I just sketched this.
(wow, bigger than i expected it to show up) It's not going to be this big in the final piece (probably going to use up the entire 128x128), but I wanted to get the juices flowing, coming up with an idea. |

Yo, I know but I feel that that one is perfect as it is, and this weird question entered my head, "what would happen if you placed a wizard's brain within a mecha?" I feel like I can pretty much build something original from that... now the detail of the 11 colors limit... that will be a headache edit: This is what was built in order to investigate that question, a Mechard, a super robot powered by the brain of a dark Magus

I thought about doing Brain on the way to work. Now that I've started on this I can't get "haters gonna hate" out of my head...
I think I'll call this "Power Tie". |

I think I'll call this "Power Tie". The brain stem reads like a crack in the glass at first glance. At least, it did to me. |

re: cortex command,
I adore basically anything Arne does. There's a weight and meatiness to his sketches that's like sex for my eyes. ------------- "Work is more fun than fun" -John Cale |

Made a quick thing, basically decided I wanted the brain in the center and doodled on from there. Im having some issues with the shading of the body, the shape is a little odd and I'll probably need to scrap the current palette. --- 
Updated it a bit |

Here's my brain robot.
He looks kinda like The Iron Giant, now that I look at it some more. |

It's meant to be a brain with arms/legs at a desk/chair in a room, with electrodes hooked up to it, powering the robot. WIP EDIT: Palette is DB16. Too many colors atm, probably going to zap the green and red. EDIT: 
It's 11 without transparency, so I guess the background is staying. I could reduce to 10+transparency, but I'm not sure it's worth it. |

| Why hasn't anyone made a robot that eats human brains? You know, powered by the brain in the sense that it gets its energy from the brain... |

A bit late for first WIP; but I don't quite like the hands and am not sure what to do with them...and might like to try motion blur on the fan or a sparking effect in the brain before submitting.
Time Taken: 4 hours. 
9 colors. [3 pinks; 5 teal/grays and transparency] Color scheme ripped from an interior design book from the 1920's. Robot design based on 1920's/1930's sci-fi. Update: Fixed Hands and Arms: 
Alternate Brain Coloration: (not sure which I prefer) 
Update 2: Animated it. Going to nap soon.

Ever since Theoden mentioned that game Cortex Command, I've become addicted to it, and forgotten about this place.
