Um... What's This?


So... I drew a robot with a sword for a leg.
Yeah, there's really not too much to say for this drawing. I think it was a failed attempt at continuing a robot gladiator series that I drew around 2013. Obviously, the sword peg leg didn't work out so well.

An Injured Cynthian


Here is a depiction of an injured Cynthian being repaired in the owner's chambers. The robotic arm, after looking at it now, seems jumbled up and disorganized. I should have re-designed the repair arm before making it on Adobe Illustrator. 
Nevertheless, this is one of my more favorite drawings of the Cynthian storyline.

Cynthians: An Artificially Intelligent Race of Robots


The Cynthians are a strain of artificially intelligent robots, manufactured by humans for the sole purpose of entertaining them through barbaric arena matches; think of it like modern bot-fighting, except the robots have legs, brains, and a whole lot more brutality.
This illustration, made on Adobe Illustrator, is a remake of an original drawing that I made. The Cynthian in blue is called "Hercules," while the red one is called "Thorazrus."

And now, a word on how a standard Cynthian match works:
The match is organized into three rounds, in which two Cynthians engage each other on an artificial battlefield using hand-wielded melee weapons. The round ends when one of the Cynthians is considered disabled, meaning that the Cynthian is completely unable to fight back. Once the round ends, both Cynthians are taken back into their owners' chambers to be repaired for the next round.
As a Cynthian progresses through the games, the rules for Cynthian matches may change according to the desires of the audience. Some Cynthian matches are held underwater or in a space vacuum, while sometimes the Cynthians team up to defeat a single, much more powerful champion Cynthian.

The Strider: A Light and Effective Spider Tank


This was another potential vehicle I had considered for the K.U.G. universe. The large rear leg helps with the recoil from the dual cannons (though I can't think of what ammunition those tiny barrels would use, other than lasers, that would cause major damage to a target). 
I have also attempted to imagine how the strike tank moves, but the strange design of the legs makes it difficult to do so. All in all, I like the strider's design, and I've printed the illustration on a T-Shirt.

The Storm (New)


This is my most current version of Storm. He looks less like Bane... sort of.
I wanted to keep the skull mouth and intimidating appearance of the original Storm, while still making it not look like Bane. This was, of course, difficult to master, and required multiple different sketches and ideas before this final version was chosen.

The Storm


This is an older design of one of the main characters of a story I've made. The actual story is rather complex, and the character's appearance and name needs to be changed, anyway. Anyone who looks at this drawing tells me it looks like Bane (which always gets me agitated), and the character's name "Storm," of course, is the name of a character from the X-Men. Welp, looks like all the cool hero appearances and names were already taken.
This was made on Adobe Illustrator.

Yet Another K.U.G. Spider Artillery Vehicle


Another drawing of the KUG Spider Artillery Vehicle. I like the shading on this one, but I drew the machine incorrectly, so that if this vehicle were manufactured in the way it was illustrated, you would have to sit with your feet on the seat, because there would be no gap to place your legs in.
Also, before I fully developed the history and symbol of the what-is-now-called KUG, I used the red-white-blue shield symbol that can be seen on the vehicle's seat and side of the cannon. Little did I know that that was the design (the colored stripes, anyway) of the Netherlands flag, and since then the symbol has been changed.
