Sweet Dreams 🌙

("Lantern" with Cauldron Contents palette)

First Frame: (worms eye, dutch tilt, 3 point perspective) A spooky late-fall night where a lit lantern sits on a nightstand by a cracked open window, the tops of leaf-less trees and the crescent moon are visible outside. Second Frame: (Same camera angle) The candle has been extinguished by the wind from the crack in the window, a trail of wispy smoke curls above the lantern in the now dark room. Due to less light pollution, we can see more details outside the window, as a hulking, unnatural figure is revealed to loom outside in the mist, grinning with a tilted head and a smile full of sharp teeth revealed to be what we saw previously as the crescent moon.

My vote is for the creatonotos gangis, or Baphomet Moth: absolutely gorgeous but turns into an eldritch beast when its coremata are unfurled

Hey omg almost forgot to link my artfight! You can find me at artfight.net/~mehdialikha...

Here's a sneak peak of my newest character on the page: Anele, a magical girl who channels the Aspect of Fortitude based on the dino Ankylosaurus!

Attention Human artists!⚠️ Use only one piece to convince people to follow you!! 🤖🤍
Fed up and overworked red Gorilla-bot vandalizes a "Save the Bottom-Line" slogan withe green paint so that it instead says "SCREW the Bottom-Line". Gorilla-bot is from a series of satirical characters based on endangered animals who are brought back from extinction in the future as androids forced to perform menial and dangerous jobs. Seems one of them has had enough!

If a robot is having computer problems, do they call IT, or HR??🤔🤯

unpolished, but I can tell I'll be coming back to this idea, maybe even design the pilot 🫣

Back doing daily #robot sketches!🦾🤖

Or at least, it was supposed to be a just a sketch, but i got a little carried away with the story 😅 but hey, that's life!

A robotic bipedal lizard clutches a large green glowing crystal with something frozen inside, glancing backwards as it moves away from the viewer. The scene is bathed in red from some kind of intense spotlight from the direction the lizard is coming from.

Heyo!

I’m Mehdi Ali Khan, a concept and story artist who creates epic storyboards and illustrations for those looking to bring their own thrilling tales to life.

I especially love drawing robots and all the incredible stories they can tell! 🦾🤖

An android manatee hovers around the rubble of a war zone, bathed in the light from a burning yellow sky, as it curiously inspects a lone poppy growing amongst the destruction. The robot's body resembles a naval mine and is adorned with the warning symbol for ionizing radiation, as well as a built in electronic display that reads "ARMED". On a rocky alien planet, the silhouette of an explorer crests a mound of rocks to see a mysterious repeated rock formation, under one of which hangs a massive 4 legged insect that otherwise resembles a spider, which is currently engaged in harvesting 3 glowing purple fruits from under the rock's shade. A black and white still from a storyboard about robots in the wild west. A slender bot looks over its shoulder where the silhouette of a wide brutish robot is visible through the hole it smashed in the wall. A character design page for "La Aguja", a bandit knife-wielding character from an animatic about robots in the wild west, called "Bullies in a China Shop". The page features one large color illustration and 4 black and white gesture sketches, as well as a color prop detail of the character's throwing knives.

Here's that Earth-themed light attack vehicle, a bit smaller than the other two in the series but it can still dish out some major damage!
Usually when we think of "earth" as an element, it suggests feelings of being immovable and slow, so it was a fun challenge to try and turn that on its head!

I'm going to be starting a daily series of quick #robot and #mech sketches!
I'll be revisiting the ones I really like!

First off are these two with basic elemental inspirations of "fire" and "ice" in a short series consisting of only speedy combat vehicles (I'm excited for "earth" tomorrow)
