Description I spent longer on this than I planned but I decided halfway through to do it slightly differently. There's much more painting in this one than usual so eventually the paint got too thick and dark to use a black marker. Then I thought, "what would Scott Morse do?" ...with an image like this he'd probably scrap it and start again but I decided to use white painted lines and I like how it came out. This is a nice development for me, I feel like I learned something. Anyway, enough bullshit.
There's a really basic stages thing in my scraps: [link]

Acrylic and gouache on some sort of plastic stuff.
Now do yourself a HUGE favour and go to Scott Morse's page: [link]

Favourite! The world needs more 1940's style robots all modded up with curious expressions.

...Great texture on the background, too. That scrapey bit next to his right shoulder (our left) is quite nice.

i like the wrinkly texture down by his "stomach" area. it brings out a more organic feel to the machine, giving it more personality.

You pulled this off briliantly White lines add this unearthly feel to the robot. Sort of saint-robot look. At least for me

Tordo [2006-01-29 01:31:45 +0000 UTC]

The white lines were a nice choice since they make him different, the other thing I like is the left rusted arm, it has more personality with it that if its whole metal skin where completely even. Plus his confuse expression and the star complete him as an interesting character.

The contrast with the background it good too.

Nice work.

It's just plain amazing.
I love the design of the robot. Not only 'cause robots are cool, but also 'cause you gave it character. The difference of the eyes, along with the angle of the face gives almost a little questioning, 'I don't know what you're talking about' expression. You must really be good to pull something like that of without even using a mouth, a nose or eyebrows, which in fact are what we use to make facial expressions.
You have given it a great perspective, I think
And all of that, combined with the colors I love from the Dread Pirate and the white outlines, makes this - in my eyes - a masterpiece.
I'm not sure I would say this is your best thing yet, but I'd definately say that it beats the rest of deviantart's deviations. By far. I love it how you keep proving that you're the best around. And I'm glad you keep updating the best gallery I have yet found.
'nuff with the praising now, you must think I'm a horny stalker ... but then again, I am.

Seriously though. Top-fucking-notch work.

And I just love this Scott Morse guy
And speaking of him, I'd say you're on the same level, only differing in that you're doing different kind of stuff.

I really hate to do this, but I must fav this. That's rude of you, y'know? it'll be my 57th one, and you're already the 56th...


hahaha I love it

Oh man I do love a nice verbal fellating ...I have this saved on my computer as quizzicalbot, I didn't think anybody else'd notice.
I'm glad you like my stuff that much, I don't feel anywhere near some of the people on DA and definately not on the same planet as Scott Morse. The way he uses colour, brushstrokes, composition, his simplification, his character designs ...christ, it's like porn for me. ...and he's the best short-story writer I can think of.
Thanks very very much, man ...you're the greatest
