Here's a sketch I did as I was figuring out what the robot was going to look like. On the one hand I wanted it to look like a samurai since it was going to wield a dino slaying sword, but not like the anime samurai robots you're used to seeing. I wanted it to look like it was government made: a little clunky and not pretty. At one point I was thinking of using a tank turrent for a head. I knew I was on the right track after this sketch:
This is R.A.D.D. (Robotic Atomic powered Dinosaur Destroyer)
I liked the extra joint in the arms allowing for poses that a person can't make. After drawing this, my buddy Frank came up with the idea of giving him feet that look like he has samurai -like sandals on.
Here's a peek at inked in art from page two showing the final look of the robot.
