the idea: human female with robot fetus in her womb, womb is visable through a glass structure attached to her mid section (vivisection style). All of this is behind a large display window. At bottom a slight reflection of robot couple is looking in.
Any comment or suggestions are very welcome

Damn Dude, I had a good idea of what your idea was but the realization is just sik. LOVE IT :thumbsup: :bowdown: Im doing some more sketchs tonight on mine I'll post them from work tommorow.


Maybe the woman should have more...um stuff attached to her like medical monitors and such. Or lots of wires infiltrating her flesh. The robot babie is awesome don't change it.

ps. add a link to your website to your forum signature

just a quick layout and color render

[Dasleah]

I like this concept. Maybe add some form of sentience to the mother - she's knows what's happening to her but she can't do anything about it.

[mizno]

thanks Dasleah.
You think the lady should be tring to pull away or contorting her body from the pain and disbelief?
Now shes just acting as a host for the future parents.

:twisted:

i think maybe the woman should be an unwilling participant in this experiment. If you think about it this whole concept is kind of alien experiment material. only with alien robots. personally i cant imagine someone willingly submiting to something like this. So maybe the womans eyes should be uncovered so you can see her expression like she is concious of this frankly horrible process... or maybe it's just really late and im feeling particularly twisted.

just my 2 cents

ps. i like the color work too.

[cartoonimator]

Yes yes, the color work is very soft, very animated. Kinda reminds me of some of the animated shorts on the Animatrix...particularly the look and feel of "The Second Renaissance."

Keep it up, looks great!

[MITRICH]

The germ in a uterus has position by a head downwards.

[bonestudio]

You have very well executed your idea !

But I think her position was more intense in your sketches

[mizno]

thanks for the ideas. I do agree that her position is a little stiff.
I'll post some more expressive, spastic sketches soon.

as for the head position, the baby is still in a early stage of life so it is not at full size . also an upside down robot baby may be difficult to discern.

more expression and maybe a little more pain

[jFive]

Now we're Talkin Love the new sketch :drool: :bounce: It's much more dynamic... and well not to rhyme.. dramatic. Keep it up man.

:thumbsup:

pS. Yes, ... I am down with the sickness

ppS. I really like the action line of the body it kind of draws your eye in a Z across the image, my eyes just keep zipping back and forth across it.

[SideAche]

I agree, It's much more dramatic now. I may add some kind of small but noticable latches to the sides of the glass window. Good start:thumbsup:

another pose and different background

[jFive]

Damn another good one. kind of a creepy cybercrucifixion vibe starting to come out in this one.


:scream: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!



I like it

Thw whithering of the form especially the legs makes it seem like the robobaby is sucking all of the life force out to create itself.

keep it up

j5 out:thumbsup:

[Shinwa]

I have to say that I LOVE this idea. I want you to know that,
here are my suggestions - hope they help.

I wish robo-baby weren't quite so blockish...although I understand this is still concept stage. I can't wait to see more of the color!

I LOVED the reflection of the robots on the metal she was on in your color comp. Incorporating that ads some dimension I think.

And finally, I kinda want to see her face, and tears streaming from almost closed eyes...and agony... Not to sound too twisted.
LOL
It would be REALLY dramatic and I think it would capture the attention of the viewer to see facial expression and her eyes.

Just suggestions, I hope they help give ideas of your own and stuff! GOOD WORK.
