Considering that I-Bot's character isn't known yet

This is a pretty good interpretation of an "ARTIST- BOT"

Though to avoid the concept of everything looking like a B-Rated anime knock off.

Having P-Bot look more heroic wasn't really necessary to the portrayal of his character.

Anyone for example, can draw ANY kind of mech and add a letter "P" on his breastplate and call it P-Bot.

Same could go for A-Bot.

The original interpretations are just fine and although the reinterpretation is "cool", I don't see them becoming replacements.

Cause come on, A-Bot looks like a big Boom Box, (though similar to Soundwave) still portrays his character well.

I just don't see the portrayal in P-Bot and A-Bot to be all that representative to what they do.

I dunno, it's just my opinion.

However I-Bots character has not been intrepreted even by the staff and his is a pretty good look.

The stylish backwards cap, the spray can cannon arm, almost as if a college art student was a robot.

My I-bot Reinterpretation is a design baced on a very litle tips MindChamber gived as feed back for my first "interpretation" of I-bot (you can check the original reinterpretation here -->http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/manuel-dangelo/i-bot-rinterpretation <--). Mind chamber has already made an small sample of I bot on the art he shows at his last News post, the white robot on the left.

about A and P. I made them look as I feel they are, not as I think they should be and I don want my art to be a replacement of the original ones. you can call it a side view, interpretation or even fanArt (even if I dislike the term) but it's not just a any robot with the P or the A in the chest.

In general, the idea of a reinterpretation is to keep the basic structure or characteristec elements of the charapter and still give it the look of what you feel about them.

Thanks you very much for such a complete feed back and hope you to like my onther Reinterpretations as I'm working on the whole Bot-Crew.

NO WAY! This is totally Tezuka inspired!

I never thought of you as a fan of Tezuka's work.

Usually his art style turns off modern media viewers.

But if you look past the child-like features, he really was the God of Manga. His stories are incredible! Buddha, Metropolis, Kimba, etc.

I really dig the remakes of Astro Boy, I have yet to check out Phoenix.

Who else to pay homage to when celebrating Robot Day than something Astro Boy inspired.

Seriously though, if you never read Tezuka's Buddha, it's really good.

jouste responds:

yeah i'm a huge fan of tezuka. i only have the first 3 buddah books but they are amazing. i just revently finished MW and man alive was that intense. a very very dark side of him.

and yes! astroboy was and always will be the king of robots!

glad you like it pal! always good to hear from you.

*highfives*

[MindChamber the begining]

AH the story begins to unfold....

I can't wait till it's completion.

I love how you positioned the professor's head in the center of the robot's chest.

Kinda telling me that his mind and the robot...."Mindchamber" as it is because of how it once was....

The prof looks desolated or in deep thought.

Questioning or calculation the results of his actions.

A masterpiece of philosophy, life, and choices is soon to be unfolded.

MindChamber responds:

thanks! very deep review!

[Non Siamo Sorelle]

Nice

It's very cute.

I enjoy cartoon network fan art.

[Dad-Bot]

Needs a chainsaw arm

Don't mean to sound nit-picky, but the chain saw arm is what I would've done :3

Other than that it's bad ass!

PS - what would Paladin look like as a future sci-fi warrior?

[Viking Dad n' Me]

Too cool dude!

You know...its always been a question to me what exactly Dad is....

And in this depiction, he appears more monster/ogre than a killer in a purple jump suit.

You have this nice touch to all your illustrations in character design.

There's that sense of "Bad-Ass-Ery".

The style is cartoony yet intense.

I know this may sound cruel....but it would be funny and almost fit his style perfectly if his other hand was holding the decapitated head of Tom Fulp.

Just saying...since the picture emulates that particular vision in my mind.

Dad's just that kind of guy. Almost the mirror image to Tom Fulp. Like...if Tom had a dark side...it would be Dad.

jouste responds:

haha thanks dude! i gotta say i think having tom fulp's decapitated head would be one of the more endearing things i've seen people depict of that guy ;P

great observations and i'm stoked you like the image!

*highfives*

[kitty war sneak peak]

Something Epic no doubt

I can't wait till it's finished.

Awesome Work dudes.

Nothin' but all the violence, sex, and bloody gore intact that gives the reason why artists make "graphic" novels.

A post apocalyptic world, sexy babes, and bad-asses badder than Chuck Norris.

Bad Shit is Going Down....

And luckily a kick-ass hero is here to save our pathetic lives!

dommi-fresh responds:

ha ha ha thats what i live for.

I love this artistic direction.

Typical superhero-isk or manga-isk looks are neat but often times over-rated.

It's a refreshing relief to the eye and soul to see someone who goes beyond the boundaries of trying to make something look a certain way.

You just do what an artist should do, dig down deep and paint how you like, how you feel, and how the painting speaks to you as you paint.

I drew like this before and it's actually quite relaxing change vs graphic arts or trying to make a comic book.

Cause there are rules in graphic arts and in comics.

ART however...TRUE art....is pure FREEDOM!

Excellent work my Comrade.
