Measurements and more robots on Agent X kickplate
Felt refreshed enough now that I took a little bit of a break from working on this artwork that I got back at it today. I redrew the arms, or about 60% of them, from the closer more details photos I had gotten later on. I spliced that artwork into the robot I had, making a copy of the finished one before I started working and then I had a copy of the after as well.
I moved the robot over, duplicated it, rotated and sized it until I had three that fit really well like the originals on the kickplate.
Then I started to attack the borders. I drew the outer black border, and the beveled green towards the outside. I started to adjust them so I had straighter lines, things were equal, etc. etc. I evened up the top of the kickplate and called it good for now.
I had to get measurements from Richard on this piece probably next. But in terms of the art, I can make the artwork butt up nicer to the borders and I can check my spacing a little bit. I also have to make masks for the robots, because the way I drew it with negative space more than individual objects I can’t just push the robots back in the stacking order.

Today Christine came back with Lady to let the two dogs meet each other. It went…ok. I don’t think it was as nice as when Nokes met Hunter, probably because Hunter was in control because he was so much bigger. With Lady, Nokes is about the same size, but had the same amount of craziness. She did some growling, but towards the end of the 45 min session, they seemed ok with each other. Nokes kept batting at Lady with a paw to the nose, we naturally didn’t like that. The one funny thing that comes to mind, was the whenever Nokes when to sniff Lady’s backside, she just sat down. On cue, everytime, you could plan your day around it. I found this very funny, in Lady’s case, no really means no.

Today Nokes went in the car with Sarah and she said he stuck his head out the window. He apparently was puppy Joe cool too, one paw deftly pointed down and he head cocked like a stud.
Oh and he did a number on that firehose chew toy, it is frayed all over the place. Good thing it is for heavy chewers because he is going to seperate the two pieces within a couple of weeks I imagine.
