Re: Challenge 381: You, Robot
Mine.......Anna, I had decided to do something with Pinocchio - had all my "parts" picked out - checked the forum and saw you beat me to it!!! Okey, though; this one was fun, too. Joey  _________________ "Art is a blade of grass ... and in a moment I will eat it." |

Re: Challenge 381: You, Robot
I had a week free so went a little bit OTT on this one!.. ..So Robby Bot wanted to become more human, more like a real little boy. I helped Robby create a FACEBOOK page: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.108547769263606.9011.100003251500920&type=1&l=545f41d62f Take a look, it may make more sense then!..  |

Re: Challenge 381: You, Robot
Artwel, the Facebook page photos are a brilliant idea and very well executed. Not sure I would have got Noel to pay for Jamie to do the op .... Presumably Rob now smells of crushed garlic and olive oil? Cheers Vern  |

Re: Challenge 381: You, Robot
A very early entry from GKB kicked off this week - and it set a very high standard. The magazine cover, the poster, the image on the screen - not to mention all the extra details, such as the torn chair fabric, Buzz Lightyear on the cap, the robot dog, cat and even spider... a really clever and funny piece of work. I like the added spanner in the second entry. Just one comment: when you flatten a bowl of cat food, don't flatten the food! A more heavy metal teenager from munchonu, with something well dodgy going on on the screen. I like the moved eyes and the new mouth. You need a little shading on the magazine cover, though, to make it look more like it's really in his hand. Nice curl on the corner of the painting! An astounding entry from Brewell: the genius of the work simply took my breath away. Not just the idea, which was inspired in itself, but the execution - Princess Leia's pose as she holds the baby, the recolouring of the robot to match her skin tone, the newly-added lower legs and feet, the expression on her face, the paternal pose of C-3PO... I think this is the single funniest image that has ever appeared on this forum (and it's been up against some stiff competition). From the apparent simplicity to the detail of the execution, everything is in the right place. Bruce, this is a work of true brilliance. You've done yourself proud. A move outdoors from ahmedalij, with a highly decorated robot behind the wheel of shiny convertible. The arm leaning on the side is a great touch, and it's a perfect fit - with some good texture to the windscreen. If that's a hand drawn steering wheel, it could do with being just a little thicker, though. A Disney approach from zombie67, with perfect three-fingered gloves and even a robot Pluto (or is it?) for company. A touch of localised shading needed on the cover, though, to make it look like it's really there. A clever transformation from tooquilos, as Pinocchio moves in on the robot. Great recolouring, and a cute Jiminy Cricket - although his shadow does seem rather too close to him, given that he's some distance from the wall. A clever animated version, with great animated eyes (and nose) from Pinocchio. I love Gepetto's dancing movement: you've really got that Puppet Warp thing worked out! I don't know what it is about Jono's entry that looks quite so much like Justin Bieber - but there's absolutely no doubt who it is. You do need to watch your typing, though! And the Biebot 5000 lettering on the wall real needs to be in perspective - follow the angle set by the edge of the table, and the monitor. Is it just my imagination, or are the robot's eyes glazing over in Deborah Morley's entry? A splendid new skin, beautifully modelled and lit - there's a real translucent quality to it that must have been very hard to achieve. And not a drop of Plastic Wrap in sight! A seasonal entry from Josephine Harvatt, with our robot fully kitted out for Christmas. I like the way it all works, and the book title (based on Philip K Dick's original of Blade Runner) is very appropriate. But the title does need to be in the same perspective as the book cover! Good to see Marlcliff back - and sorry to hear about the hip issues. A very chilled-out robot here, with a couple of drinks to keep him entertained. The bottle of Chivas looks a little odd: is that a minibar miniature that's been blown up? The proportions are weird! Some artfully placed hair from Garfield72, with added dummy on the dummy. I like the empty milk bottle on the table, although it does need to distort the view through it slightly. A couple of nice variations in the second entry: that gobstopper is a great fit! Extraordinary work from James, with amazingly conceived movement: look how the back of the magazine drops as the robot lifts his right hand to his head, the great eye movement, the timing of all the actions... very fine work, James! Plenty of industrial robots join in the fun in joeysala's entry, as our guy reads a magazine about the Spielberg movie AI... the new eyes and mouth are great additions. I've been trying to read the story here... what is the roll of tape for? And the bib? Just one thing: the schematics on the wall behind should really be in the same perspective as the wall, as set by the edge of the table. A neat hand-knitted top from BigVern, with a fine head of... well, make that half a head of hair. What happened to the other half, Vern? Is it still on order? A great image from Artwel, with our robot on a train journey - and very neatly reflected in the window of the train, too. I assume that's all your added graffiti and rips? It's absolutely worth everyone's time to check out the accompanying Facebook page, which features a scrapbook containing an additional five complex, detailed and funny images showing the robot's quest to be a real boy. Fabulous work! A huge amount of effort must have gone into this - and it was well worth it. Most entertaining. |

Re: Challenge 381: You, Robot
Thanks Steve, A fun challenge this week. I just wish I had had more time with it as I subsequently came up with all sorts of robotic jokes ... but it would probably have been too cluttered then. _________________ Only one shopping day left until tomorrow! |

Re: Challenge 381: You, Robot
Steve - the "story" (as I see it): Our little guy is at the robot equivalency of the dentist (hence the little chest protector) - only it's something in his head that is getting repaired/altered. The duct tape? Well, ANYTHING can be fixed with duct tape - that's the opinion of the little blue guy. I struggled with the angle of the schematics (knew you were going to call me on that!) and I finally came to the conclusion that, indeed, the table isn't parallel to the wall - and the chair isn't up against the wall. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!  Joey_________________ "Art is a blade of grass ... and in a moment I will eat it." |

Hey hey! Thank you. Princess Leia's pose dictated the content of the picture. I gave up my original idea- "It's your turn to change the baby oil." _________________ Onward and upward! Excelsior! |
