Description Oh, man. I'm sorry about all the pencil art lately. :0
Sometimes I just get into a pencil-funk! (I think you can see some of those eras in my gallery in little spots. XD )

This little robot is for the contest at:

The challenge of this one was to draw one of your favorite Asimov 'bots. So, here's a Giskard I drew up at school.

I always pictured him as kind of a sad lookin' fellow. He is quite, quiet after all. Not to mention all the stuff he has to contend with.

Contest Outcome: Second Place.

This is just sooo great!!!

(I have to admit, I don't know why but I always used to imagine Giskard as some kind of R2D2, you totally changed my vision of him!)

I love pencil work personally, it's got a lot of character. i love the little added color here, it goes well with the shading. This Robot has a lot of personality, I love you work here.

You have peaked my interest into this Asimov, I've heard of his books but never got around to reading any of them. Its about time I do eh?

Mine, too.
I've been needing to draw Daneel again. I like the old design I have for him, but I could draw him so much better now. Haha.

I was surprised when he turned up in the Foundation novels. I'll have to dig through your gallery to see your Daneel

Don't apologize for the pencil-work; I love it! The way you do shading in so many different ways is phenomenal. And I love how you added the red pencil.

I really like all the detail you put into this, awesome job. ^^
