After watching an episode of Battle Bots for the first time, I got inspired to create some fun fighting robot designs of my own! Since the robots on the show often had funny names, I decided to design robots based on pun names. For this one, I chose Dog Pound.

I sketched out a design for the robot, leaning heavily on the dog theme. I though of a dog walker with two wild dogs on a "leash" attached to his back. He'd shoot tennis balls at the opponent, prompting the dogs (named Chomps and Biscuit respectively) to attack. I gave him two ear-like points on his head as well.

I chose colors that would make both Dog Pound and the dogs stand out just enough from each other.

Then I did some simple shading and added a colorful background!

Here are some extra sketches I did.
