Sparrow Assault

The Walter robots are out on a stroll (with human supervision of course) to show GG around in beautiful Balboa Park one sunny afternoon. The Spine is having a trip down memory lane by himself; talking about World's Fairs and such while the others are enjoying the local wildlife.

My contribution to the third round of the "Let's draw SPG" project on Tumblr. This is just too much fun to pass up!

I wanted to place the robots in a familiar and nostalgically important location - Balboa Park in San Diego, California. IRL, this place is where the band started busking as their robot characters and built the very foundation to the act we see today.

I have discovered that I don't like to rely too much on photo references when making backgrounds. It's much more rewarding to simply use my imagination, and that's why I like the previous group picture better. But I had fun nevertheless with this outdoor scene; figuring out daylight, textures, expressions... and generally messing up their daytrip.
