Ok. Well this being my first challenge, I am certainly a bit overwhelmed by all of the competition, but I will try my best and I hope all of the other participants the best of luck!

Now, I consider myself a much more 3-Dimensionally poised person than 2D. I know I really have a lot to improve when it comes to 2D sketching, but as my final image will be constructed in 3ds max, it isnt a real huge concern. I just need a way to help invision what I am going to do.

For this “Strange Behavior” I thought I would choose a futuristic option of what to try to create. My idea, is that in the not too distant future, in a time when artificial intelligences are created by humanity to do the dirty and cruel jobs that humans wish not to face themselves, one robot attempts to listen to an advertisement aimed at humans in an attempt to become more like them.

The aim is to create a setting with a robot that portrays the image that he has been used by someone as some sort of assassin or killer. At some point, realizing that his only purpose in life is to kill for a cause that is not his, he attempts to rebel and become as human as possible. The scene will feature him attempting to dress in human clothes by shopping at a store, surrounded by humans.

In the provided image, you can see thathe will be exiting the store with bags and wearing new clothes that have been advertised on billboards in the background.

Well, thats all for now.

Good luck to you…the sketch is a decent start. Make sure you ephasize the fact that he’s shopping, by maybe having a “sale on” sign outside or something. I know it’s early stages, but when i first looked, I thought he was a doorman for a club. Like i wrote, i know it’s the early stages and you haven’t drawn in all of the elements that will be in there. I’m sure this’ll look great.

Enjoy your first one.
