The LOST IN SPACE Robot

Prismacolor on Canson colored art paper. Okay, when i was about five years old, the TV show LOST IN SPACE premiered on CBS. I loved the show, outerspace, spaceships, alien life etc. Of course, by today's standards, the show is considered really bad and campy and stupid, and boring, and every other negative description I can imagine. BUT in 1965, there was nothing else to compare it to. Now before you teens and 20 somethings try to throw Classic STAR TREK in my face, let me remind you that it did NOT premier until 1966. So for one TV season, LIS was the ONLY serious SF show set in outer space on TV. Filmed in moody black and white, season one had a unique look that still impresses me almost 50 years later.
Anyway, while the cheesy aliens that cropped up on the show from time to time scared me plenty...but what REALLY scared me was the ROBOT! During the first few episodes of the first season, the robot was an out and out villain! With his flailing sickle-like claws, flashing lights, and deep monotonous voice, I had more than one nightmare about it! But I eagerly tuned in the following week just the same! In one episode, the robot threatens young Will Robinson in the dead of night on the creepy desert planet they have crash landed upon. The image of the slowly advancing robot, in the dark of night, defined almost solely by his own blinking lights, has never left me. That was the stuff of bed wetting!
So, this drawing is my recollection of my THEN five year old mind's interpretation of the robot. He was tall, threatening, and the grouping of lights on his chest were, for me, his FACE! A terrifying winking blinking leering face of a robotic monster! So I drew him just like that, and BOY was it fun!
