I really enjoy the foreground, and the simple background; makes the piece kinda "pop". The lighting gives it a somber yet hopeful look, while the robot clearly looks disheartened. The raw emotional conflict involved in the simple piece is quite surprising, and of course there's the affinity for Machines with minds, souls, etc.. While I do really enjoy the piece, I feel that the anatomy of the robot could be a little less top heavy as to make a more streamlined look, and that's only my personal opinion, of course go with what you like. I hope you keep Deviating(No pun intended at all) from your norms, it's always nice to see an artist outside his or her normal "Comfort Zone". Keep up the good work and let me know how you feel about my critique!

I loved it!
I care about the:
The shading
Creativity
use of color
design
I feel they knocked it out of the park. You got to hang your balls out in the wind and be different from everybody else. NICE PIECE

This image i found browsing and it is just so capitavting made me think of the following poem when i reflected on it. I really do like this piece.
The Robot
by Michael Mack
Upon the stairway of despair,
Complete with broken love affairs
And promises that never came,
But faded with a touch of shame,
A pretty girl with golden hair
And innocence so sadly rare,
Strove to keep her head above
A way of life devoid of love.
Feeling pinned against Life's wall,
She chanced upon a robot tall
And said, "Please come and share with me
Whatever Fate has deemed to be.
I'm through with love, done with chances
Spirit crushed by past romances,
Just be a friend in word and deed.
That's all that I shall ever need."
"There's not too much from me to learn,"
Remarked the robot, in return.
"Emotions do not form a part
of my cold, solid-steel heart.
Whatever maker fashioned me
Did not permit my circuitry
Responsiveness to love or pain -
You're thoughts for me would be in vain."
"No matter", spoke the maid. "No more
Do I wish passion to explore.
Be someone I can come home to
When my exhausting day is through.
Count yourself a well-worn shoe -
A friend that I can slip into . . .
Protection from a stone cold floor . . .
For this I ask and nothing more."
Agreement made, he took her hand
And lived the life that she had planned,
Always willing, not demanding,
Aiding her with understanding
He made her smile with humorous wit
(As his restrictions would permit)
And, bit by bit, she came to feel
That he was more than iron and steel.
"I love you, robot", she at last
Replied when several months had passed.
"You're strength and quiet dignity
Have brought a wondrous change in me.
No more do I feel all alone,
And pray you must be flesh and bone.
Deep-set emotions you MUST feel
Within that outer coat of steel!"
"If I were able, I would say
I'm sorry I was made this way
But my design and programmation
Does not provide for that creation
Of feelings normal men may feel
That were not born of iron and steel.
I told you all this once before.
You have no right expecting more."
"Go, then!" cried she. "I will not live
Beside a fiend who cannot give!
Though I be battered by misuse,
Misguided trust and strong abuse,
At least the men I chose were real
And had the power to love and feel.
Of all the lovers I recall,
You are the cruelest one of all!"
The robot, indestructible,
Continues freely and at will.
Emotionless, apparently,
But, bearing closer scrutiny,
One can see a small tear streak
Down that cold, metallic cheek
As I reflect upon my life . . .
That lovely lady was my wife.
The robot, of course, was me.

Is he sad because there is no one around? Is he sad he possibly killed another of his kind? Who knows?

The piece itself is very striking. I have always enjoyed the minimalist approuch as far as color goes. The background mist really makes the robot pop. And its intresting how cheery the face is in contrast to the image and how well they work together. Good Job.

Success! He is real! I don't want to buy a print.. .I want to take him home with me, please?

I want one! I'll take him!
He won't be sad when he is firing shoulder-mounted missile barrages at my enemies...

This is an awesome robot.
What is he programmed to do, exactly? Just wondering.

Lovely. I dig the childlike simplicity of the "face" on the screen, really makes it for me.

Beautiful work. I think I like your use of negative space and sillohette as objects move away from the light best. Gives a real sense of space, and how he occupies it.

It's kinda cute.
Am I the only one that thought the title was a reference to Sad Frog?

The massive upper body suggest that it's part of a pair that would fill in for its weaknesses. A robot with so much going on would logically be paired with something a great deal more mobile. It seems to me that this robot is missing its partner; the part of itself that made it easier to get around. I can see why it'd be so broken hearted. Without a reliable way to get around the world is that much bigger and so much lonelier.

I love how the cracked glass could be interpreted as a tear. The painting itself is really cool and original. Nice work!

Would you believe it ? The Russian scientists wanted to take a collie, cut its head off and stick it on a life support system, and installed it on a robot body similar to this one. (I've seen diagrams of such technology and a photo of the robot body they wanted to use !)
As if they had the technology then, as if we have the technology NOW!, to keep an animal's head alive and functioning on a robot body ! They never did. WE have an ethical and humanitarian code that bars such experimentation.
