Face Plate Design (Final Concept)

After a bit of thought, I decided to use the concept for the face plate of my robot that I drew a little while back, mainly because it's the only skull concept that I feel works for the bot. I also got to actually coloring it using Sketchbook's gradients. I may have to switch to Photoshop at some point though, as the gradient function won't work properly on some parts of the face plate. I might also redo the entire face in Photoshop depending on whether or not it looks sloppy. Here is what I have now.

Skulls are fun...

Today I worked more on trying to draw a skull (I'm kinda disappointed with the one I drew) as well as giving the robot's face plate a second try (which, being skull based, came out better than I thought). The face plate is only a rough sketch and I'm not entirely sure I'm gonna end up using it, but it's here anyway.

Backplate for Robot

Got to mirroring the chestplate and emptying it out, and added some detail to the back. I feel like something is missing, but I'm not quite sure what. I'll get to looking at reference images so I can figure that out.

Chestplate for Robot

Before thanksgiving break I started working on the body of the robot since I'm still having some trouble making the actual head. I decided to work on the body one piece at a time and ended up with this.

Unless I come up with something better, I think I'll be using this to make the chestplate (and the shoulders, apparently) of the robot I'll be making. I'll also likely just erase the details on the inside of the chestplate, leaving only the outline and things that will be mirrored on the back of the robot.
