	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.

	*Originally posted by jalonso* *Originally posted by Ceres Mikael* ...is there a limit of entries per person? Think quality not quantity. 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 Edited by Ceres Mikael - 12 January 2015 at 6:23pm

	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". Edited by Iscalio - 13 January 2015 at 8:16am

	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.

	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 Edited by Zadaben - 14 January 2015 at 1:54am

	Those are some crazy cool sketches. Noice job. I also admire your coloring of the metal to make it look weathered.

	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. Edited by bittersweet_batty - 15 January 2015 at 6:13pm

	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. Edited by Bcadren - 17 January 2015 at 7:19am

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