Hei everyone! : D

My name is Mari and I am a Illustrator and self thaught concept artist.
I will choose Sci-Fi as the ultimate genre. My characters name is Spirit and it is a robot.

For the first post is reference. (Pictures used as reference are not mine.) I have a slight idea what I want to make, but I need some inspiration to make it more clear.

I wish good luck to all, and have fun!

Did some simple consepting on the robots head. I am trying to find the right head shape and eyes. Not exactly what I am looking for. I think I will daw some more ideas, but maybe adding more detail.

I like most of those heads. They look really adorable. It could be a cool contrast of having an adorable robot being the most powerful warrior.

For some reason, last face is super cute -

This'd be pretty funny to see; a deadly robot warrior with an innocent face.

If you wanna try skew its face look more intimidating though, you can try that. It could really work if you made him intimidating in a "subtle" way. I imagine something similar to this face design:

Hehe ^^
Cute robot faces :smile:
Keep it up !

@tj-works I'm probably totally wrong but is that creature from Jojo bizarre adventure maybe ?

Yup, you're right. It's known as "Killer Queen". I brought it up here 'cos the robot's small mouth, angular face and big/beady eyes reminded me of Killer Queen's face.

I like this concept. :)Good start .and keep it up. I can not wait to continue

So the second attempt to find the head and character I am looking for. I feel I am getting closer to what I am looking for. I like the one form the last row in the middle. What do you guys think?
Also I was thinking that its hard for you guys to give me some feedback if you dont know the back story, so I hope to post that sometime this week.

2, 4 and 7 looks really cool !
But my favourite is certainly the last one - weirdly I can't really say why :smile:

Would love to know a little bit about the story for sure ^^

I like the look of 4, 5 and 8. The curvature on 4 and 5 look sweet, and manage to strike a balance between looking humanoid and robot-ish. Between these three, I'd choose 5. I like the beady black eyes in 5 that don't have white glints.

@mr_dessin @tj-works Thanks guys, for the feedback! None of these is the last wersion jet. I desided to move on the body for now, because the head is the hardest for me... and the ones I posted are not something I am looking for :smiley:

I love the clothes you gave him, like... completely-common-human clothes. It's somehow so cute.
I personaly would choose the first one because it looks he's trying to fit-in so hard it's just lovely :joy:
