I haven’t shown off a robot in a while- except for the sexy lady robots (2)… they don’t count. That’s a different series entirely. For those of you who’ve followed me for a while, here’s a quick little sketch of one I did tonight in the old style of a guy named “Burnbot”. Click to embiggen.
Here’s another pencil sketch for the design of Lisa Marie’s body.
I’m pushing her proportions further, and I gave her a new head. She’s looking very much like an alien in this one. In fact, she’s looking quite different than the original, but I swear I started out with the previous drawing in mind.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing at this stage. I’m still trying to figure her out, and I don’t mind trying out different ideas at this point.

When I originally drew Priscilla, I planned to do a series of sexy robot women based on concept cars. I’m just finally getting around to expanding that lineup with this character, named Lisa Marie.

Here’s an update of Priscilla. I exaggerated her most prominent features and pushed her shapin
g. Even though I’m not terribly worried about color at this point, I think the coloring is pretty successful. Nothing but a delicious, sexy cherry red.
With each character, my technique is evolving, and I’m very happy with the results. They’re still sketches, they still have a lot of energy, but they’re beginning to stand on their own.
I’m creating new work for my portfolio, and I’m trying to challenge myself. I’m drawing inspiration from fashion, music, and graffiti to push these new designs away from the Mr. Grant style and into a edgier, sexier, more urban direction.
At the same time, my new work still need to fit in with the previous stuff, so I have to find some areas of overlap. Continuing the robot theme will help to bridge the old and the new.
Priscilla here is the first character of the new batch. Her design is loosely based on a sports car. I’m planning a series of sports car robot girls. She’s not finished yet- heck, I’m not even sure if I’ll keep the name, but I thought I’d throw her up here so you can watch her progress and see how she evolves.
