I hope I can come up with ideas for a few of these. With the space ships I've had decades of scribbles to lean on. With robots, I've got like... one, and I don't know where it is. I'm guessing it's really easy to end up with something silly looking too.

@wibble I'm not sure which direction they'll go. If the past is any indication, they'll mostly be a mix of Iron Giant, Matt Dixon and art-deco kitchen appliances.
@publiusr I IMDB'd his name, to make sure I was thinking of the right guy. That was quite the career. "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Star Trek", "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and scores of TV guest shots.
I mentioned Matt Dixon before. I recommend his work. https://mattdixon.co.uk/ There's a lot of pathos (and whimsy) there.
Yeah. When I was a kid, things like that (more or less) were outside many of the stores that don't exist any more. I like the original so much that I bought a signed print and had it framed.
It sort of reminds me of life: hoping for an amazing, fun experience, but the ride isn't even plugged in.
There's still a horsey ride one at a Meijer nearish to where I live. I think it costs a penny, but who has pennies any more?
I think this is the first thing I've ever done that I need to credit someone else for. I'm perplexed by how I need to handle that. I've posted a link to his site and I plan to add his name to the 3D model, but since it's as direct a copy as it is, would I need to get permission to post an image of the source artwork?
I'm not going to try to make money from it, but does that matter?
This is another interpretation of one of Matt Dixon's works - "Absent Friends". I've gotten just far enough to realize I need to start over. Except for the chairs. The shape's not bad - so far.

Maybe something in this direction?

Maybe two thumbs?
Anyway, I'm getting closer to the ground. (AutoCAD got a little carried away with the perspective.)

I think I enjoy doing the ships more than I do the robots. Well, so far anyway. I guess it's hard to decide after only doing the first one.

I know what you mean. I tried my hand at making some robots years ago, I haven't done any since then.
Anyway, this is based on my favorite Matt Dixon design.

Yeah, some were still lurking about when I was really little in the 80s, but I think they were pretty much gone by the 90s.

I think I'll come back to this later.
