(Apologies for the terrible scan quality, but the paper was very...Well it got twisted in my bag)
Had a lengthy description here...
Toben is German for Rage, and this here renegade robot represents all that. If anything he has inspired a lot of me too draw for a Long time. This was his first ever 'final' sketch, now inked. I had many concepts and back stories behind Toben, but I settled one that suited my anger, and now he represents all my anger. If I'm really pissed off, I'll draw him beating the crap out of something, because he's the sort of character I can do that with and not mind.
He originally sprouted from a random pen sketch while I was waiting for some stuff to download, and frustrated, I drew the points of his head, and suddenly a robotic body. Inspiration sprouted from there, and here we are. |
