Hiya!
In June this year one of my colleagues headed off to Europe to spend time with family and so i had to do a leaving card that highlighted some of the things we shared/dealt with at work.
I had a lot of fun with this and he really enjoyed it too!
Enjoy!

Hola,
It's been a while and haven't things been busy! It's all good though because it means more art to share.
Check out this triple treat, three fun and bright caricatures delivering personality, happiness and personalisation for each of the recipients.
It was a total pleasure creating these and adding the signature things to distinguish each of the personalities represented in them.
Cheers,
Rob!
Hi!
Day 14 - gives us Robin the Toy Wonder - Hey it was 1998 :D - it seemed like fun at the time and was part of the DC One Million event.
Back story on Robin- the Toy Wonder:
Robin the Toy Wonder is the Robin of the 853rd Century, the robot sidekick of Batman.
Batman's parents were guards on the prison planet of Pluto, but were killed in a prison riot that turned into a mass slaughter of the guards. Robin is programmed with the personality of this Batman as a boy. He was created as his conscience to remind him not to go too far in his cause for justice. The Toy Wonder believes this was the same reason the original Batman brought the first Robin into his life.

Enjoy the pictures!

Hi!
Day 13 brings us Harper Row, a character brought into the Scott Snyder Batman run and I think an awesome character and while not technically a 'Robin', she's definitely Robin-worthy!.
A bit of back story:
Harper Row, also known as Bluebird, is one of Batman's allies. She is gifted at electrical engineering. Harper progressed from a bat-tech support through the events of the Batman Eternal storyline to become Bluebird.
Enjoy the pictures!

Hi,
1 Million years - well okay two (at least)
I picked up this image through the talented kiwi artist Edmo Central and the source image from Sweeny Boo and wanted to put my spin on it. I started it two years ago and have finally finished playing with the idea, cleaned and coloured it up.
Sweeny Boo's original - https://www.facebook.com/sweeneyboo/
Edmo Central's version - https://www.facebook.com/edmocentral/ - (careful some NSFW)

Hi there!
I've been enjoying Daniel Warren Johnsons' larger than life wrestling comic "Do a Powerbomb"! And with DWJ featuring fanart in the issues I had the inspiration to put (watercolour) pencils and inks to paper and whiz up this piece, this is the main character is Lona Steelrose.
It was a lot of fun and came out just as I wanted it too, i.e. not looking too much like coloured pencils and more like watercolour and am happy with the results, I've submitted it and have fingers crossed it may find its way into the comic, though we shall see :)
I hope you enjoy the progress shots, the DLPW (Death Lyfe Pro Wrestling) belt was a bit of work with the emblem design, though satisfying to complete!
Cheers,
Robin

Hi!
I had some inspiration the other day from the talented Ryan Scott Illustration where he drew a very cool and fun perspective view of entertainer and icon Willie Nelson.
Drawing on this inspiration - and the fact that Slash's new album '4' featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators was all over my social media - well I had to take his Willie and go for a Slash.
Jokes aside the artist journey was really fun, mixing the pencils, inks, coloured pencils and computer colours and effects, along with leaving that rawness of the pencils in there, here is a artistic journey from inspiration to finished piece.
I hope you enjoy and please check out Ryan's work on face book and his website WWW.RYANSCOTTDRAWS.COM
Cheers,
Rob!
Hi!
Day 12 brings us a Nightwing costume with red highlights.
"The red is believed to be a nod to the Bat Family, as most members of the Bat Family have used red in their costume in some way. His use of red is believed to symbolize his reunification with his mentor, his reconciliation with his past, and his willingness to be included as a member of the Bat Family."
from 10 Things about Nightwing
Seems a bit deep but hey there's gotta be some reasoning behind it right?
Enjoy!
Rob
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!
Rob
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!

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!
Rob
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!
Rob
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!
Rob
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!
Rob
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!
Enjoy!
Rob
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! :)
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!
Enjoy!
Rob
