Description Here's another piece I did for the faaaaabulous White Cloud Worlds Vol2. [link]
Although it doesn't really look like it I spent an arseload of time on this painting, probably more than any other one I can think of. It illustrates the moment an advanced prototype robot first disconnects from its diagnostic systems, briefly achieves sentience and then permanently seizes up. It seems that gaining access to lab records and learning the history of discarded prototypes, wasteful development processes and the stresses caused by crushing deadlines caused the guilt sectors of the emotion circuits to collapse and result in catastrophic failures across the entire OS.

Really like the symbolism of the different arms at different levels of design sophistication.

Ha! Close! It was supposed to resemble Ralph Baer, I did it shortly before he passed.
