I think you have such a suave way with your imagination, considering there is so much color, depth, feeling, and even nostalgia in your artwork. And to me, even for a cyborg/human figure who's facial appearance just doesn't fit into our real world, seems to think life is already pretty damn good, considering he only lived for 25 minutes. And by your description, I can see how what's left of him is slowly churning away, and yet, the experiment doesn't seem to be a failure at all (in this man's eyes, anyways). So, it was fun mumbling on a bit about your artistic forte; I just hope your pen remains an extension your body forever.
I've also noticed that this is a digital painting. And mind I ask, because I'm sure you use a wacom tablet, which tablet exactly do you use? I've always been curious to know that, because drawing on a computer must feel more.... comfortable. But either way, keep in mind; you now have one more fan who will die for your art any day (really).

Its always absolutely great to hear someone elses interpretation of smething I've done. I thank you for that.
As for the wacom, its an wacom intuos 3 - size a5, i think. Theres cheaper ones that does the trick aswell though.
really great!
I think this is an absolute marvel. Resembles a piece of German expressionist art, with some science fiction. I enjoy being able to read the emotion on that cyborg's face. Looks like it could be a page taken from a graphic novel.
Bravo!
Always nice to see new stuff from you Karl.
The colours you use in your work create such a nice mood, I can just stare at it forever. The description makes it so much better aswell, keep it up!
....it seems that in the future cyborgs are programmed to be emo. nice work.

I like that song.

The bands name is really Lemon Jelly, but otherwise you're right. :)
feels like the daimond is off center
looks cyberpunk, but inverted. a sad cyborg not an emotionless human. awesome :)
The description really adds to this pic. I love it.
I'm flattered to be featured on the frontpage with you. c:
Amazing piece!
Author's Response:
Thank you! Your piece is well worth the feature!
I like it and the texture is really nice.
But I'm confused about the lighting, there seems to be a small light on his nose, a lite one on his forehead and maybe an orange light on the wall behind?
Author's Response:
Thank you! Your observations of the lightsources are correct. I think I might have overused them in this one, and might have gotten a better effect if I'd focused more on the lighting.
Im glad you liked it!
I'm also an artist ..and this is very good. I love the lighting..Keep up the good work..and never give up.
glad to see some original art it looks awesome keep it up!
This is the most creative thing I have seen in a little while....cyborg, eh? It looks like it almost feels...or that it did.
The colors all compliment each other very nicely. Can't wait to see more!

Part human you know :)
Thank you!
Lovely work Karl, great stuff!
Best,

Man do I envy you. You've got such a sense of how to use colors, that it's insane.
I only wish someday I could use colors like you do. And it's even more impressive that you can make it look like you did this in a traditional medium.
Thumbs up!
Author's Response:
Thank you!
Just practise, and you'll learn how to work with colors, and anything else. Its all in the practising!
Amazing use of colour. Did you paint this digitally or with actual paints?
Author's Response:
Thank you!
This is completely digital
