Description Finally, a decent environment piece. That's a first for me. Might end up somewhere in the graphic novel project, though I don't know how I'd be able to explain the brain creature in the tank.

A little over an hour.

Crap... CRAAAPPP i lost a big paragraph with some important story elements ill try to remember it here... uhm..

okay, so i was talking about how there are probably 5 main character's
and i had in mind the protagonist to be this guy here:
[link]

A random one guy, for a bouncer at a robot bar, probably sells oil whiskey: here: [link]

Ah the other point was that some of the story points can come out a little silly sounding and i was complementing you on your realistic and stylish way of making art, which would kind of even things out. so if you had something kind of funny like an uncle robot wit ha metal mustache, he would be far more believable because the story telling would be darker, even if there are some lighthearted things like that in there.

I may have mentioned some more about the brain's intentions too i think. Ah. the plot twists.
The robots discover a cerebral cortex control chip that every robot has for communication purposes, but the brain uses it control them and this is how the lith were killed while the brain thought the lith were inferior. i also mentioned the brain thinking it was God, and it was the creator of all things possibly as a concept.
The name of the brain i cant find off the top of my head right now.
Also, more plot twists were the brain begins to use the eyes and ears of other robots to observe and learn more about the rogue machines that are the heroes of the story. in its whole, this story is a big sweeping wonderful and fantastical adventure where there go from junkyards to huge mechanical casms, and giant cities and als dry desert mountains, where they find the remaining lith.

Let's see.. what else...

okay, so, Obviously were so totally opening the spoilers to everyone, But the brain thing is 1 of two artificial life forms that were created, this one... didnt turn out to well seeing as it some how technologically took control of the robots and maybe... exterminated the lizard people? so few lizard men remained and centuries go by. the old lith ruins still remain. and the robots go about there crazy trashy junk yardy cities living their lives.

Im going to guess there should be this huge city, like the planet's main city and what happens is the life form has constructed some kind of chamber in the center of this complex linking weaving world of tunnels and pipes... and it has lived for a centuries now, and the more knowledge it obtains, the more dangerous it becomes. this story...is...awesome..

There they are, the lizard men creating the first artificial life form. BEHOLD!!!! lol. Graphic novel project. there there.. YES perfect.. im going insane about how awesome it will be. the monster created by the highly advanced lizard men called the lith.

main robot characters, they have emotions, kill off characters, you make the readers cry because holy crap you cruel jerk you killed of a beloved robot character.

This is actually reminding me of some really classic scifi and stuff the more i think about the plot im thinking of.

withdrawing every thought the creature has. its intelligence is on a higher plain than theirs, or something.

Shpeedpaints are fast. You just rough in the basic stuff and refine it enough so that it looks nice. I used a few special brushes but it's mostly just slapping colors around and seeing what looks good.

I love this one, it looks like a comic book.. I'd like to know what is going on there, I am very curious.

Balance-Sheet In reply to BlackWeisse [2009-09-03 04:28:56 +0000 UTC]

I really don't know. XD Some kind of silent conversation going on between the brain and the guy at the controls. I don't put much thought into the stuff I paint, which probably isn't a good thing.

It looks great this way and no text or adding stuff will be usefull from my point of view. It speaks by itself and this is why this drawing is so interesting, there is room for imagination and I love this style.

very nice reminds me of heavenfield in a way,and maybe you could explain that because the human brain is faster then a pc ,they found a way to make it live outside of the human body and use it as a terminal to acces data ?
Cause it kinda looks like one with tubes attached to it and the electrical sparks could be explained as the brains nerves system.

Actually the brain thing was somewhat inspired by a similar creature in Mignola's work, the red lines being ectoplasm or something. They've figured out how to contain some extradimensional entity and don't know quite what to do with it. At least that's my take on things, I don't really know what they're doing.

But your idea is very similar to part of my graphic novel project.
