Chaz Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Andy,Nice Robots!Question:How did you do the graphics on the boxes?Some of it looks computer generated and some of it looks painterly.Peace,Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Laserman, I remember a picture of a robot performing "brain" sugery on itself. I've considered doing something like that.Chaz, I create the box art work in Photoshop. I use my pictures, some original drawings and some "borrowed" art elements. I vary the design depending on what mood I'm in at the time. Sometimes it's just the robot and a logo. Sometimes I go with a modern minimalist look. Sometimes I do the full blown full color scenes.

Chaz Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Andy,Thank you for replying. I dig the box art I guess because I'm a professional visual Artist. I have Photoshop but ever dreamed someone could do what you do with it. Question: What version of Photoshop are you using?Attached is a pic of the "Bob Blockman Family" of which I have done a series of paintings. This painting is called "Family Vacation". I have had the Bob Blockman character since the '70s. He is about to reach his mid-life crisis in a couple of years.Peace,Chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothunter Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 As the proud owner of three Andybots, I can just say one thing that I know for sure to be an absolute truth...your work just keeps getting better and better You rock, Andy! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Robot and Son Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Andy,The bots are great as usual, but the saucer is even better. Are these going to make their way to Botstock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Joe, I'm trying to save a cache for Botstock but that means keeping them off of my website. Maybe I'll upload them as "reserved" until after Botstock.Pat, thanks. Will I have to start making astronauts?Mark, yeah....I was concerned about ABC blowups and whatnots...so I did the flame thingy to the augurmator valve phase conduit crossovers.... :unsure: ...and stuff like that. Actually those rivets are eyelets used for scrapbooking. I often use them for Andybot eyes too.Chaz, are the Blokman actual paintings or computer rendered work? Looks pretty cool.I use Photoshop 7.0. I haven't felt any need to upgrade. I'm a video editor/porducer/art director for a small production company so I where many hats. Photoshop is my "go to" tool for logo work/cleanup, specialized graphics, and still frame repair work. I don't know how many times I've had to add sunny skies or remove an odd telephone pole from a client's location shot. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laserman Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Andy on your Mechno and other robots, Do you do your simulated rivits with just a punch and hammer or do you use something more elaborate like the machine Micromark sells? Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
