Description Entry for `s contest - Emotion

I have awesome title for it don`t I? 8D;;

When I heard about the contest I thought the easiest thing to do is draw something pretty and sad. Because an emotion is mostly noticed when it contrast the object that expresses it. (ex. Sad beautiful girl, smiling ugly freak etc.) but then again that was too easy and too simple. Emotions are all around us right? You, me, your buddy next to you so I thought to try something much different. Something not pretty. Something that can`t be expressing emotions. Something not in pretty shinny colours. Considering I watched "I, Robot" some weeks ago this idea popped into my head.

So yes.. here is a robot who is not some fancy sexy mecha with giant guns nor looks like a human. It is something alone and forgotten in a lab without any questions on why it was left alone there. It stares at one living friend that grows right underneath it`s arms and admires how its friend grows, changes, blossoms and realizes the difference between a living and an artificial being. A sad truth that gave birth to a tear and the emotion and the line between the machine and the living being was crossed.

BUT ROBOTS CAN NOT CRY!

Hush! In my pic they can. > >; end of the story.

*cough*
So yes this is my explanation behind this pic.
Also I wanted to kill my hands drawing a robot because as you know that ain`t my strong point lol >_>;;; and the challenge was awesome.

Paint tool SAI
Photoshop CS2
Couple of days in between other things > >;

Thank you for viewing!

Maybe whoever built the robot put water ducts in the robots eyes (which, in reality, are just sensors/cameras), so when the robot calculates an emotion that demands crying, it releases water from the ducts so it looks like tears?

I absolutely love this picture!! I love how the dark colors surround that pink flower. Seems like that whenever there is something dark and tragic in the world, there will always be the flower that stands above everything. (:

well, the challenge was worth. It has so much feelings, make me think of humans sometime: 'cause we often hide behind a mask feeling nothing or hapiness, like sadness is a taboo thing. Maybe it has nothing to do with this pic for most people, but for me it has.

Thank you for the comment and apologies for replying to it so late ^_^;
Your words are quite true here but I think it is natural instinct maybe? People like to push sadness away and keep happiness as long as they can.

I want to say something interesting but I can't think of anything, so I'll just say that I really love this picture! The colours and mood and composition.. fantastic!
And for someone who isn't a robot-drawing expert, the robot looks really good! The wires coming out of it are a nice touch.

Going back and doing smaller comments since you prefer them. ^^

I am really so damn surprised at how well you pulled this off - very pleasantly surprised! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see robots from you and not only did you do that but its so ...freakin powerful of a picture. Love the contrasts - all of them light, life/mechanical/colors and so on.

your description of this piece, and the piece itself are very moving, and brought tears to my eyes. It's a great poetic piece full of emotion, and it inspires emotion in those who see it.
Wonderful, and robots can cry.
