I wanted it to be iconic, not visually similar to Darth Vader or Sauron etc etc... yet evoke menace like they do, and make sense as a suit that someone could potentially manufacture and wear. I did a couple of doodles that you can see and I pretty much settled on the design that looked the smoothest (texturally.) I wanted his armor to be white and reflect like porcelain. This half of the post was mostly for the 'fans' or 'readers' (as I prefer to call them) of White Pony.
What I wanted to show was this little sketch from my anniversary with Lindsey.
We went out to breakfast and I started a drawing of the cafe while she was in the bathroom. The girl with the bug eyes glasses had a vocal affectation like Mira Sorvino in "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion." Her whole aesthetic seemed contrived like she was going to a 'I'm a Portland hipster' costume party. I had to draw her because she was such a 'perfect' example of what contemporary style is like in PDX.
I would like to post some sketch or another once a week and I'm open to suggestions. My next image planned for the blog is a colossus!
After hearing you tell Zach so many times to stop drawing guys in fancy armor, it's cool to see you draw a guy in fancy armor! I think it's a very good design. It reminds me of the design for the ship "Heart of Gold" in the recent Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy movie, and even though there were some problems with that movie, it was a pretty good design. If Apple made spaceships.
