"Nice"

date: November 4, 2009

Very nice allthough i do find that the robot looks a little to big in comparison to the tree. Nice detail and lighting though.

"Love it"

date: October 24, 2009

Love how Modest Mouse seemed to have inspired this, I use music to inspire me a lot!

The robot is so fun looking and the clash of it's inorganic nature and the green and wholesomeness of the landscape is good.

"You painted this digitally?"

date: September 5, 2009

I would love to see a tutorial by you on how you did this so masterfully!

By the way....have you ever seen Robot Carnival....this robot looks like it could have been from there.

September 5, 2009

Author's Response:

Actually not a tutorial, but heres a speedpaint i did a while ago. Not the best thing i've done but it might be something.

"The golden ratio"

date: August 14, 2009

You've misused the golden ratio, as well as basic foreshortening. To top that, a robot on a swing? That's just terribly uncreative and an insult to art. If you want real talent, check out my work. A few decades of art school could help you.

Perfect shading, beautiful illustration. You can really tell the tale of this robot's life by just looking at him...

"Nice"

by: Occsam
date: July 15, 2009

This is the first 10 I've seen on the art portal. A lot of pretty submissions, but, people, subject as important as beauty in still art. A lonely looking robot on a tree swing is much more interesting to me than the prettiest, most realistic illustration of a sunset.

Keep up the good work.

Absolutely beautiful. Karl, you're an idol and you got me back into digital painting. Your textures and palette are genius, the lighting and composition is quality.

Never stop that thing you do!

"Beautiful"

date: July 8, 2009

everything is so well composed in this, it's incredible.
the shadowing, etc, has been used perfectly, and when I look at this picture, I can sense loneliness.
so that's what I hope you were going for.
