I feel as though I need to make a disclaimer for this : I do not own the rights to Robin Williams' likeness or the rights to any of the photos I used as reference/stock in this illustration. They belong to their respective owners.

As for my Robin Williams piece, I made it in adobe photoshop cs3 using my wacom
bamboo create in roughly 7 hours using techniques I commonly use for video game
concept art.  The difference between what I normally make digitally and this -
is emotion.  I knew immediately when I heard what had happened, that I had lost
one of my childhood heroes and felt that emptiness that accompanies all loss. 
My grandmother didn't own very many vhs tapes when I was little, and we would
watch Robin's films over and over.  I loved Mrs. Doubtfire, Flubber, and
Jumanji the most.  That was the initial feelings and memories that I had right
before I decided to make something.  Lately I've been creating fan art for
various tv shows and videogames that I really enjoy in my free time.  I wanted
the art itself to reflect how I perceived Robin's depression.  The middle
portrait is meant to be him most recently, very realistic and much more somber
than the others.  More real.  The characters he played are more painterly and
the color is fading away, symbolizing their position in the past.  His eyes
offer a peak into his sadness, looking back.  Even many of his characters were
troubled.  I made this art primarily to honor and remember him.

Very nice portrait. His art and comedy will be missed. I hope we will be better able to treat those with depression in the future that their lives will be worth living.

Even though I'm sensitive and emotional, I do not usually experience much of an emotional response when someone "famous" departs this realm.  Yet, I just kept crying in bouts throughout the day when I heard the news.  I didn't know much about his private life but somehow felt he was a great man and a sensitive Soul.

This is such a beautiful tribute!  Thank you!! May he find peace in the great beyond.

I've been wanting to get some sort of tattoo in honor of my childhood hero and couldn't find anything I really thought captured him and his characters. I LOVE this tho!!! Would it be alright if I got a tattoo of this?? It's just soooo beutiful and sad at the same time 😔

I think it would be awesome to see a tattoo of it.  I definitely have no problem with you getting it tattooed.  Just let me see when it's finished and if you could mention that I was the original designer whenever it's posted online that would be great
