Description
I drew this little robot on the back of a post card a while ago and thought he looked so cool that i had to do something with him. I cut him out and sat him on my desk. As I pursued various other projects, he watched over...waiting for his time to shine lol...this was about 3 months ago.This was finished in a bit of a rush (I was using it for an interview I had the next day to get into uni). I started without a concept, I just wanted the robot to be accompanied by more things that had been cut out. Once the squares came and I started playing around with their placement, the idea of what it would all say simply cultivated itself. It was about being imaginative and original - a tornado of ideas and imagination coming out of his head, in contrast to the plain, orderly squares he resided in or was expected to adhere to (as a robot of course).
Hope you like it

That's amazing! Eternal thanks to =xqz-moi and ^snowmask. May your present and future cheeses sing praise of your existence, and may any hat-related decisions be non-regrettable.

I love it when randomness all comes together successfully!
The black and white is cool, but if you ever consider coloring it, Prismacolor pencils will do just the trick.

How could anyone not like the 'bot? He has so much wonderful imagination exploding from his metallic head! Those squares are totally bringing him down!
It's a metaphor for the world we live in, I'm afraid.
Damn squares!

I just realised that I wrote "ecolce" while, while it should be, isn yet a word. "Evolve" was the one

lol
I realized that too and at first I didn't know what you were saying. Then I remembered that the v and c are really close together on the keyboard and I flip them constantly! Those evil v's and c's
I am certainly going to try and start something like this during winter break. Maybe not this advanced but I am wanting to get in this a bit more. Actually, I seem to be wanting to get into a lot of things right about now. I need about 5 lifetimes to finish all I want to do

Do you mean a black and white piece specifically? or an "ambitious" piece?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know... That is a good question! I am thinking about bringing back my fuzzle ([link] ) in a christmas piece in which case I think I would use red, green and white.

Sweet! Sounds like a cool idea. I never finish on time to do themed pieces unless I start waaay in advance haha.

yeah, I still have 2 more halloween pictures to upload here. They are finished now but one is at school and it may not be uploaded until December.
I will hopefully finish my christmas picture because I get a lot of time off during the holidays!
