Description
Whew! This was a marathon drawing. I started it last night around 7pm and finished it this afternoon with no breaks for sleep, only for food or when my hand started to cramp up.The crazy thing is the whole time I was drawing it I was never tired, just determined to finish it all at once and see how long that would take. Good times.
11" x 14" ink on paper.

Man, you are crackers! That's an insane amount of detail, but the piece doesn't look confused - the eye doesn't get overwhelmed, but hungrily devours every little thing. I love it.

Ha, I don't think I've even been called crackers before, but I think I like it. Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it.

I am slightly afraid of you, because you are clearly a robot. But wow. I mean really wow.

Considering my love of robots, I consider this high praise. Thanks!
But don't worry even if I was a robot I'd be one of the good ones.

Well, yes, I suppose, but the good robots are just how it starts. I guess I'm not afraid of you so much as the fact that there are robots capable of art. That's pretty advanced AI.
The uprising can not be far away.

'Tis cute. Just staring like that.
Makes me think of a rubber duck.
But made of wood.
So a wooden duck.
Which makes me think of Monty Python. *train of thought rumbles down the tracks*

Awesome. I've never seen a driftwood duck before.
And I bet it's honoured to be in your drawing.

Nice. It's actually based on this really cool sculpture I have of a duck carved from some river driftwood. I'll have to post a pic someday. I didn't think it'd mind being slipped into one of my drawings.

Thanks. It probably took as long as some other drawings I've done. I've just never gone from start to finish all in one sitting before!

Yeah it got a little tough midway but once I got halfway through the progress I'd made fueled me to keep on keeping on.

Thanks. Detail is what makes the world go 'round.

It does! And it shows that you really cared enough to not say "ah these wierd pipe looking things don't need lines on them" or "This little fireplace looking thing in the bottom right doesn't need to be crosshatched".
Really cool!

Yeah, I don't know how often I can go around drawing instead of sleeping though, as the rush has worn off now. But it was a fun little adventure.
