A fun piratey piece for ‘Pirate Day!’ - illustrated very quickly (under 2 hours) using a bunch of scanned bits as photoshop brushes, a very cool way to generate lots and lots of texture.

This illustration has always been one of my favorite pieces, I think it’s a color thing, and this was one of the very first pieces that I rendered to this extent, looking back on it - maybe I should switch to decaf.

The more I fiddle with this style, the more I like it, this little spot of an odd little droid was just a blast to do. Of course, last week I did something that really was very robotesque, so this week I had to come up with a robot a little less common. Considering my client driven work is usually rendered like this, these graphic pieces are nice little breaks in my week.

Really just me fiddling with my wacom tablet for 40 minutes or so (when I should have actually been working)… the original idea came from my sketchbook under the category - What did the ‘Wizard of Oz’ characters do after Dorothy went back to Kansas. overall I’m pleased with this, I like ‘the whole caught at work concept’, I also like how even though he now has a heart the Tinman is stuck with a job that puts him in a dark(ish) room, apparently mixing dangerous chemicals.
