28 Days of Robin - Day 11 - Apparently NOT Robin - Heretic

Yo!

A character from the DC Comics New 52 (confusing ass) Teen Titans Futures End story, that I thought was a Robin (potentially Tim Drake) but not, accordingly to my recent checks, ah well. (I also thought his hands were gloved, lol!)

He's Day 11 and that's that :D

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day10 - Angry Birds Robin + more

Hiya!

Angry Birds is such a great little mobile game, so much fun poinging crazy birds against the pigs and destroying their constructions, ooh and the Star Wars version with the whip of gravity round planets - extra fun!!

Probably the same amount of fun I had creating this little guy and then going a bit nuts with variants, finding more as I went though I had to stop sometime as I'd not get onto the next Robin :D

So for this Robin we have:
Robin Red Breast - like the UK version of the bird

Toutouwai - NZ Robin - like the NZ bird :)

The original sketch: Red Robin - like the Rovio bird Red

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 9 - Carrie Kelly Robin

Hi!

From the Dark Knight Returns series by Frank Miller - Carrie Kelly - I think was the first female Robin I came across and thought it was pretty cool that there was a female Robin. 

Think I'll have to go back and re-read the series again :)

It's really enjoyable to see the difference in the finished version of the Carrie Kelly Robin!

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 8 - BlokHedz Robin - Tim Drake

 Hi,

Blokhedz came out at Z Energy service stations in 2014 and I don't believe they ever had a Robin Blokhedz, so, I created my own - Tim Drake version :)

Pretty stoked with how well he turned out

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 7 - Jason Todd - Red Hood

 Hi!

Jason Todd was not really a character I was familiar with till Red Hood came around, so I figure he still deserves a spot in the count of days,

So here he is as Red Hood. Quite a difference from the initial version (and I managed to put his second elbow in this time round :D), cool action pose I think!

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 6 - Damian Wayne

 Hi!

I will admit, not one of my favourite characters to start with but he's grown on me a bit and the launch of his solo series is a good fun read.

In this image, I'd gone with what I felt was a spoilt brat pose, but ended up kinda liking it. A fair bit of difference between the first image and the new tidied up one.

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 5 - Lego Robin - Tim Drake

Tim Drake Robin with his bo staff in Lego form and as an added bonus, with yellow head and limbs - like real Lego haha!

Didn't get far with this version originally but nice to have him rounded out and coloured up this time round.

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 4 - The Flying Grayson

The original Robin - Dick Grayson - flying high with the greatest of ease, above the crowd on his acrobats trapeze!

28 Days of Robin - Day 3 - Stephanie Brown

 Stephanie Brown a.k.a Spoiler had (an all too brief in my opinion) run as Robin, though she did go on to become Batgirl and is now again in a Batgirls comic with Cassandra Cain (yippee!).

In 2015 I didn't quite get there with colouring her and so am quite pleased with the completed 2022 version, much more elegant!

Link to original post

Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 2 - Teen Titans GO!

 Teen Titans Go! Robin - Some rendering changes and highlights ready bring a better sense of depth to the image, fun!

Love his Sonic the Hedgehog style hair, haha! :)


Enjoy!

28 Days of Robin - Day 1 - Hanna-Barbera Style

Day 1 - Six years ago I attempted a daily draw of Robin's for a artistic challenge to complete a fully coloured rendering of a Robin character (existing or made-up) and while I managed sketch out most days in the month, there were not quite complete.


So I thought I'd give it another bash this year, to tidy them up and so of course missed the first day completely, not a great start!

This was a Robin design in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon style (if I can find the original page there's some additional similar HB style sketches) and so was quite a fun first Robin.

Anyhoo I thought I'd post both the original state 2015 and the complete state 2022 for comparison. So here we go!

Link to original 2015 post

Enjoy!

Robins VII, VIII, IX, X

- Red Hood -
- aka Jason Todd (3rd Robin)

Batman got a blockhead character so I decided to give Robin one too :)
- Probably Tim Drake because I am biased.

- Carrie Kelly -
- Originally introduced in Frank Millers Dark Knight Returns DC have reintroduced her in the DCU but we'll be waiting to see if she shows as a Robin.

- Angry Bird -
Red breasted or NZ Black Robin, hmm maybe I'll try both when I colour this little fella :)
 
Enjoy!

Robin's III, IV, V, VI

Hi,

Well I've been zooming through them but not posting quite as regularly. These little fella's didn't make it to the colour stage but I thought I'd share them in the pencil glory :).

III. Stephanie Brown - The Cluemasters daughter graduated to being a Robin and then later moved to become and impressive Batgirl too.



 IV. The Original 'Flying Grayson' - None can really beat the original (though my real favourite is Tim Drake)



V. Lego - Tim Drake - Why? Because Lego superhero's ROCK! :)



VI. Damian Wayne - Yes Bruce has a son, not my favourite to begin with but now he's upped his game and got superpowers to boot! Kick-ass!!


Enjoy!
Rob.

Month of Robin's I & II

Hi,

Seeing as it is my birthday this month, I thought I'd make it a "Month of Robin's".

I haven't quite finished this first one but she's almost ready to go. Though not actually a 'Robin' in any DC comics continuity, I was just having fun with the idea, so here's "Robin I":





Robin II is from one of my favourite animated shows at the moment 'Teen Titans GO!'


I aiming for 28 all up so keep you're eyes peeled for a plethora of Robins!

Happy Friday the Thirteenth!
