Description English:
The N4R-C150 robot, better known as Narciso (Narcissus), was a discontinued model of Myth Inc. robotics company, sited in Greece.
It was a very useful model, but a failure in their processor made that whenever the robot saw his reflected image on some surface, he started to act like a complete idiot.

I had this sketch of a robot and didn't know what to do with it... Finally I decided to paint an image based on Caravaggio's 'Narcissus'.
If you like it, let me know.
Cova.

Español:
El robot N4R-C150, más conocido como Narciso, fue un modelo discontinuado de la compañía de robótica Myth Inc., con sede en Grecia.
Era un modelo muy útil, pero una falla en su procesador hacía que cuando el robot se veía reflejado en alguna superficie, éste comenzaba a comportarse como un idiota.

Tenía este boceto de un robot y no tenía idea de qué hacer con eso... Al final decidí hacer una imagen basada en el 'Narciso' de Caravaggio.
Si te gustó, hacémelo saber.

I love this!! The colors are wonderful, the textures and details are very realistic, and there is a lot of emotion behind the robot...when I first saw this I thought it seemed almost sad, wistful and longing. Very nice!!

You know Cova, this might seem really silly to you but this drawing brought tears to my eyes. At first glance I thought, 'how absolutely sweet and whimsical'. But then in the lines, the reflection in the water, I became aware of the fact that you had somehow created a sense of reverence within the reflection. A reaching out of tenderness in love, alas, self love.

Some people draw, and they draw well. Then other artists create. They have the ability to capture the heart and soul, the spirit even and to capture our hearts and minds and see what the creator sees.
You are such an artist. Thank you for the vision...

Not silly at all...
This is probably one (if not the best) comment I've ever received about my work.
I'm deeply thankful and happy for such words.
I wish you the best and I hope you enjoy the works to come.
