Sinistar Object 2

This is the companion piece to Sinistar Object 1.  It's a clay interpretation of a pixelated monster flying demon space head from the 80s video game also called Sinistar.  I had kept this one aside, intending to paint it to get it closer to the colors of the original, but I eventually went with glaze instead.

Sinistar Object 1

Sinistar was a classic arcade game from the 80s.  It was set in space and the player's task was to mine crystals from asteroids to build bombs while enemy ships were also mining crystals to build a gigantic animalistic skull creature which would first taunt you and then devour you.  I only played it a few times.  I found it too difficult to be enjoyable and then there was the matter of the Sinistar itself bellowing taunts like "I hunger, coward!"

I made two Sinistar objects.  I glazed this one and I'm not entirely satisfied with how it came out.  I'm going to paint the next one with acrylics.

The Sinistar in action:

Robotron Tank 4

This is another attempt at the Robotron Tank with a cassette replacing the weird geometric design on the original sprite.

Here's the sprite from the game.  Or maybe it's an illustration from the promotional material.

More Robotron Ornaments

These are the remaining two robot types from Robotron 2084:  the Grunt and the Enforcer.

Robotron Tank 3

The design in the middle of the Robotron tank reminds me of a cassette tape.  Unfortunately, this tank's head became detached from the body.

This is a Tank robot from the arcade game Robotron 2084.

Robotron Ornaments

These were meant to be smaller Robotron 2084 objects to be used as Christmas tree ornaments, but they're probably still too heavy.

Robotron Brain 3

This is another Brain robot wall sculpture from the video game Robotron 2084.

Robotron Brain 2

Robotron 2084 Brain Wall Sculpture. 

This Robotron Brain was overfired due to a kiln malfunction and has a rough texture.  I glazed it using various oxides and Queens glaze. Eventually purged.

Here it is before glazing.

Robotron Brain 1

This is a Brain robot from the classic video game Robotron 2084.  The player's character plays the last real human being on Earth who must fight through hordes of robots, varying from mindless Grunts to the hyperintelligent Brains, which are able to convert the remaining cloned humans into deadly mutants.

This one is painted with acrylics.
