Ollie, the girl that discovers the robots. ~ She’s always been the quiet one - the one that no one really connected with so she’d sit by herself and watch the other kids talk. So when the popular kids asked if she wanted to skip with them, of course she agreed - and when they dared her to go into the old abandoned film studio the town avoided, they didn’t expect her to actually do it. What, or who, she finds there gives her a new group of friends that actually care about her. Ollie’s mother runs the town’s daycare centre. And who better to help out than four robots literally made to entertain children?? ~ Yeah so this is another integral character to the robot’s story! Them interacting with her is very sweet, because they have basically missed like 30 years and the world has evolved a lot in that time. So she’s showing them new video games and YouTube videos and memes and they are very confused, but supportive. Kind of like confused grandparents. ACTUALLY WAIT THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO BE OLLIES GRANDPARENTS OH NO (PS swipe to the end for a little cute sketch) ~ #theroboshowocs #robotoc #robotcharacter #digitalart #ocart #originalcharacter #originalstory #digitalillustration #characterdesign #characterref
PENNY!!! Where is she skating to?? ~ #theroboshowocs #robotoc #robotocs #robotcharacter #ocart #originalstory #digitalart #characterdesign #characterart
HECTOR TRIFECTA!!! What is he saying into the microphone? ~ #theroboshowocs #robotoc #robotcharacter #tvhead #tvheadoc #digitalart #originalstory #ocart #characterdesign #characterart #originalcharacter
“HE DOESN’T EVEN HAVE YOUTUBE?!?” No he doesn’t, he’s from the 80s. Enjoy my sketches this whole thing took me less than an hour because apparently when I don’t draw for like a week then it all comes out at once ~ #theroboshowocs #robotoc #robotocs #robotcharacter #oc #originalcharacter #ocart #originalstory #digitalart #digitalillustration #sketchdump #characterdesign #characterart
I am the jester, my job’s to entertain! 🎭 HECTORRR HE IS HERE I have such good ideas for the robots’ backstories but I can’t decide whether to make it public knowledge or leave it to be a twist! I don’t even know if it will actually be a twist in their story or if you’ll just know it from the start. Would you like to know?? Maybe I should make a post about it.. IDK 😫 Anyway enjoy Hector being happy and doing his job properly for once lol ~ #digitalart #robot #robotoc #robotocs #robotcharacter #tvhead #characterdesign #oc #originalcharacter #characterillustration #theroboshowocs
HEART SHATTERED INSTANTLY 💔 I made a fun comic because I had a good idea and needed to get it out lol Again, poor Hector. But at least the kids are there to comfort him when he beats himself up and gets embarrassed 😭 ~ #theroboshowocs #robotoc #robotcharacter #tvhead #comic #digitalart #digitalillustration #originalcharacter #oc #originalstory #originalart
OVERHEAT!!! ~ #theroboshowocs #robotoc #robotcharacter #originalart #originalstory #digitalart #characterdesign
Look at my boy. He’s so adorable I don’t appreciate him enough. Just look at him 😭 ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #theroboshowocs
“See you next time on… The Robo Show!” I got inspired by The Amazing Digital Circus and since these guys are supposed to be funky little characters from a tv show, they fit the music perfectly! I need to draw the TADC characters too though because I’m in love with the designs :D Right after this imagine a zoom in on Clyde as he says goodbye, a lot like Looney Tunes lol ~ #theamazingdigitalcircus #tadc #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #theroboshowocs
“Welcome to the Culture Corner, dear viewers!” In the Robo-Show, Miss Meridian has a segment called ‘the Culture Corner’ where she teaches the children about a different place and culture. Her parts of the show are very chill and slow-paced, matching her personality compared to the rest of the robots. ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #theroboshowocs
SHOWTIME!!! Caught him off guard lol I’m SO happy with how this one turned out! It’s funny, I’ve barely drawn in the last few weeks, and this one I did from scratch all in one day. Not sure how that happened 😅 ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #theroboshowocs
Penny’s going places today! And having built in rollerblades really does help with running errands! Who is she off to help? Hector, Meridian or Clyde? Probably all three. ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #theroboshowocs
Digitised a sketch I shared to my story a little while ago! And also gave the puppets names! Jibber and Jabber - quite accurate for what they do. They might like annoying Hector, but I still find them very cute 😌 By the way, I’ve got a Spotify page with some character playlists, including one that I’m building for the Robo-Show! It’s always a work in progress that gets added to over time, but feel free to check it out! The link is on my linktree in my bio :) ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
The colourful cast of the Robo-Show says hello! Yay they’re all together!! And they love each other very much. Who is your favourite? Hector, Meridian, Clyde or Penny? I love them all too much lol (I have a feeling Hector might come out on top of this aha) ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
Penny is here to teach you how to count!! And how to roller-blade!! Yet another addition to my Robot cast! Penny is a fun-loving robot with a clock for a head and abacus beads on her arms. She loves to help others out and is often seen racing around doing errands! I wanted to make a maths character for my fictional little robot show, but I wanted her to be fun too, because I feel like every single kid hates maths lol Also, thinking of maybe ‘the Robo-Show’ as a name. Thoughts? (It’s really hard to come up with a catchy name 😭) ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
Trying to read!! As part of Hector’s job on the show, he often tries to read stories to the viewer with his puppets, who play the different characters. Buuut sometimes they have their own ideas about how the story should go.. I tried out a slightly different colouring style inspired by those old Sesame Street / Muppet picture books. I would LOVE to make a whole book inspired by those - I think the characters in this world would fit really well. ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
His puppets love him, but they love annoying him more XD Still can’t get this guy outta my head lol so prepare to see more of him! I’ve done lots of sketches (as you probably saw in my story) so I might turn some of them digital! ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
This is Miss Meridian, another of my robot OCs alongside Clyde and Hector! With a globe for a head, her segments on the show focus on different places around the world, wherever she points to when her head stops spinning! I like to think her personality is quite gentle and a bit ditzy, but with sincerity and a love for learning about other cultures and places. ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
Whilst not performing, Hector doesn’t quite know how to act. Or talk. Or anything. To be honest, if I had two unpredictable sock puppets attached to me I wouldn’t be very socially fluent either.. (I think he needs a hug) ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #theroboshowocs
Introducing Hector Trifecta, the show’s official clown with not one but three individual control systems - one in his head, and one in each of the puppets - making for a very clumsy, apologetic robot. This poor guy lol 😭 his lil sock puppets do whatever they want and sometimes they’re very rude.. he is just the opposite. Just trying to get by without trouble but constantly falling into it. Hector belongs in the same world and show as Clyde, the host - ideas have been very nicely coming to me, although the show itself doesn’t have a name yet. When it does, I’ll make a tag for it :) ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #myart #mystory #robotcharacter #characterref #refsheet #ocrefsheet #theroboshowocs
An 80s kids show featuring robots of all shapes and sizes, with Clyde as your friendly host! But what if he escapes the show’s set? His lower half was never meant to be seen by viewers, so they didn’t make it as friendly-looking or as streamlined as the rest of him.. He’s just a well-meaning little guy who’s very curious about the outside world 😌 So basically this vague character design popped up in a dream and I scribbled it down quickly, then reformed it, and this is the result!! Honestly I don’t know how I dream in cartoons sometimes.. Love it when my subconscious thinks of a character for me XD I wanna make more characters in his world that are from the show - ideas?? ~ #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #cartoon #robot #robotoc #characterdesign #originalcharacter #oc #originalcharacterdesign #80s #originalstory #artist #artistsoninstagram #originalart #scifi #sciencefictionart #scificharacter #theroboshowocs
