'Bout time. This is gonna be a good one.

[Mesolimbic]

An image of two ginormous nano armies captured just before the instant they engage in battle. An epic battle that would later be known to the single survivor as the hundredth of a second war. Magnified to show texture.

[kynu]

late but great topic.
and a very nice first contribution! Thanks for the laugh! :)

[Luca]

This is my first time to participate in these contests. Nice topic. All the best everyone.

[Debris]

bring it on'

[artina]

This is gonna be fun.

[Spencer]

I've been checking back here every day waiting for this months contest. Glad I can get my first entry in now :)

Despite being one of the runts of the T series robots, Arnie always found new and inventive ways to make his duties interesting.

[Anthony Christou]

Battle droid entry first version. I just wanted to make something a little threatening. I still want to draw some more options as I like this theme.!!!

Great theme this month. Had fun with this one!

[jobikwak]

This is my take on the theme. I was influenced by some renaissance time with a twist of sci-fi .Bots like the fight of good and evil. hope you like it .

[novice]

After seeing this month's theme, rather than googling it (I'm not a star wars follower), I asked a friend about them. In his words, they are "the awsomest combat robot-thingys ever".

So, going over this description in mind, I made up my perception of what my Battle Droid should look like, with the sketch showing him triumphant over an enemy.

Thanks. Great theme.

[mad point]

Good freakin lord!!!
this contest has had more entries in a few days then the last two had in one month
Really cool stuff pouring through, I was gonna set this one out, but I'm starting to get inspired by the entries

[l0gic]

This is my first time posting, but I been watching a lot of the videos and it's really inspired me to start drawing again. I am definitely going to be jumping on this topic.

[mad point]

Here is my entry for this month
Good luck all!!

[jTm3]

Howdy everyone, want to start by saying that I'm a First Time Poster and pretty new to these boards. Have to say that there is a lot of talent here and great to see some beautiful and awesome work. I was really excited to join in on the fun here and went to work ( during class of course, Only 3 classes this quarter ) and had an idea for this months contest. I read the rules and went ahead and used a blue Pen on this. I call it........


....Enter the Battle Droid Triage!

Enjoy!

[l0gic]

badapple that's pretty tight, what kind of pen did you use? just the regular blue ball point pen?

[mad point]

welcome BadApple
and great job there with the blue ink, man this contest is booming this month early in the game:D

[BadApple]

Logic - Thanks, yeah just a regular ball point pen. I like to use them more than pencil when I sketch just cause they flow better.

Mad Point - Thanks!

[Owl_Tash]

I have to agree with BadApple lot of talent here and great posts.
Really like the theme will be posting more on here.
Good luck!

Hi all I have entered once before in sketch theatre I love this months topic I have decided to create a battle droid version of the lion of venice it is also the symbol of Saint mark. This is a modern day version of the lion of venice. In the old days the lion of venice had two forms the lion of war and the lion of peace this version obviously is not the friendly feline version hope you all like.

and what do battle droids fight? killer rabbits of course!

[Pale Majesty]

Hello, I'm new here so I thought I'd join in :) Firemouth was inspired by some photographs of various historical artifacts I've found on my travels and the art of Keith Thompson. I hope you enjoy!

my respects for the awesome work you did

Hey Deka, Thanks man! I'll Definitely be posting more stuff.

[Pale Majesty]

Oh well...

I really like your linework here, Mantillman :)

[Merigios]

Hi´ this is my very first post aswell. and I wish you get to like this one...so here it is.

[BadApple]

Wow lots of great stuff being posted up! :)

[WoodardIllustraion]

I wish I hadn't colored this but I'm over all pretty happy with the deign of the character. Hope you all like it.

[Pale Majesty]

Wow everyone's designs are looking awesome :D

[kynu]

mantillman, your bot is great!

[indigartistic]

Hi.

Edit: Please click on the largest-sized image to truly see the details.

This is my first sketch piece for sketch theatre.

I decided to enter the contest.

I must say that this is the first bot I have ever drawn.

This is meant to be a human-bot-insect sort of hybrid.

Drawn with an automatic pencil and highlighted with a soft eraser.

[BadApple]

Great Job Guys!!!

Hey, Question, Can we enter more than once? I have another idea floating around that I might get a chance to do. Just wondering.

[cboston]

http://i27.tinypic.com/2nlbdcp.jpg
Oh well...

Perhaps if it seems harmless it has something hidden that actually makes it quite dangerous. If you were going to take this any further, making some (subtle) indication of that danger would make it even more interesting.
cool :)

[Ramonworks]

Hi guys, here is my entry for Battle Droids, red pencil under drawing inked over and finished with copics on yellow construction paper.

[mantillman]

http://i26.tinypic.com/fk6syx.jpg

I removed the useless cloth that (in my previous post) dangled from his robotic waist.

Pale Majesty, Thanks, I've been trying to concentrate more on linework.

Thanks, Kynu

cboston, whaddya think of my bot in action?

Ramonworks, I really love the color in your entry. It's very retro.

[Luca]

SketchTheatre> Since this is my first time to participate in these contests, I would like to ask if I can post my preliminary and rough idea sketches... or should I post the final submission straight away?
If I can post my roughs, should I post like "This is my final" note, on the final image?

Thanks for the replies and help.

Peace.

[AyaME]

I'm a newbie here. This is my take on the Battle Droid. Done a bit of research about it, (actually I didn't know it was from Star Wars...thought they were those animal robots...) did some studies, and I ended with this one. To those familiar with Japanese Mech, the design obviously rings a bell. Hope you like it.

[TJ Ryan]

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to the Sketch Theatre and look forward to be getting involved in the monthly comps.

Awesome entries everybody. Here's mine for the Battle Droid.

[mad point]

Man where did all these people come from lol
some really great entries still pourin in through here..... Nice!!!

I wanted to submit one more idea that I had in my head for awhile so here it is done with ball point pen and markers
http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm51/frosty2376/battledroid-1.jpg

[TJ Ryan]

Cheers Logic! Yeah I'm a big fan of the Aliens Universe and other works of HR Giger.

I was aware of my Droids head looking quite Aien-esque, but now that you mention it I can see some other stuff that resembles the Alien like the tubes in the back.

[l0gic]

ok I am getting ready to submit my entry here soon. I start doing some of the final pencil work and hopefully I can start inking it tomorrow. I've never inked a drawing before so this is going to be interesting.

[l0gic]

Here is my entry into the contest, I use regular sketch pencil to get the underlying drawing done. Then I did the lines with faber-castell PITT pens. In a way i am happy with how it turned out considering i have done any serious drawing in a long time.

[Ryan]

Here is my entry for this month's topic. Pencil sketch with a little ink on the character lines.

[grphcvis]

Eagle Veriblack 315 pencil on Strathmore 9" x 12" Sketch paper

[strattonbrazil]

I decided to redo my submission for a more creative design. I think it's a bit funner if anything.

That's awesome. How'd you do the texturing? Did you color the paper before or after the drawing?

i must say, the competition looks amazing and intense. good luck everyone :)

[Deviantsketch]

Hey im new here and decided to whip up this in the spare time that i had between doing other things any way this was done with about 10 mins!

[DesignR]

My first entry here... a gyroscopically balanced droid employing three types of guns and a missile launcher. This machine can also fly or hover for short periods of time. When powered down, auxiliary supports are activated.

Medium: Prismacolor Markers over 'Hi-Tec' Pilot pen linework on plain copy paper.

[ECTmonster]

I've been in Gnomon contests before, but Sketch Theatre seems much more up my alley. Here's my entry, a stealth combat droid wearing a ragged cloak for camouflage, maybe in a jungle.

[e.harroun]

This is my first entry on ST. Hope you all like it. Technology usually isn't my thing, but I had to try this one!!

[DesignR]

I really like your linework here, Mantillman :)

Yeah, I agree,... what did you use to make this?

[jando88]

This is a design i thought would be neat, this Is my first Submission please be gentle.

There Is a 3-dimensional cross section of the right arm to show the underlying technology and how It influences the overall design of the suit, variations of wether a jetpack or a set of wings on the back of the body was an Idea I thought would pertain to what situation was at hand. This Is actually a suit but I did not get to the design of the inside of the suit itself as I lack proper training how to model and conceptualize complex machinery that can actually function.

OK I spent more time and redrew my bot. I liked the rabbit idea but I did a poor job drawing it, so I went with more of a Cthulhu idea :) Decided not to shade anything, just practicing my line work.

Please disregard previous post, this is my final

EDIT: noticed the image wasnt coming up, so added it as an attachment as well.

Ha,... this actually got a chuckle out of me,... remembering when I used to have a gentler version of this little bot when I was a kid.

Fun idea and a good sketch too.

[marcogalli]

Hi, this is my entry.
I thought about this drone fighter as a sentient creature designed to complete its objectives.
The drone sees either day or night, and 'connected with the central brain of drones across the antennas,
limbs may engage various types of weapons, from a distance or melee. It has a special armor that allows him
operate at all temperatures from cold to warmer, is invulnerable to bullets not enhanced. The legs end
Foot Tripod Titanium that helps to make big jumps and landing behind the enemy lines of defense.
I made the sketch following the lessons learned in the beautiful series of Gnomon Workshop DVD
"Imaginative illustration with J.P. Targete" Great DVD!
I hope you enjoy, Marco

Hi. Thanks (:
No, I didn't use any references. Though you're not the only one who sees a certain resemblance to WW2 soldiers or something. Actually, it was a kind of purpose...

[grodriguez]

Here is my entry. I didn´t have much time to drawn this month, but i think this came out good.
I used A4 paper, pencil, ink and a grey Prismacolor marker.

Hope u like it... Good luck to all... :)
