MadHatter

Posted by Otto Robba in Sketches & Studies on 30. Jul, 2009 | No Comments

I love Alice in Wonderland. I think it is a masterpiece because very few books can make us think, laugh, smile and so much more in so few pages. It changes the reader and for me that means it is good art. Anyways, in a lazy afternoon I took out a pen and started sketching what I believe to be my version of the MadHatter, a character that always makes me smile. Only loses for the Chesire Cat but then again… who CAN compete with the Chesire cat? Nobody can.

Death’s Avatar

Posted by Otto Robba in Concept Art on 30. Jul, 2009 | 1 Comment

As the last task in our drawing course, we had to create a character from scratch. Essentially, what character concept artists do for a living. My character is, in essence, an immortal soul bound into an immortal body, acting as a hunter and avatar of the goddess of death, Kali, by exterminating all those who disturb the natural flow of life and death. In essence, he attempts to restore balance in a world torn apart by corruption. Bones extrude from his wrists at his will, sharp enough to end most foes without armor and, should there be ‘resistance’, he can tap into the netherworld, traversing through the different places and effectively striking an enemies soul. I really wish I had used a better paper, this one is really not made for anything else but sketches. Oh well, lesson learned, no crappy paper next time.

A model I made for a short-movie I never got to finish. I quite like the end result, although I must say, this is extremely old.

One of my favorite X-Men, Gambit manages to be a prick with quite a bit of flair heh. Plus, you can’t go wrong with exploding cards. I mean… c’mon. Exploding. Cards.

Some visual poetry for ya. Written in portuguese, poem reads kinda like this in english:
“Fulfilled promises, broken ties
Perfect lies.
Nobody ever saw
The break of dawn”

    For me, art is all about communication, finding and giving meaning when most would not see. To make people feel from words unspoken, to imagine entire worlds through simple literary passages.

    My dream is to be able to, should I ever be so lucky, create a piece of work that lives far beyond myself.
