I'm pretty excited about this. Frankie Washington is the artist behind Robot God Akamatsu, a comic about a 1970's anime inspired robot that defends Boston against giant monsters. Cool stuff: http://robotgodakamatsu.blogspot.com/
We've agreed to do an art swap: he gets to play with my DRC characters, I get to play with his. It will be fun, and a good way to promote each other. I think I'm getting the better end of the deal. He's got a bigger audience.
First I went through different ideas for what I wanted to do in my picture. I really liked his design for the robo-monster Dai-Kaiju-Leviatron. Its a cool looking cyborg creature. I also liked the launching fist I saw Akamatsu use in the comic. I settled pretty quickly on the pic using that. Below is the rough scribble of the composition I plan to use. Next step is the full scale pencil drawing.
