WALL-E and EVE Android Collage

FIND A CUTER MOVIE. I DARE YOU.

Following commentary isn't TOO spoilerish; I tried to keep spoilers to a very slight minimum. The most spoilerish thing is the last image in the pic anyways.
I also started with this pic in my scraps section, but I like it too much to bury it there.

OK, so I've been waiting for this movie since, when...Ratatouille? Actually, maybe even before that, when I read the synopsis on IMDB around the time Finding Nemo had been out for a few months. I've always been a huge Pixar fan, ever since the first movie Toy Story. This promised to be great, so I've been waiting impatiently for June 27th.
So I go see it opening night. And the night after. And I plan on seeing it at LEAST enough to rival my four viewings of Prince Caspian this year (EDIT: and I have now, and it's only been out a week. FOUR VIEWINGS, IN SEVEN DAYS. I am officially obsessed), if not the dozen viewings I did of the first LOTR movie. Seriously, that's how much this movie rocks. I think it ties The Incredibles for my favorite Pixar film, and the only reason it didn't pass it was because its just that hard to beat a plot about a family of superheros.
But man, this movie was good. And so cute to boot. As much as I love R2-D2 of Star Wars fame, he was outdone by not one, but at least TWO bots in this film (WALL-E of course, and EVE). The only reasons M-O and AUTO didn't top R2 was because R2 is funny, cute, and cool, while M-O was a little less the third, and R2 could hack circles around AUTO (there's a bot showdown I'd PAY to see).
In any case, WALL-E and EVE are like, my new OTP. Which is odd, given how hard I find it to believably give artificially created robots emotions that have strict biological meaning, and how much romance tends to embarrass me in films if its the central plot. But these two are so cute; I can't help it.

About the art. Since I've been "humanforming" a lot of robots so far, I decided to take a crack at the main duo of this movie on the sketchbook that I carry around at work. Each of these drawings were like, two to five minutes, with about five to ten given on the middle one. I tinkered with designs as I went, and if I ever do a full out colored pic, I still need to tinker more. These are just sketches, after all.
BTW, even though I said that they were "humanformed", I still think of them as androids. Cyborgs, at the very least, as mechanical aspects is an important part of their characters.

About each pic, which are numbered according to what I drew first:

1. My first art, and only full-length one. I tried to make WALL-E's design a little clunky and old-fashioned in comparison to EVE's, but still with that cute charm that he has in the movie. His teardrop eyes have been reduced to goggles on his head. At some point, I want to draw him wearing those over his eyes; that'll make him look even more like his movie counterpart. EVE's hair is modeled after the sleek look of her robotic head, and I tried to keep her curved egg motif for the rest of the outfit as well.

2. EVE's getting mad at WALL-E, the scene of which would probably be familiar if you've seen the movie (I'm trying to keep this spoiler-free). That whole scene made me laugh.

3. At first, EVE kinda just tolerated that weirdo who kept stalking her. She actually liked the Rubic's cube, but this drawing was a bust sketch, and there was little I could put in WALL-E's hand that could fit in the space I had. I was tempted to put the spork in though; that was one of the funniest parts of the movie. XD
I also started experimenting with glasses for WALL-E at this point, just to further emphasize his geeky appearance. That, and I love glasses.

4. WALL-E loves "Hello Dolly", and I found that hilarious. His dance routine was so hilarious. EVE gains an appreciation for the film as well. She's enjoying his antics here.
I decided with this art that while I liked the glasses-goggles combo look for WALL-E, huge round glasses didn't quite fit. He looks a little TOO ridiculous.

5. EVE's so trigger-happy, and it's amusing to watch. When she was blowing up the ship in frustraition, my friend who was watching the movie with me leaned over and wispered "This is how we know she's a girl." So true, lol. ^_^
Arm's at a funny angle, because I botched the depth perception on her plasma gun. Oops.

6. If you've seen the movie, you know what this expression on WALL-E means. 'Nuff said.
Tried a different glasses shape, it works better. May or may not keep glasses though; what do you think?

7. More trigger-happy EVE, with WALL-E trying to hold her back. Dang, she shoots at everything...even outguns security bots. This is supposed to be a PROBE droid? What were they expecting on Earth, giant man-eating fungus??

8. OK, somewhat spoilerish, but not really when you think about it. I went into that movie with the sinking knowlege that EVERY TIME a movie or TV series has a robot as a main character, he/she gets damaged SOMEhow throughout the course of the show. I just...wasn't expecting that little problem at the end...
Shutting up now.

WALL-E is trademarked/copyrighted to Pixar. ALL HAIL PIXAR!!! OK, and Disney has a hand somewhere in there too...


BTW, if you're wondering where my 50,000 pageview pic is, I'm still working on it, as life has been keeping me from my art a lot recently. That, and this pic has 24 characters and COUNTING, so...yeah. I'm that nuts.
