This is my debut piece for my Weasyl account. Just posted this on my new DeviantArt as well.

I did this painting back in High School. It's A3 in size, done in watercolour and a pen. Never imagined I'd be uploading this guy onto the net, but I've recently got back into art and I want to contribute to the community. Back when I was creating this work, I had no idea about perspective, colour theory, values, composition and so on. I just did what looked right to me lol. I started off by visiting a local museum which has a stunning stuffed Tiger. I pulled up a chair in front of him and sketched. I then went back home, increased the size of the sketch, then used that as an underlay for my robot design.

He's powered by a 392 Hemi V8, which runs a series of hydraulic pumps. None of that electric motor, renewable hydrogen fuel cell nonsense.

Artwork and V8 Robot Tiger character design (C) Scaglietti 2014. I don't usually talk at length about copyright, but in this case, I just want to say that this character design is very sentimental to me, so please fully respect the copyright I have on this design.

Hemi is a TradeMark of Chrysler.
