A wonderful illustration; love the subtle color; the tiny faint details in the background; excellent pen and ink

You are so skilled at drawing. I really like your loose crosshatch technique too.

I love the colours and the style, it is very old school. I love his pensive look.

Cool! Nice drawing and technique.

Doug said...

I like your subtle color palette... I can't seem to get myself to do that. great illo!

Amy Zaleski said...

I figured you would have an excellent "robot" contribution and I wasn't disappointed. Excellent color pallete and as usual, your linework is fantastic.

Kactiguy said...

Great bot. I like the limited colors. I think my life would be much more simple if I would follow your example.

carla said...

I love theis old school laboratory and creation look you have here! The scenario is amusing, and the the limited palette creates the feeling of a dungeon where unspeakable scientific experiements occur...very Dr. Frankenstein! I'm glad you were able to finish this for this week's topic - it works perfectly!

Dominic Bugatto said...

Always fun to stop by and see what you're up too. Superb work as always!

Julie Olson said...

I love your line. I'm really into line and keep wishing I could use it more effectively and more expressively. I love the hatching. And just as much, I love your use of limited color.

the doodlers said...

Excellent! Looks like it 'sproinged' to mind fully formed! My favourite of your recent posts!!

I love the light on the mad scientist's face and the cockeyed angle of the poor robot. The hatching in the darks is beautiful. ~ Arna

thanks for the comments everyone

Wow, yeah. I love robots and I love this drawing. It reminds me of the art from Jacob Two-Two meets the Hooded Fang...the original book, not the new Nelvana cartoon.

Hooray for Robots!

Diandra Mae said...

This is great! The shading and simple color palette is so well done. I love the expression on the scientist's face.

Fulton Beal said...

With menace he cried
"My God! Its alive!"
Light flashed to a thunderous sound
My wondrous creation
Robotic sensation!
Rise forth for theres village to pound



I left a comment over at the board, but thought I'd post the prose over here too. Love the mad scientists lab, expecially the old school computer.
