These are the cool monstrous creations of Brian Miller. He recently completed them for The Robot Workshop activity book. Someone should turn his work into a sci-fi animation series a la Samurai Jack.
Giant Moster Smash!:
I actually had a few different options for the spread which included a more pulled out view of the monster, but the upclose view, as suggested by Giuseppe, worked much better within the context of the book.
Rise of the Evil Robots:
This was my favorite spread, hands down. The machinery, the composition, the robots... all of it was so much fun to draw!
Invaders From Outer Space:
I grew up on shows like Robotech so I was excited to draw an alien invasion scene.
Bug Out:
To me, being able to explore artwork and find things within it was always rewarding as a kid.
Danger At 50,000 Leagues:
I really wanted to incorporate the typography into the scene as opposed to having it tacked on as an afterthought - and this was one scene which I thought came together well.
The Victory Screen:
I kept imagining the end of all those video games I played in the 80's as the credits rolled and all the characters were on screen cheering.
