Description Sketch Crap : Man vs Machine


Anyone notice I haven't really posted any line art so far this year?
Well it seems I just can't help myself.
I was going to take a break from posting any line art this year in order to build up work for a possible ashcan sketchbook... now I think I have enough for two.

I had also become a little tired of a few other things:
people stealing my artwork,
constantly seeing my Joker colored with the movie make-up
and really just thinking I needed a change of pace.

Well, that lasted for about 3 months..
Now I think I'm just going to share the little side projects, doodles , warm-ups and cool-downs I make before and after larger projects.
Basically the same thing I did when I started my "sketchy" thing before that became filled with commissions and whatever other sketches I came up with.

This sketch was inspired by Ruben Martinez .
I met Ruben at the San Diego Comic Con a few years back when the first volume of his book The Afterlife came out.
We chatted it up about the amazing work he put into the book and he ended up doing something very unexpected, he took out a folder and whipped out a piece of paper that had a very small yet incredibly detailed sketch on it that also appeared in the book and gave it to me as a gift, I in turn gave him a little watercolor sketch of Rorschach I had made.
To this day that sketch has inspired me art wise and when it comes to being as nice as I can to the people who seem to like my work.

well only posting warm ups, cool downs, getting whatever I can draw into the time allotted for breaks or lunch lol. the theft of artwork... well I've not had it happen to me, but I'd be pissed. I also like the linework- sometimes it's harder to step back and just put those out there w/ little shading (I get overly dark). Heck, I just want to make some for people to have fun with colouring.

I am far from the top of my game. I used to be better. Just... no time lol

You know, it is a good idea to not show all your masterpieces (finished works). Especially if you are going to sell them. Let me/us know when you are going to put an artbook together so I can buy it (it will be the first art book I have bought from anyone on here).

Was this one in that snapshot of your desk? I could swear I saw it there... but I may have lost my mind again, easy either way. Very cool, this, again a bit different from what we usually see out of you, but no less intriguing or visually inspiring.

Ugh, people slap that awful movie face on your Joker? That's just... annoying. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the US who DID NOT especially care for the Dark Knight Joker.

KidNotorious In reply to InAbsentia [2010-03-25 21:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Yep!
I had to go back to that picture to take a look.

I don't mind that version of The Joker, it's just that I don't think it fits the Joker that I draw.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

InAbsentia In reply to KidNotorious [2010-03-25 21:21:59 +0000 UTC]

Ha! Knew it.

It doesn't at all. Your Joker is much more classic, and I'm secretly (or not so secretly, really) biased that way, thanks to my early addiction to the animated series.

And I honestly think I wouldn't have such an itch about the new movie Joker if it weren't for everyone hailing it is the pinnacle of all things Joker simply because Heath Ledger died. Yes, it was good acting, yes, it was sad he died. However, that does not make his performance the end all be all of Joker-ness. It was a different and interesting perspective, but not the new bible.

Sorry about the ranting. I promise to put away the soapbox now.

Back to relevance: is there a story behind this picture? Was it a random imagination snapshot, or is there something more to it? Because I am already intrigued, and want to know what is happening, if the robot is a bad guy, if either of them is a bad guy, or maybe it' a misunderstanding.

Or maybe it's fanart of something I don't recognize!

Yes, intrigued.

This was actually drawn while watching the news one morning.
It's really tiny and I guess I woke up with robots on the brain, I also wanted to try out those ink splatters you see at the bottom there so that's how this came to be.
