Description
"I found you broken and rusted. I found you shattered.All but your heart, machine, which lurches beneath those plates. Such a defiant thing despite its years.
Copper flesh and bones of steel. Tendon and muscle and nerve and blood. Hydraulics and wires, oil and sparks.
I gave you eyes to see like mine. Legs to wander. A mind to know. Hands to grasp, to reach out open, to clench into fists.
I made you once before. This death is your revision. I will undo the flaws of your crippled corpse and leave you whole again."
The Maker was obsessed. It was his drive to understand. It wasn't enough to observe, and so he created his witness. Eyes and ears, feet and hands. Something that lived like he lived, functioned as he functioned, that could experience the world as he labored endlessly.
Something to exist in his stead, but in the way that things live, things also die, no matter how well-crafted they are.
The rusted creation was worn, and now broken, but its creator still stood. Far from content with its present state, he took up the gauntlet and set in to breathe life back into his wandering vessel.

I don't want to color it to be honest. I think the value is strong on its own.

Yeah I wouldn't fault it for remaining neutral. Already a ton of information to process without color. Not too mention the grayscale actually kind of reinforces the mechanical kind of theme.
We need to find a way to get your work more attention. You have leveled up to the point where a lot of people should be seeing this!

If only I could somehow make this and all my paintings come out of tree stumps...
I agree, though. It'd be nice.

duuuuuuuuude...
Your lighting skills have officially hit super sayian levels.
The fore, middle, and background are pretty pro. A lot of depth. I like the black in the far background. Give the piece a nice sense of mystery.
Rendering and details are top notch!
Like the writing piece as well. Though the piece could stand just as well without it
Composistion is the only thing I'd say is a little wonky.
What color scheme you thinking?
