Day 10 – Lightron

The driving test is done, I don’t make it. On the way back home, I am thinking of traffic lights and what a cool character they would make. Maybe I should think more about the test, which I end up doing. Several hours later when the disappointment of failing the test is wearing off and I have booked myself for another test, I start sketching. This one is easy, from sketch to vector to presentation in under 60 minutes.

In a galaxy far far away is a planet called Traffikasia where millions of rolling metal balls create a traffic symphony unlike anything you have ever seen. Shiny, metallic globes moving evenly at a safe distance, crossing paths but never colliding. But danger lurks at the intersections! Lightron has multiple personalities rolled up in one skinny robot body. The angry red eye, the sleepy orange eye and the go-go-go green eye. Lightron is forever upto mischief flashing crazy lights and causing commuter chaos … bad robot indeed!

Time Taken : 60 minutes

Softwares : Illustrator CS 4 & Photoshop CS 4

Font for Lightron : Perestroika

    I like this one. The red light has piercing look, don’t mess with that one.

    I really enjoyed this illustration. Love the humour and back-story, it adds so much more depth to the already fantastic idea you have illustrated. Ever thought of publishing a graphic novel with all your characters in their respective creative settings? :)
