Just a sketch today, I could do with an early night.

#mechatober2025 no 28, Crystal. My original idea for this one was sub-par so, in a way, I'm glad I left it until waaay late to do it properly; I think this one has some neat elements to it that I'd like to improve on in the future.

Mechatober 27, Otherworldly; things got a little bit Klendathu. I refuse to accept this new month's attempt to stop me getting everything finished on schedule :D

#Mechatober2025 no 24, Freeze. Made a slightly snowman-looking mech with icicle spikes, quilted jacket, and tacticool-snood.

#Mechatober no 26, Race. It's basically a skating mech with jet engines for fists, that naruto-runs. I like the idea, not so much the execution, so it's one I'll return to at another point.

#mechatober 20, Tread. I don't know why, after the monowheel tank, I was struggling for an idea for tread: All I had to do was design a robot that used the instability of a trike to ruin the functionality of a tank! :D

#mechatober2025 21, Graceful. Err... Freddie Mechury?

#mechatober2025 22, Hollow. My initially thoughts were along the lines of Zakat; a big hollow sphere type mech. Glad I persisted, as I prefer this idea. It's based on the Brazen Bull.

#mechatober2025 19, Flame. This one took too long because all I could think about was a robot with it's head on fire. Think I did enough to make it seem a little interesting, but it's probably one that could do with a revisit to push the idea a bit further.

#Mechatober2025 18, Kaiju. I feel like a lot of this month is just turning into me trying to find ways to incorporate big gloves into everything.

#mechatober2025 17, Duelist. Had a very wild train of thought going for this one; an oversized revolver with a basket hilt wrapped around the mech's body. It's not a combat mech, but designed exclusively for competition shooting (at another mech).

#mechatober2025 15, Insect. Little bit accidentally ad-mech but, eh, whatever.

#mechatober2025 no 14, Clockwork. Steampunk, gears, & cogs are all things outside my wheelhouse so I guess I went with a digital clock :D

uh-oh, falling back behind. Here's #mechatober2025 13, Lightning.

#mechatober2025 No. 12 - Bio. I guess I put a fair few "bio" elements in my designs anyway so, for this one, I just turned them up a little bit; more teeth, tongue body, and a pumpkin colour-scheme to appear suitably spoopy.

#mechatober2025, 09 - Toxic. Went with something based on one of those frogs you shouldn't lick (more than all the other frogs you also shouldn't lick). They're poisonous but that counts as toxic, right?

Mechatober2025, No 8, Solar. Should've made the sun a little more sun-like, but I want to get through a few of these guys tonight.

#Mechatober2025 no 7, Fantasy, was obvious: had to be a wizard mech. But another thought was floating around my head; "what if Hat, but also... Zock?"

#Mechatober2025 no 6 - Experimental. And it's a bone-armoured monowheel-tank. I have to admit, I got a bit stuck on what would actually make something -look- experimental. Best I could come up with was something that looked so obviously destined to fail it could never be more than an experiment.

Goddamnit! It's only Thomas the Tank Engine again. I think my default colour-scheme settings need rebooted. Anyways, it's Mechatober2025 no 5: Scavenger. I figure it puts fancy bits in the container on its back and has a limited ability to carry things while mono-wheeling about.

No 4. Antique... Ball gown? It's all I could come up with and it has, by far, the largest teeth I've ever put on a robot. #Mechatober2025

Mechatober again, and the 3rd one is "carrier."

#Mechatober2025 No.2 Mercenary. And, apparently, nothing screams "mercenary" to me more than a demented Thomas the Tank Engine enthusiast. I had to put some orange on the top to try and break that vibe down a little bit :D

Gonna try and do #Mechatober2025, Starting with "Recon." I figure it has big Tharsis-style reverse-feet to stop it tipping backwards.

Brimless ful-face top hat with intergrated poncho was how I described this one. The process was wildly all over the place :D

Last #shiptember one and it's another sailcraft to wrap things up.

Another Rally-bot. Sponsor decals are annoying because I do them from scratch every damn time :D I should make myself a sheet to save time.

More shiptember. Bit of a fighter, more than a ship, so... fightember?

Absolutely didn't think about landing gear so I guess it just hovers wherever it parks up :D

little bit more shiptember.

Very nautical themed spaceship. Started with the small one in the foreground, that I figured was a little too small to qualify as a "ship", so I whacked a big ol' cargo hauler behind it.

My favourite part of this design ended up being the carrot-sarcophagus-projectile fingers. As the timelapse shows, they weren't my initial plan but, once I coloured them orange, I knew it was the right decision.

It's a cyborg. So it should probably have humanoid feet... but I've spent so much time drawing my weird robot feet that I'm affraid I may have forgotten how to actually draw normal, humanoid feet :'D

Another living fish-ship (although a new one this time). Lots of levitating without explanation going on here :D

Another throwback; this time a big, biomechanoid whale ship swimming through an asteroid sea (of a suitably sci-fi-esque density).

I figure it moves a lot like a Dom, with those absurd flares hiding some... hovercraft feet?

I quite enjoy the hyper-extension on the collar bones as a means to clear the thunder. it ensure the arms have a good range of movement and the thighs still have it goin' on.

Throwback Thursday, but to keep things spicy, it's on a Wednesday! I have lost the original, in fact this is half of it (not missing much though, the other half is just space).

I feel like my robots sketches have been getting a bit too formulaic, so I wasn't finishing any. This little brain refresher has freed up my mind though. Also, side notes: single arm, can go all around the body.

Sailing ship.

Another bone-spacecraft. I may redo it but, as usual, that will be some other time and place, so I don't get stuck on the same idea.

Another timelapse of a previous illustration. One of those times where I was fairly focused and didn't have to make any significant alterations. Those times make for the best videos.

Cargo transporter for #Shiptember. Although its cargo-to-thruster ratio is a bit whack. Fast deliveries, I guess?

Since that flowery broad-shouldered robot I did, I've become obsessed with maroon/yellow against desaturated blue for colour-schemes; they're very pleasing colours. #shiptember

Less of a ship, more of a fighter I guess. The armour/shell is meant to look more like bone.

First Shiptember design. Got to admit, I feel the colour-scheme is a little sedate; I need to change that up. The flower pattern on the second-to-last mech I posted might really work well on something larger like this.

Gonna do #shiptember this year, but I need to go to sleep so I'll leave this one unfinished until tomorrow.

Terminatatas

Flower theme with some flying daggers. Might play around with similar "paint jobs" on future mechs, a bit of refinement and it could look quite cool.

A mix of an old F1 car and a smol tank. It's a fun juxtaposition of incompatible design philosophies. The "weakspot" obviously being the exposed engine at the back; about 50% of the vehicle, and all the view from the rear is funny; whomever took the lead would always be wiped out :'D
