Artist's Comments

This was the cover art for a Swedish magazine, "Signaler från Sverok" (more info here), featuring the probably most gay robot ever in existence. I wonder if he's just trying to pick which robot he's going to take to the Pride festival along with Skeletor, of He-Man fame. The one with the largest guns, or the one with the hands? Hmm... is this a season for green, or for red? I wonder, wonder...

This was finished in early January, after much toil and trouble, in Photoshop CS3.

I don't know what to say, I never figured I'd be out of ideas when writing this. Seriously. I guess I might update with a better description sooner or later, but for now, I'll let this picture speak for itself.

This is just pure awesome.

When it comes to smoothness, shading, details and well... everything really.
You did a really great job on this one and it's so pretty!
I love it ^_^

I like all the wires :D

He looks pretty gay with his purple robes, his oiled-in killer abs and his gentlemen standing around. Sort of like Skeletor, I figure.

Or it's purely overworked, it's pretty darn difficult to decide which.

Thank you!

Om nom nom nom robots. Om nom nom nom GAY robots!

I really like this one - and it looked awesome as a cover! I can't really decide which is my favourite part: the robot overload himself maybe? His head's shaded so prettily (I keep returning to the outer corners of his eyes - AND I like his teeth), his neck and abs are gorgeous (if a real guy had abs like that I'd be scared shitless, but it looks real nice on robots and ancient romans, especually when this nicely shaded) and his HAND ... I love his hand. His belt buckle, also - win.

But I like the rest of the robots too. I like the variety and the differences - the shapes and colours, all them gorgeous wires, the gun-hands (I like the beige ones the best, and its shoulder is win too) the "fleshy" parts of the one to the left, the colouring and shading and lightning and... etc! All of it! And I like the background too: it's relatively simple, yet very efficient.

...I guess it's really rather easy to sum this up: I love it all. You did an incredible job. :heart:

This comes to mind when speaking of gay robots.

I thought of doing something serious for the belt buckle, but alas, it was one of the last things I did and "couldn't be arsed" had quite a lot to do with it by then. I'm glad you like the skull :XD: And the rest, of course! and nawh, Colonel Mustard will be so happy to hear that! :heart: I'll be sure to further it on.

Thank you :happycry: Somehow, putting this up on dA (finally) and SHOWING THE WORLD feels rather cathartic - not because I've finally PROVEN MY WORTH or something (ummm cuz I didn't yeah), but because I've finally gotten the bloody secret off my bloody chest :XD: Not that it was MUCH of a secret... but yeah. You know what I mean.

Dne är så förbannat snygg. Min favortidel är de blanda metalliska delarna på de mindra robortorna. Perfekta
:iconskedy:
So Skeletor is gay too?
