TMNT Redesign Challenge #15 - FUGITOID

[Ulisses31]

I always loved this name, FUGITOID, don´t know why but it works so good for this character.

Also loved the round shaped robot. He and Usagi are my favorite secondary characters.

IDW redesigned him, but for some reason it had not the same spark. Was great, but wasn´t shinny :).

Hope to get real redesigns this time, go deep on your imagination and bring us the ultimate Fugitoid design.

Can you take this challenge?


End Date: 25th September 2012.


Some info for inspiration can be found here and you can also search the net yourself:

http://tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/Professor_Honeycutt

From TMNTpedia: Fugitoid

The Fugitoid is a fugitive android, a pre-TMNT Mirage Studios character who later became integrated into their universe. He was initially Professor Honeycutt, a scientist from another world whose mind became trapped in his android creation SAL.

I guess I'll be the first to reply with a submission. This is just a first quick go around. I'll probably draw something else also. Not really happy with how this came out.

So I figured I should put a little why the design. Going with the idea that Sal would be a worker robot before becoming one with Honeycutt I went with a more bulky body. The idea of the brain was that durring an attack to capture him his body is wounded and one of the waring sides saved his brain and fused it with the robot.

I voted for Casey Jones for next challenge! One of the big ones! :D :tgrin: :tcool:

OT Shredder! It will be near Halloween, so what a way to try a wretched villain for the occassion. Not to mention the man that looks like the one used in the '90s Nicktoon promo is heading for the Technodrome.

I never really thought about it much before, but the Fugitoid does have a similarity with Fred Wolf Krang. Both of them are more-or-less "brains" without a body. Your piece made me think of that, even though the 'Toid is traditionally portrayed as possessing the "mind" of Professor Honeycutt but non of his actual biology.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I wanted to go with a completely different take with this one. Figured I should try and stay away from any thing that could be mistaken for just a slight tweak. I'm working on some other ideas still.

Here is my second take on the character.

Here is my redesign of Fugitoid

[Cowabunga Carl]

it's cool to see another design. I like it.

[zkarlette]

Good job guys! I really like the new face pattern Roland!

[Ulisses31]

Who else will participate? I´m doing mine this time, and I´m going to run for the gold.

Ha Haha, Ha Haha Haha. (from dexter laboratory)

[cartoonistaaron]

Who else will participate? I´m doing mine this time, and I´m going to run for the gold.

I've got one but it's still just a sketch - try to get it done this week. Super busy but I think I can finish it up pretty nice. If not I'll just upload the sketch. Hope to see more of everyone else's! Koschei? Powder?

[Roland]

it's cool to see another design. I like it.
Thanks Old Hob. I like yours too. The first one reminds me of Vectorman.
Good job guys! I really like the new face pattern Roland!
Thanks Zkarlette.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I've been trying to think of a new take on this, something even farther then just a change in robot shape that would make the redesign even more unique but drawing a blank.

I'm excited to see what others come up with though.

[Roland]

I've been trying to think of a new take on this, something even farther then just a change in robot shape that would make the redesign even more unique but drawing a blank.

Maybe make fugitoid have the ability to shapeshift via nanobots (or nannites like Generator Rex ) or maybe the ability to merge with any tech (like upgrade in Ben 10 ). Fugitoid could use diamond exoskeleton instead of steal. Thats all I can think of now.

[Redeemer]

I am going to try to submit something tomarrow night, hopefully after work.:tgrin:

[cartoonistaaron]

I'm doing one too! Even if it's just a pencil sketch!

Mine is not a drastic redesign. I want it to still be obviously Fugitoid, just a little updated. I'm not imaginative enough to give him a new look. Every robot I draw looks like a cross between Mecha Godzilla and that robot from Short Circuit.

[Roland]

2 days to go! Hope you all can get your redesign finished in time.

[Cowabunga Carl]

No one else? I was looking forward to seeing everyones.

[Redeemer]

Posting mine tonight guys, Appologies, but my entry will be technically late, but I will submit one in late tonight after I get off work and school. (about 10pm est.)
Again I appologize for the late entry.

[Redeemer]

Unfortunately My Scanner wont work with the Computer my brother gave me, so unfortunately I wont be able submit my sketh:cry:

Hopefully I will be able to post here eventually though

[Roland]

If you have digital camera you could take a photo of your sketch. That is how I get my sketches onto the PC.

[Cowabunga Carl]

He hasn't made a voting thread yet so I'm sure if you could get it up soon he wouldn't cut you off. But I can't speak for him.

[Ulisses31]

waiting for last entries until 30th no more, thanks

[cartoonistaaron]

I've got one! I forgot about the deadline! I'll post it later today.

[Roland]

Next redesign is going to be Baxter Stockman. He'll make for some great redesign.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I want to know who won this round though first, lol

[Ulisses31]

I was hopping more entries also I have mine sketched but never finished it, I extend the dead line more? Until day 5th October then will be really the end. Hope more people get to participate.

[Cowabunga Carl]

You're the boss man. Just excited to see if I'll do good this time. Haven't had a strong showing in the last few I've participated in.

[Ulisses31]

Carl and Roland, do you mind to wait a couple of days more? I have a sketch to end and also cartoonistaaron, but if you two want it to end I start a poll whit your 3 draws.

We will eventually put our redesigns here, but I believe it would be more fair if we don´t enter the contest, I believe in your decision, Roland and Carl, let me know if you want us on the poll or not :)

[Vrosch]

If the contest is still on, i have an entry here. If not i still wanne share it.
Fugitoid was one of my most loved toys back in the days.

Extend the date, I would love to see your redesigns. It would be more fun to see more redesigns.

Cool redesign Vrosch!

[Cowabunga Carl]

That's fine man. Just as long as it doesn't get forgotten.

[cartoonistaaron]

Vrosch - nice drawing! It reminds me of the action figure!

[Ulisses31]

The contest is on and it will have more 2 days if others want to join.

Each participant can submit 2 redesign so Aaron and I, we have done a little tag team entry...

Here it is:

In the spoiler is Aaron original art and a version of Fugitoid with no background.

I am still doing my own entry so if Aaron want to do another or if one of you want to do a 2nd entry let me know if you need more time.

[cartoonistaaron]

Nice job! You made my sloppy drawing look like a work of art!

[Ulisses31]

Is anyone here still working? If not tomorrow I will start the poll.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Excited for the poll. I want to know how bad I did :-p

[Ulisses31]

I promised to do a redesign myself, let me know if is any good...

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/12/68/13/09/fugito16.jpg

Sorry for so much delay, but (thanks to the Green Goddess) I´m with much work, soon I will post about it in the appropriate forum section.

Oh, check the lineart inside the spoiler... I like it almost as much as the final colored version:

http://i38.servimg.com/u/f38/12/68/13/09/digita10.jpg
I had no more white paper so I had to use some orange paper that was inside my printer, my kids use it to print fake money :)
My regular webdesign work gives me much to do, and now with all I´m making (vintage style barbaric world comics...) I can´t do much just for fun :)

Hey but I don´t give up, I love the Technodrome art section and the redesign challenges are alive and I will keep them running :)

[Roland]

Nice tag team art you too. Looks awesome! Ulisses31 your own one look awesome too. Redeemer may want to enter still.

[Ulisses31]

We can wait for Redeemer, I will check with him then... thanks :)

[Ulisses31]

Ok Redeemer can´t participate this time... tomorrow I start the poll if no one else want to join.

-edit-

Ok here it is new poll http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=39655

[Luzmagica]

Ok!!! Few draws, hard poll tho. !!!!!! :tgrin: :tcool: :tgrin: :twink:

[Ulisses31]

Thanks everyone, who is motivated for Baxter Stockman?

[Roland]

I am game. I think I might just have a great idea for his redesign.

[Ulisses31]

I will use some rule 63 on him lol
