit of contrast, especially when combined with a bit of white paint and marker pens!

All the best!

Sketchbooking 2

Hi!

Heres another page of my sketchbooks!

Sketchbookage!

I've developed the loose idea from the previous page a little, investigating different armour types and head shapes and wondering whether head size or shape could represent different ranks or castes. Its always interesting to see how ones doodlings can take a life of their own as you develop them. I think I could probably have a bash at looking at some Egyptian artwork in order to develop the look I am thinking of.

I think I will continue developing the concept over the coming few days and may even have a bash at making a maquette of him once I'm happy with the overall design!

All the best!

Sketchbooking!

Hi!

Somewhat later than promised heres the first days sketchbook page!

Sketchbook!

Its a bit of a mix of different bits and bobs but theres a concept starting to emerge there somewhere! I am going to continue to develop it to see what I can come up with as I fancy a bit of a change from producing lots of rusty robots.

Looking at whats appeared thus far I am quite drawn to the chap with the Pharaoh beard and will see where the concept goes. Maybe I will combine it with the Goblin armour in the centre as its quite fun too. I might have a bash at making it a bit more Egyptian crossed with sci-fi in-keeping with the beard!

All the best!

Wierd Western Characters!

Hi!

Heres a couple of skethces of some Wierd Western characters I designed a while back. I must admit I am tempted to have a bash at some more!

Wierd Western Varmints, the Masked Range Rider, Voodoo Lady and Barbed Wire Skeleton

South American Were Creature


Prospector

I really enjoyed sketching them and really should do some more! I have a whole load more in a sketchbook somewhere and will see if I can fish it out and scan a few more pages!

All the best!

Jobs For Zombies

Hi!

While looking through my sketchbooks I found these two fellows who may well have to form part of a series of sculpts in the near future:

Jobs For Zombies: Lumberjack

Jobs for Zombies: Chef

I had a big list of others kicking around somewhere and will have to see if I can find it!

The idea of creating a host of zombie sculpts is quite appealing and I may well have to give it a go!

All the best!

Space Captain Smith!

Hi!

I'm a bit of a fan of the rather fantastic Space Captain Smith books by Toby Frost and sketched up some figure concepts for the brave captain a while back and recently rediscovered them and thought I would post them here!






Looking at them now I must admit I am tempted to have a bash at sculpting the brave captain and his somewhat feckless crew!

All the best!

Hercules Concepts!

Hi!


Heres a few concept drawings of an upcoming Hercules sculpt I am working on:

 Final Turnaround

Assorted Development Designs

As you can see there are a whole raft of variations, some more successful than others but I thought I would include the lot to show a bit of my thought process!

I have the sculpt half done and will post some pictures once its completed!

All the best!
