Description
Yet another one of my drawings I've been trying to finish for over the past month and now getting done.Ya....I don't know. I felt like nuts and bolts...and gears. Lots of gears. Clockworks is his name.
Let's just say it's from a creepy dream I had.
HB pencil, 4HB and pencil crayons for colors.

The mechanical aspects of this piece is quite interesting, something unique and different. The shading and overall placement makes it seem realistic and a tad ironic. Definitely worth a favorite.

thanks for the comment. I enjoyed drawing this out. It's a bit on the creepy side to tell you the truth...but I like creepy things.
I like it because it plays on the idea that humans are machines, and we try to give machines (robots if you will) human qualities. Clockworks just looks a bit like a human, but still a machine.

True, it's a bit creepy, but I did get some of the same ideas as you did about its significance except that I was thinking further into the "clockworks of the human body, and each part fueling the other". I suppose that it can have multiple meanings from different perspectives, but the theme is still the same.

Thank you kindly. I quite enjoyed coming up with this guy. I dreamed him up one morning and was actually inspired to draw.
Ah, inspiration....I need you to come visit more often.

Wow...it makes me think of a story I read not long ago...all the gears, and bolts...I love the pose, and especially the shadow/other leg!

Thank you very much. I had a dream about this guy and was fortunate enough to remember to draw him out. It was a creepy dream to be sure.

Ooh, I wish I had dreams about interesting people...

yes...it is fun.
until they start killing you and strangling you with their tendril-like fingers....and those gears just turning and turning...uuughghhngghhh

Hmm...
"...the slow, crisp, click of polished brass gears, the sensual hiss of pneumatic release, the insidious sibilance and decisive thud of a withdrawing and thrusting piston..."
Yep, that's what it reminds me of. That passage from m' book! Damn them turning gears...

Wow that sounds really amazing! I pictured it perfectly in my head.
You write books? I'm trying to write my own as well... slowly...but getting there. I have all the storylines and characters, just haven't really put them down on paper.

Oh, that passage wasn't from a story of mine, sorry for the confusion. It's actually from my favourite book, The Muzic of Razors - but the reason I like the book so much is because it's exactly like the kind of story I'd write.
But I do write...sometimes...like you, I have the characters and their histories, just need to flesh the story out a little...

Thank you kindly. I have more of a demented sort of imagination, but it works.

Hmmm... can't say I envy you that dream. Stuff like this would totally creep me out in a dream. Creepiness aside, though, this is awesome. For some reason, I keep thinking it would look great on a card...

Thank you very much! I missed talking with you. You've been away for some time now....

Tch, I don't spoil you, I give you wot y'deserve.
I like this, the neutral colours are lovely.
AAAAnd I have a question. Are pencil crayons easy to use? What are they, anyway? They look like fun....

Pencil crayons are very easy to use. I enjoy them very much!! Um... they are like regular pencils, but with an explosion of different colors. Hence why they are called pencil crayons. Some can be more pastel-like, more watercolor type, more sketchy type. it depends on what type you buy!

I'll have to see where I can get some, or at least try them. They give the pictures a nice texture, from what I've seen of your works.
Thanks!

Freaky! I came across this in someone else's favorites list and it just caught my eye. It's so delightfully esoteric!

Beautiful, its the kind of thing that I love, I have an addiction to gears and clockwork. The execution is excellent as is the composition. But P.C art ain't easy and fast, its just another tool to add to your skill set. Anyway, great work, its good to see some originality put into organic robots, they all look like ipods to me!

You need to get a DD for this. The concept behind it is amazing and I love how all the random parts come together, not to mention the detail that you put into this. Well done.
