A Place of a Contemplating Robot

I went with something more low-key. Jenny deserves some quiet, calm time now and then.😊(Also, a little reference in the title, and not just to the og show😉)

Really wanted to get another loose illustration out in time for the 20th anniversary. Plus, I’ve been meaning to do a calm piece. Between Jenny’s world-saving duty, life drama, robot-related issues, & people’s pettiness (sometimes including her own😓), I thought that she could use time to herself. That 3rd reason kinda sounds like sending a kid off to timeout for misbehavior, but hey, there might be stress behind that pettiness.🤷‍♀️ She does have the weight of the world on her shoulders. That, or it might be timeout-like after all😆 where she gets alone time to directly face her mental problems, with no physical problems to distract her.🤔

Or more interesting: needing to handle her mental problem in order to handle her physical one.🤯

Some might think calmer moments are boring, but I consider it a welcomed, necessary breath of fresh air, especially as someone who had a loud, tense upbringing.

Mini Journal

Ended up needing to keep my iPad charging the whole time; larger resolution (11x14” @ 300dpi) *and* Fresco’s live watercolor brushes drained it more quickly (~20% in 20 minutes). Even then, still a lot of crashes once I finished the sidewalk and bench. Now, only rarely do at that resolution. Watercolor-styled pieces will likely be 9x12” @ 300dpi, max.

Far more painful painting process in a full space. In a way, more directly an urban-sketching styled piece because now, it’s in a physical place instead of a void w/ colors! Similar to before, I mitigated some of the difficulty by using an analogous color scheme. This time, I really struggled with working w/ whitespace, like in Teoh Yi Chie’s or Liz Steel’s urban sketching styles.

What helped may have been a style I saw in this colored pencil Liz Steel piece https://www.lizsteel.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/LizSteel-159-1104CafeFeohPacHwy.jpg , where sidewalk & road are white, & the only blocks of color are for cast shadows.

Self-Reference

I got into the pose myself, mainly to fix her bent leg & folded hands. In the end, moved the bend leg up, just showed her right hands’ fingers & her left hand’s index finger, & unbent her other leg. Tried to focus on the feeling & gesture of the pose, rather than follow the pose exactly to a T. Mlaatr is just about the perfect style for that, being a gestural cartoon.

Concurrent Illustrating & Post/Note-Taking

I illustrated & prepped my post at same time (...at least until I got to painting the sidewalk😥). In a way, it’s kinda good I didn’t do it this way before, since I didn't have set categories (like Behind-the scenes or Mini Journal) yet. Nonetheless, I still tried to be as organized as possible by having a preliminary & final version of the post on a Google Doc (especially since ELA has been my historical weak area😥).

Behind-the-Scenes: Story, Color Scheme, & Color Application Influences. 

Tone & situation/implied story: the 1998 Yokohama Shopping Log OVA, with a robot (in YSL's case, a more human-like android) just hanging out and living life. Maybe even resolving some past problems or relationships.

Color scheme & watercolor style:

grass: how he colored the tree leaves here, by letting the colors mix on the page instead of mixing them himself. https://twitter.com/ParkaBlogs/status/1682275817668362240?s=20 

sidewalk: after a lot of struggling, went with Liz Steel’s colored pencil technique: layering lots of colors, especially in shadow areas https://www.lizsteel.com/switching-to-coloured-pencils/ , along with, as noted w/ the first colored pencil sketch I listed, having the rest of the roads/sidewalks be white—controlling whitespace

Cutting it close, but here's my submission for #20YearsofMLAATR, combining both the Color Wheel trend that's been going around recently and my favorite part of MLAATR as a kid (watching Jenny change color depending on the nature of the scene she was in.)

Wanted to do my part in celebrating #20YearsOfMLAATR on Twitter. This is one of my favorite shows of all time & I equally love this show & the Oh Yeah! Cartoons pilot.

Hey y'all!!

I know that it's been a hot minute since I last posted any material related to mlaatr (it's been a month - holy shit???), but my schedule with school has been making everything crazy!!!

Buuuuut now that the semester is ending soon... I now have more free time to draw before I have tests coming up!! (I really need to study those but I have my own drawcember pieces that I really want to share too before the time comes!!)

And since I've been lingering more with the bluey fandom, mlaatr has been wearing me out a bit. Sure it's a childhood cult classic of mine, but I've been more in a bluey mood. I haven't watched any more of it in a while (again cuz of school), NOR AMPHIBIA!!!!, but you'll be seeing more bluey art from me in the near future! (With some mlaatr and other cartoons sprinkled here and there) but the last piece of mlaatr merch that I'm still waiting to get for now is the new all star brawl 2 game and... I am disappointed that they didn't add raggedy android jenny's skin in the game but I drew a "what-if" model for her if her skin was ever going to make it in the game, along with the more creepier look which I'll draw soon. It turns out that they didn't, but maybe in the third installment they could bring those two iconic looks back!! (And don't mind the black lips. I didn't have time to color her lips red)

Anyways... more to come soon!! I promise!! I pinky swear!! I pinkie promise!! Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye- oh wait... no... forget that. I'M NOT A PEGASISTER ANYMORE I FUCKING SWEAR!!!

She is beautiful in her own unique ways...
