More Space---You get the idea

This thing is called Aesop. It was intended to be a space ship that looked like a robot? Don't ask.

Anyway the earlier posting was a shrunk down version of this drawing so I could fit in the feet. Was trying to fit as much detail as possible so I guess it gave it visual interest. But I tried to stay on task and give it an interesting shape at least.


Aesop's head detail. This was an earlier design for Aesop's head.

Unfortunately there is an obnoxious pen doodle in the middle of the drawing because well I was distracted and drew on it a second time. God knows why. I guess while I was eating or watching In Living Color reruns or something. I don't even remember anymore.

Anyway, the idea was that Aesop was this huge robot shaped ship that housed one human captain and the crew were entirely made up of robot workers. It had a biosphere, living quarters and bunch of other crap so it was completely self sufficient. This thing was an insular environment. Point was that it was supposed to be huge.

So I tried to take that into account while drawing the head here. I was trying to instill a sense of massive scale.

I did this drawing when I was 22 and really my coloring hasn't really improved since then. Looking at this now I don't really see too much of difference in the way I draw today. Which kind of scares me.

But I remember liking the drawing because of the horse head on this guy and the purple and green were appealing to me at that age.


This guy was influenced by a tiki mask. Not sure if it comes through.
Those stray guns on the bottom bother me. I think this was supposed to look like a viking ship but I don't really remember.
