I do a rough sketch in mspaint that I base off of pictures online and reveal videos. The outlines are approximately to scale with each other (although certain aspects like Empire's can grabbers are modified slightly to make it more aesthetically pleasing in such a minimalist style). This part probably takes the longest to do depending on the robot. For instance, Empire used to have it's big can claw attached to the back (check their reveal video) and that alone probably took 40 minutes. I took it off in this case because they requested the pic to be in their final form, so I replaced it with their pike. In comparison, Fawkes only took about 15 minutes to sketch IIRC.
Anyways, then I do a wire frame of the robot and fill it in with the team's color scheme. I also look up their logo font (which can take a while; I still don't know what 1678 uses). In total, each one takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Most of that is probably because it's all done in mspaint. |
