After this year, I may put a pause on them. Before I share my 2024 March of Robots work, I wanted to let you see what I have been working on since the last Inktober.</p><p>Let's start with a donated commission. For the second year, I was asked by a friend to donate a drawing for a silent auction. Because I am so busy, I don’t typically have time to do commissions, let alone, pro bono work. However, I’m a fan of what <a href="http://www.bestbuddies.org/texas/">Best Buddies (Texas chapter)</a> is doing and I’m happy to show my support — even if it’s just in the form of ink and paper.</p><p>Here’s an original drawing of a couple of Best Buddy ‘bots, leaning on each other for support. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk_Q97RCEd6zMjCLZfLPvmVOVEQ50SM8iDmw3WicdmjHS-KZcq_0lhODD_sGr0Zt9HycKp-OgOqV7fwnqqsrGS8WqpaBcd1-SLdxAZWABpifU5k7SYOZs5Q_s9JgdYSUU-zubjPRlmgHv_prGiYcJFuGPlzZs3YjfL_0gf6N5GbzUq_UhTgfJg13t2iyZz/s1175/Buddy_bots_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk_Q97RCEd6zMjCLZfLPvmVOVEQ50SM8iDmw3WicdmjHS-KZcq_0lhODD_sGr0Zt9HycKp-OgOqV7fwnqqsrGS8WqpaBcd1-SLdxAZWABpifU5k7SYOZs5Q_s9JgdYSUU-zubjPRlmgHv_prGiYcJFuGPlzZs3YjfL_0gf6N5GbzUq_UhTgfJg13t2iyZz/s16000/Buddy_bots_940.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>After taking a small break after #inktober2023 I decided to take a stab at the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drawmearobot/">@drawmearobot </a>November 2023 DTIYS challenge! That month the prompt and prize is from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dfunkt.robot/">@dfunkt.robo</a>t and the challenge is to transform a pair of sneakers into a SneakerBot!
After seeing lots of entries, with bots inspired by the latest and most popular sneakers, I decided to go old school. This bot is a tribute to a true classic—the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Top—the original basketball court shoe of choice.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisbAVR7HlgcB0d8bOAZyNI1UX_e8C-UYqyZD6vaps1KpSTRAvEaa4QmraxuTyZjdA98-LMG7JrdxE4NgQbqqyS0fhVFRsL3V_Kk6Kxwe5Wgsif7_K4kazNmSXNiiar_-odFjxzA-gQlfcbqgzdWB63RtXLwpMI6zGZRmBS4CrtXzsd0iiKp3kC00nnf1r1/s1175/All-Star_bot_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisbAVR7HlgcB0d8bOAZyNI1UX_e8C-UYqyZD6vaps1KpSTRAvEaa4QmraxuTyZjdA98-LMG7JrdxE4NgQbqqyS0fhVFRsL3V_Kk6Kxwe5Wgsif7_K4kazNmSXNiiar_-odFjxzA-gQlfcbqgzdWB63RtXLwpMI6zGZRmBS4CrtXzsd0iiKp3kC00nnf1r1/s16000/All-Star_bot_940.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>I really enjoy the fun prompts of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drawmearobot/">@drawmearobot</a> DTIYS challenges. I decided to participate in their final challenge for 2023.
That month, participants were asked to create a robot of their favorite food. Since pizza was already taken, tacos and french fries were my other options. Fries won. </p><p>I don’t think fries from the place with the golden arches are that good, but they are iconic. This bot is spending a good amount of time waiting on the ketchup to eventually season its fries.

This is NOT an official entry for January 2024’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drawmearobot/">@drawmearobot</a> DTIYS challenge.</p><p>Unfortunately, the prompt—a single line drawing—is a little outside of my wheelhouse.
Instead, I decided to do a ‘bot making a self-portrait in the single line style. As you might notice, this is highly inspired by one of my favorite narrative artists, Norman Rockwell and his painting “Triple Self-Portrait”.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf9qSg1lUXLviUwMQiJFDP6OjwyW_-Gz8hTI_fgKQm_5rGb7StRW_h6j7RiTY6W1j8ZQQNBLp6TZ5lFr7RMLeETy3wNF8d915X20uVpQWDRR2Ju2yw0ctcG5H52qTN0xCFdJ3Alj1EUcPILZ7V8rZlgKLxYjUApWtb0n3s0tiDwqXZCVXbaIWS4a4XYMR/s1175/Self-Portrait_bot_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivf9qSg1lUXLviUwMQiJFDP6OjwyW_-Gz8hTI_fgKQm_5rGb7StRW_h6j7RiTY6W1j8ZQQNBLp6TZ5lFr7RMLeETy3wNF8d915X20uVpQWDRR2Ju2yw0ctcG5H52qTN0xCFdJ3Alj1EUcPILZ7V8rZlgKLxYjUApWtb0n3s0tiDwqXZCVXbaIWS4a4XYMR/s16000/Self-Portrait_bot_940.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>As we transitioned from 2023 to 2024, this ‘bot is busy pondering what the new year will bring.

I decided to participate in their challenge for February 2024.
That month, participants were asked to draw themselves as either a Hero or a Villain (or both! BUT on one slide please). I decided to make myself into a hero bot. Of course, I had a lot of difficulty doing this, since I don’t really see myself as a hero.</p><p>I went a bit off center with this one. Since my last name is weZENsky, and I see myself as a pretty mellow and calm person, perhaps my super power could be the ability to bring ZEN into any conflict. Using a bit of inspiration from classic super hero comics (and perhaps a bit from the 60’s Batman TV series - Wham! Pow! Zap! Bang!), I thought it would be fun to show this Super Hero Zen Bot, bringing that calm into the fight at hand, drawing it to a peaceful end.

The biggest and saddest news was that my brother had cancer.</p><p>It was Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor with metastasis to his liver which was mostly comprised. I wasn’t sure if I should post about it because it was his fight and his choice to share. But, I thought that he would appreciate a little call-to-action.
</p><p>One of his biggest concerns was not having done enough before leaving this world. He was a software programmer, who has worked in the field for decades. He was also a tech nut who’s always tinkering with the latest gadgets. One thing that he wanted to do was inspire someone to become a programmer — particularly with the Python program language. </p><p>
If you are thinking about programming as a career and this message finds you, I hope that it’s enough to encourage you to take another step in that direction.
</p><p>Also, if you are over 50 or have a family history of cancer, please consider getting screened sooner than later. </p><p>
He was in the hospital many time, towards the end. When I went to visit him, I made him a get better card with wishful thinking.
This is a Joe-bot, using Python to program the cure for cancer. </p><p>Joe passed away in late May a few weeks before his 58th birthday.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82DBrDOnL5ycrPKLuRt4F-C1fEmIa-YQV5j0_ecnofsT_C9T14RjVBPw4C22QO_cYApiyRtOkHZy4Pk1BHKmdhtvHk19OP9OUg0ba_PiglvwHtHrGBtkgChZLMTPMxs9b8rTQa6pnhzQuVrIFgLQIdS9vEf-aEAKCOw1Rzbwy_bJF6o_thnhV8T6Uwf7q/s1175/DarthVaderBot_940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82DBrDOnL5ycrPKLuRt4F-C1fEmIa-YQV5j0_ecnofsT_C9T14RjVBPw4C22QO_cYApiyRtOkHZy4Pk1BHKmdhtvHk19OP9OUg0ba_PiglvwHtHrGBtkgChZLMTPMxs9b8rTQa6pnhzQuVrIFgLQIdS9vEf-aEAKCOw1Rzbwy_bJF6o_thnhV8T6Uwf7q/s16000/DarthVaderBot_940.JPG" /></a></div><p>I managed to get in a quick drawing for Star Wars Day, on May the Forth.

I could have used my typical excuse of being too busy, but the truth was, it was less about that and more about lack of inspiration and motivation. Perhaps a little burnout, too.</p><p>Part of it was losing my brother. We weren’t as close the the last few years but I do feel deeply saddened by his loss, mostly when I take a moment to reflect on things — which happens quite often when pen is in hand.</p><p>After that, my mother had moved in with us for the foreseeable future. It's been a bit of a cultural shock for her and us, but we're working through it.</p><p>I’ve also shifted my time onto one of my other hobbies, collecting diecast cars. To give myself a shift in creative focus, I’ve been spending some time making photographs of them. This has helped give my brain the reset it needed. You can see them at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/diecastpunk/">@diecastpunk</a>.</p><p>Coming back to the sketches: I want to get back to drawing for fun.

It’s for a group called <a href="http://www.bestbuddies.org/texas/">Best Buddies (Texas chapter) </a></p><p>I asked what the theme of the event was and they said ‘James Bond 007’. So, instead of giving one that I’ve already made, I decided that it would be more fun to make a new piece. </p><p>Here is a ‘bot in that classic Sean Connery pose. Instead of a hand gun, I thought that it would be more playful to give it a lime green squirt gun. </p><p>It ended up being sold for $125.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlMgLxcLQLyBsQHcNn4nzjw8fcDjg5PgW8WYZOs-HT2zfreCsiLD8buI7FLJ62chBP-xJ4FXUlNDBZ3v_IAIFmFGlryYs52TbX3qYqawONG7S76tGSpBj_QNO2VcAUDCDbza9FaWHIlDne3X6Xsj-dWrHMXD8ZC43S_5dwdkW1WcikoAGJFnsRv-m2w/s1175/JamesBot_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlMgLxcLQLyBsQHcNn4nzjw8fcDjg5PgW8WYZOs-HT2zfreCsiLD8buI7FLJ62chBP-xJ4FXUlNDBZ3v_IAIFmFGlryYs52TbX3qYqawONG7S76tGSpBj_QNO2VcAUDCDbza9FaWHIlDne3X6Xsj-dWrHMXD8ZC43S_5dwdkW1WcikoAGJFnsRv-m2w/s16000/JamesBot_940.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>I decided to take a small break from robots and sketch out this guy that I saw on the train a few months ago.

I’m not a very competitive person but I love to play with their challenging prompts. Win or lose, I find the accomplishment of completing the challenge is rewarding enough. </p><p>This challenge, participants were asked to recreate an amazing piece by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/benson.ink/">@benson.ink</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7OlMLy7LG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">see pic</a>) in our own style. </p><p>Since part of my style is creating a narrative behind the art, I decided to recreate one for this. Looking at Brandon’s piece, I see the defeated robot looks like the red Rock Em Sock Em Robot. Inspired by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Freas">Frank Kelly Freas</a>. I wondered if this battle bot might feel some empathy towards the casualty of the battle. Playing around with scale and some creative liberties, I came up with this tribute to Freas. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTEcH4x8zVYCj-r6cVymJLlbctysKyeS_LeZqvPwnuZQdDbEvGx0KcWgpIChF55h0TZXWVB_lgy8N6oiWzuYueIbH7f0J8LnZa3WiIgzzMj9hF1bQcExwOLgwAQZF_50UjJrmC3AcIKZIzgFw2lqr6P8DSps2RXnw27N9h6ljlV4o8Bact_LsfABw44g/s1175/DMAR_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTEcH4x8zVYCj-r6cVymJLlbctysKyeS_LeZqvPwnuZQdDbEvGx0KcWgpIChF55h0TZXWVB_lgy8N6oiWzuYueIbH7f0J8LnZa3WiIgzzMj9hF1bQcExwOLgwAQZF_50UjJrmC3AcIKZIzgFw2lqr6P8DSps2RXnw27N9h6ljlV4o8Bact_LsfABw44g/s16000/DMAR_940.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>dickdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17276905489249485208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566415130011507139.post-7697348723888179622022-12-01T10:52:00.000-08:002022-12-01T10:52:09.308-08:00Playing Around With Color<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFl5_jX8lnKcESiNSYJdzbJTvqhBR4Ian2b4mtCmVwLRY12KIuUrzEpG7yl6bAsk9KHHkB84l3mzwdpyrZM80lIQOSK3COwnRkHBiyYOkoygf3WzRUnSZQ_UovNYBbpOToIRY45AinNQNW8PHIS5PcQnyVk1P1x9KVrjuE-UuDmbxn75lqvETjsHASg/s1175/StarBot_940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1175" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFl5_jX8lnKcESiNSYJdzbJTvqhBR4Ian2b4mtCmVwLRY12KIuUrzEpG7yl6bAsk9KHHkB84l3mzwdpyrZM80lIQOSK3COwnRkHBiyYOkoygf3WzRUnSZQ_UovNYBbpOToIRY45AinNQNW8PHIS5PcQnyVk1P1x9KVrjuE-UuDmbxn75lqvETjsHASg/s16000/StarBot_940.jpg" /></a></div><br />To finish out the year, I thought I would try working with color—watercolor to be more specific.

I’ve worked with Brian for over a year, and respect him as a valuable member of our agency. His top-level creative thinking and attention to detail is rare, and welcomed in this industry. </p><p>Brian was OVERDUE for a #birthdaybot because his birthday fell right at the end of March of Robots, last year and I didn’t know much about him. Brian has a super impressive resumé with experience in lots of well known agencies. He comes from the midwest, but his work has taken him across the country and even Budapest. I decided to draw him as a mid-west polite, <b>Creative Director Bot</b>—spending his time sipping a coffee and paying attention to all the details.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjSvUp7T66vD8Jp_I-HaXux0qr5xsDXHDrZ07xpjKmuwYeOK_bOIkOmzAHoQihDHN4jjGKKpQTaJJ8kPI0oO3pDa_trX_CK-vJbw23cZ-fwJkuMNmEGZ9G9pjX46sCkDQSwppJAHq4gvp_amoIqaE0rQ4BKeqZK6f5rEI-mOTzJoJ1yA6X-MRB7PVWQ/s1350/sisterbot_1080.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcjSvUp7T66vD8Jp_I-HaXux0qr5xsDXHDrZ07xpjKmuwYeOK_bOIkOmzAHoQihDHN4jjGKKpQTaJJ8kPI0oO3pDa_trX_CK-vJbw23cZ-fwJkuMNmEGZ9G9pjX46sCkDQSwppJAHq4gvp_amoIqaE0rQ4BKeqZK6f5rEI-mOTzJoJ1yA6X-MRB7PVWQ/w512-h640/sisterbot_1080.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p>Next was Megan Robertson’s birthday. She's an Account Executive at LAUNCH and I respect her as a valuable member of our agency. She’s one of the many client facing team members who keep the work organized and the creative team happy. </p><p>Megan was also OVERDUE for a #birthdaybot because her birthday fell right in the middle of March of Robots, last year. Megan is always well dressed at work - like a true professional. She's dedicated to her family, where they are always connected to her heart. Megan is also addicted to Diet Cokes from McDonalds. I decided to draw her as a fashionably posed <b>Daughter/Sister Bot </b>with a soda—always linked to her family and thoroughly hydrated. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn96Orq8_OGOInm0HWtzt17XMPLe6RxkHWbhPQjJfwsBsNi48PQ52Jhh2-Vf5DQadqZvEJgT0WRxoJEcftPgpFiIoTyE3iEjr7rGTf-Mhm9jfAhphSPp3kqo9r78d1Cc4w9FNjDPTtVMkqVYBd9a6YUYMbwLVjmcYrrYhiiVL0AMu3IqoOhnzLVwF1KA/s1350/adbot_1080.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn96Orq8_OGOInm0HWtzt17XMPLe6RxkHWbhPQjJfwsBsNi48PQ52Jhh2-Vf5DQadqZvEJgT0WRxoJEcftPgpFiIoTyE3iEjr7rGTf-Mhm9jfAhphSPp3kqo9r78d1Cc4w9FNjDPTtVMkqVYBd9a6YUYMbwLVjmcYrrYhiiVL0AMu3IqoOhnzLVwF1KA/w512-h640/adbot_1080.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p>Next was Caleb Alba - Associate Creative Director at LAUNCH. I haven’t worked with Caleb for very long, but I do know that he is an amazing talent and a great addition to the agency. He’s really nice, too—which is rare in the Advertising industry. Caleb is also a new dad, who’s super proud of his family.
I decided to capture him as an <b>Art Director, Graphic Designer, Illustrator Bot</b>, hard at work on his next brilliant piece. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeV4BLzjc5OcqEc5mhIg-cCpFVJobjALNo3hOTqYL6imP13gzzuvKRczWrF5nTzGoLV4HmNTmAufxh-yWt9h8LIM1Z0vVLfDnSICdR5_o0YxXWj2BRDGKAvL440es2un65gWeKp_WEsbqZdS7XeKeyu_yHY_pZMmm0xmd8TFRr4-KgRMx6w1drkSUGpQ/s1350/encorebot_1080.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeV4BLzjc5OcqEc5mhIg-cCpFVJobjALNo3hOTqYL6imP13gzzuvKRczWrF5nTzGoLV4HmNTmAufxh-yWt9h8LIM1Z0vVLfDnSICdR5_o0YxXWj2BRDGKAvL440es2un65gWeKp_WEsbqZdS7XeKeyu_yHY_pZMmm0xmd8TFRr4-KgRMx6w1drkSUGpQ/w512-h640/encorebot_1080.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><p>Next up was Andrew Reimherr.

I haven’t worked with Isaac for very long, but he’s already become a valuable member of our agency. He is an amazing talent and I’ve got great respect for what he brings to the the team. </p><p>He also has a great sense of humor. With his mini desktop drum set, he’s always ready to give a ‘rimshot’ to anybody in the office who tells a joke — especially dad jokes.

It requires precision instruments to “OPEN” the head of a robot to get access vital operational parts. The procedure is typically painless, and can be repaired by using a simple welding torch. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ha89SwPts6k/YYBATrKymhI/AAAAAAAAB4k/4AZywHudrd0ms-BXA3isdb69WPvoqDWpQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_22OPEN.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ha89SwPts6k/YYBATrKymhI/AAAAAAAAB4k/4AZywHudrd0ms-BXA3isdb69WPvoqDWpQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_22OPEN.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 23: “LEAK”</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This ‘bot didn’t realize that it’s boat had a “LEAK” until it was too late. Being miles from shore and not knowing how to swim should have caused worry. Fortunately, Bucket Head ‘bots are known for their ability to improvise—especially when they forget to bring their water pump and life jacket. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HcR78c1RHVc/YYBAjws6qyI/AAAAAAAAB4s/cFibkkouGq87vVPwnXM3svx8w6j2irPpQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_23LEAK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HcR78c1RHVc/YYBAjws6qyI/AAAAAAAAB4s/cFibkkouGq87vVPwnXM3svx8w6j2irPpQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_23LEAK.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 24: “EXTINCT” </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The past called. They want their “EXTINCT” technology back. I went a bit surreal on this one giving the caller a triceratops head, just to push the prompt a little further. What can I say, it’s day 24 and my creative bank account is getting a bit tapped out. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RtT4MM50m3E/YYBA1IHgr_I/AAAAAAAAB40/tuXN31lXRIwLdCoYBEfr09m1ZrE7aKoAQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_24EXTINCT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RtT4MM50m3E/YYBA1IHgr_I/AAAAAAAAB40/tuXN31lXRIwLdCoYBEfr09m1ZrE7aKoAQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_24EXTINCT.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 25: “SPLAT”</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I thought that I would try something different with this one. Instead of showing the actual mess, I decided to draw and implied “SPLAT”. Here, this robot’s actions, to reach just a little too far out of his range, will lead to only one conclusion. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vtBJjVtvZ4o/YYBBKYCq-pI/AAAAAAAAB48/IABU4gfqN5IxJYaohSmHLG_APOrbOU84gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_25SPLAT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vtBJjVtvZ4o/YYBBKYCq-pI/AAAAAAAAB48/IABU4gfqN5IxJYaohSmHLG_APOrbOU84gCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_25SPLAT.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 26: “CONNECT” </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I’m attempting another small break from robots. The first thing that came to mind, when I thought about this prompt, is LEGO. My son grew up playing for hours with this limitless toy, and admittedly, I had fun with them too. I love how each piece would “CONNECT” to the others to create whatever your imagination could come up with. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7QRBh3_M-1E/YYBBl9076uI/AAAAAAAAB5E/MySPaImFo08-GOlLW1-o_avY5Ea2QhtkwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_26CONNECT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7QRBh3_M-1E/YYBBl9076uI/AAAAAAAAB5E/MySPaImFo08-GOlLW1-o_avY5Ea2QhtkwCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_26CONNECT.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 27: “SPARK”</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">No robot is worth its gears, if it can’t change it’s own “SPARK”plugs. The newer models come with a flux turbine core—which requires hours of fine tuning. However, ,owthese older generations are rock solid and easy to maintain, with fewer, well built parts. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-suDEnQrmCKk/YYBB0FlNzyI/AAAAAAAAB5I/FZe7Rp2tBlQY2nnLjLiWpwwJg6JQettMQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_27SPARK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-suDEnQrmCKk/YYBB0FlNzyI/AAAAAAAAB5I/FZe7Rp2tBlQY2nnLjLiWpwwJg6JQettMQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_27SPARK.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 28: “CRISPY”</p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This taco stand owner is trying a new Lucha Libre gimmick to sell his soon-to-be, world famous “CRISPY” tacos.

When juggling chickens and bowling balls all day, this bot’s unicycle tends to get a flat tire from time to time. He’s had to put a “PATCH” in several different places on his old inner tube. </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Unicycle Juggler Bot: A few years back, when my kids were a lot younger, I asked what they would like me to draw. Jokingly one of them said, a clown robot on a unicycle, juggling — so I did it. During #MarchOfRobots this year, I decided to redraw it better. If you scroll down my feed, you’ll be able to see the March of Robots version, and if you are completely bored, scroll down more to see the original sketch done in 2012. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bXuDWHP0fEg/YYBCXI87RZI/AAAAAAAAB5c/Ik996VLlUa4t4YmIa2tKNv2j7g28XnUfgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_29PATCH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bXuDWHP0fEg/YYBCXI87RZI/AAAAAAAAB5c/Ik996VLlUa4t4YmIa2tKNv2j7g28XnUfgCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_29PATCH.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 30: “SLITHER” </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I’ve been using so much ink this month, that my pencil has decided to “SLITHER” away. When this is over, I may take a break from my pens and ink wash, and just live in the world of graphite for a while—just for a little something different. </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I have to admit, this was the most difficult prompt of the whole challenge, mostly because I’m not great with drawing snakes. For almost every other prompt, I was able to come up with a visual solution that fits my style - even if I had to turn a few corners to get there. My wife came through for me again. When I was struggling to come up with an idea, she suggested a PENCIL that looks like a snake. Simple but brilliant. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ARyqM0K93I/YYBCoxRkyKI/AAAAAAAAB5k/ZwofAPhuU8YLMEhc8wvutfwKN6kMp3ymACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_30SLITHER.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1ARyqM0K93I/YYBCoxRkyKI/AAAAAAAAB5k/ZwofAPhuU8YLMEhc8wvutfwKN6kMp3ymACLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/Inktober_2021_dickdavid_1080_30SLITHER.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Day 31: “RISK” </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This robot is taking a “RISK” sliding around in its tighty whities and socks, while dancing to Bob Segar’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” —but that’s it’s ‘Business’. It’s not like it’s going to run a brothel in it’s parent’s suburban house, while they are away. </p><p style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">My wife came through for me again.

When we sign office birthday cards, I’ve tried to add a little sketch about the person being celebrated. Lately, I’ve been doing them virtually.</p><p>I'm playing catchup on a few VERY belated birthdays. I typically get these done for their happy day, but I was busy with work and a little burned out from #Inktober2020 — so I had to put them on the makeup list.</p><p>Let's start with <b>Dean</b> - <i>Creative Director</i> at <a href="https://launchagency.com">LAUNCH Agency</a>. Dean’s birthday was actually last October. </p><p>I’ve worked with Dean for a many years and respect him as a valuable member of our agency. He’s a brilliant Art Director / Graphic Designer and I often aspire to create as well as he can. Dean is also from England and a true Brit. So, I decided to draw him as a <b><i>Brit Bot</i></b>, with a Union Jack on his head, Dr. Martens on his feet, riding an iconic Mini Cooper. Happy BELATED Birthday, Dean! </p><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-21_OxHo9Lds/YPH1RRaeAII/AAAAAAAAByo/Qrr1Ze07FF0l_55Gd5TI8-pjWsWriXbewCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Dean_BritBot_1080.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="754" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-21_OxHo9Lds/YPH1RRaeAII/AAAAAAAAByo/Qrr1Ze07FF0l_55Gd5TI8-pjWsWriXbewCLcBGAsYHQ/w603-h754/Dean_BritBot_1080.JPG" width="603" /></span></a></p><p>Now let's move on to <b>Amy</b> - <i>Senior Designer</i> at <a href="https://launchagency.com">LAUNCH Agency</a>. Amy’s birthday was actually last November. </p><p>I’ve worked with Amy for a couple of years and respect her as a valuable member of our agency. She is one of the most talented Graphic Designers that I’ve ever worked with, and we are fortunate to have her on the team. You can see some of her work on her deign Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amynortman.work/">@amynortman.work</a> or her website: <a href="http://amynortman.com">amynortman.com</a> </p><p>As a graphic designer, sweating all the details in her work. I decided to draw her as a <b><i>Kern Bot</i></b>, adjusting the spacing between type. Happy Belated Birthday, Amy!</p><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HR9DEy9W33U/YPH2w6LI6rI/AAAAAAAAByw/S2SbzTOmxKEqiwFhMiUnSjsGjUT5ZTGAACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Amy_KernBot_1080.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="754" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HR9DEy9W33U/YPH2w6LI6rI/AAAAAAAAByw/S2SbzTOmxKEqiwFhMiUnSjsGjUT5ZTGAACLcBGAsYHQ/w603-h754/Amy_KernBot_1080.JPG" width="603" /></span></a></p><p>Now let's move on to <b>Ray</b> - <i>Controller</i> at <a href="https://launchagency.com">LAUNCH Agency</a>. Ray’s birthday was actually last December. </p><p>I’ve worked with Ray for a few of years and respect him as a valuable member of our agency. He is the one who keeps the finances and numbers right in a world full of left brained creatives, and we are fortunate to have him on the team. Ray is also notorious for honest and funny movie reviews, an expert on craft beer as well as a damn good golfer. I decided to draw him as a <b><i>Golfer Bot</i></b>, always hitting way under par. Happy BELATED Birthday, Ray!</p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XumGczNiBG4/YPH219DUmbI/AAAAAAAABy0/mtHBg9S093UoVlxV-EbSJrtxnQTg5PA7QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/Ray_GolfBot_1080.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="753" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XumGczNiBG4/YPH219DUmbI/AAAAAAAABy0/mtHBg9S093UoVlxV-EbSJrtxnQTg5PA7QCLcBGAsYHQ/w602-h753/Ray_GolfBot_1080.JPG" width="602" /></a></span></p>dickdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17276905489249485208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566415130011507139.post-82255586979959527692021-07-12T14:45:00.002-07:002021-07-15T19:09:59.866-07:00New Commission Work - Realtor Rob<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8B9KPg2JyQ0/YOy3aUuhZII/AAAAAAAAByU/6HqA9GY8-1QbPOVEJM4GzcFDalE8qK-mwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/RealtorRob_NoType_1080_crop.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="774" data-original-width="1080" height="458" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8B9KPg2JyQ0/YOy3aUuhZII/AAAAAAAAByU/6HqA9GY8-1QbPOVEJM4GzcFDalE8qK-mwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h458/RealtorRob_NoType_1080_crop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><p></p><p>Sometimes, I get unusual requests.

Most of those requests are from folks who want free stuff. It's partly my fault, having a little impostor syndrome, mixed with lack of experience and a bit of always wanting to help a friend out. </p><p>For a while, I was also getting requests for art that had nothing to do with my style or subject matter. I make line art with ink washes of robots and caricatures of people. When I get requests to do paintings of landscapes or true-to-life portraits, it's clear that person has no clue as to what I do. Just because a person makes art, doesn't mean we make all art. </p><p>I've also been burned on a few art requests. Somebody promised to pay me for art, only to ghost me after the work is done.</p><p>I've decided to try doing commissions again, but this time better prepared. I've got a whole new process of steps and information that I share with potential clients to set expectations. If they agree to those terms, we can start making art. </p><p>My rate is probably below industry standards, but high enough to make sure folks, who want commissions, are serious enough to not waste my time.

I decided to pull together the work that I had done for <a href="http://www.dickdavid.com/2021/04/march-of-robots-2021-finished.html">March of Robots 2021</a>, and display them in a booklet. I wasn't sure what the end goal would be, either do a few and give them away or print a bunch and sell them. Turns out, the upfront cost of producing them, along with the high risk of not selling any, pushed me to rethink getting a bunch printed. I'll probably sell a digital pdf of the book for a few bucks. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tAPrIB1JjqM/YKbHPWCjOiI/AAAAAAAABrM/o4QU--SHiisaxwlWQ4vSagtsflBHT1lzgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/IMG_5621_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tAPrIB1JjqM/YKbHPWCjOiI/AAAAAAAABrM/o4QU--SHiisaxwlWQ4vSagtsflBHT1lzgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_5621_1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ7yq4dzB7o/YKbHPRhOCuI/AAAAAAAABrQ/MP7Sd7DC8ZIj8aCjBG5fC41FPLY0aMgHwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/IMG_5622_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ7yq4dzB7o/YKbHPRhOCuI/AAAAAAAABrQ/MP7Sd7DC8ZIj8aCjBG5fC41FPLY0aMgHwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_5622_1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wksto0I0kcM/YKbHPLnGWnI/AAAAAAAABrI/HXkW4KZ6c1sZOgAWxDP-8OjL0JW9rwmvgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/IMG_5623_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wksto0I0kcM/YKbHPLnGWnI/AAAAAAAABrI/HXkW4KZ6c1sZOgAWxDP-8OjL0JW9rwmvgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_5623_1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>I've also done a few Birthday Bots.

Here are the latest ones:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pq7moBDoY0s/YKbHevVVnWI/AAAAAAAABrg/7fYtVE6uR9UBPXHWeWAk1Sj2SjroGfjBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/D03F1D7F-BA94-4ACE-AD96-860EF2B283FF_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="718" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pq7moBDoY0s/YKbHevVVnWI/AAAAAAAABrg/7fYtVE6uR9UBPXHWeWAk1Sj2SjroGfjBQCLcBGAsYHQ/w574-h718/D03F1D7F-BA94-4ACE-AD96-860EF2B283FF_1080.jpg" width="574" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alexa</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ecmNjVvzFqc/YKbHeABdZUI/AAAAAAAABrc/RYB7SdsHcY4_2UAlKahKa5yFWBMyeZomACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/C2ECABB4-AC72-4800-84A0-F770D0E37C78_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="719" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ecmNjVvzFqc/YKbHeABdZUI/AAAAAAAABrc/RYB7SdsHcY4_2UAlKahKa5yFWBMyeZomACLcBGAsYHQ/w576-h719/C2ECABB4-AC72-4800-84A0-F770D0E37C78_1080.jpg" width="576" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Brittany</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eFBiXX0Aj2g/YKbHeHHS-tI/AAAAAAAABrU/zZ3I3J1aB88BqWAP4r0HDrQC6j_5tOTKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/1908DEDB-DD66-4E17-9DF5-C13D960E628B_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="720" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eFBiXX0Aj2g/YKbHeHHS-tI/AAAAAAAABrU/zZ3I3J1aB88BqWAP4r0HDrQC6j_5tOTKgCLcBGAsYHQ/w576-h720/1908DEDB-DD66-4E17-9DF5-C13D960E628B_1080.jpg" width="576" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Macy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YIYj5cPdpy0/YKbHeKANwPI/AAAAAAAABrY/a5grplTGIyI5120eS27ZqcSojs75AbhSACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/2BFA9F9D-489B-488B-88BB-23D964454DEC_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="723" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YIYj5cPdpy0/YKbHeKANwPI/AAAAAAAABrY/a5grplTGIyI5120eS27ZqcSojs75AbhSACLcBGAsYHQ/w578-h723/2BFA9F9D-489B-488B-88BB-23D964454DEC_1080.jpg" width="578" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alicia</div></div></div></div></div><p><br /></p><p>Finally, my wife and I had celebrated our 25th Anniversary. Even though we're both vaccinated, we still worried about getting out somewhere fancy to celebrate. Instead, we got takeout and watched an awesome movie. My wife got me a really fancy watch and all I gave her was this silly sketch of us on our wedding day. </p><p>I’ve always been fond of this picture from our wedding. Not because it’s a great shot, but rather, it truly represents how I felt that day—hopeful, in love and ready to face the world and the future, with her. I’m grateful for every day since. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sQhqisKvIPE/YKbICL985rI/AAAAAAAABr4/qL507SXGBOQMBDXFHJDljrFVZFSUkCr4gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/EF9163A1-11DE-4735-8498-B936C0142314_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1080" height="737" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sQhqisKvIPE/YKbICL985rI/AAAAAAAABr4/qL507SXGBOQMBDXFHJDljrFVZFSUkCr4gCLcBGAsYHQ/w590-h737/EF9163A1-11DE-4735-8498-B936C0142314_1080.jpg" width="590" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>dickdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17276905489249485208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566415130011507139.post-31498538347181243372021-04-09T14:37:00.000-07:002021-04-09T14:37:59.560-07:00March of Robots 2021 Finished<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mXViFbRnHGg/YHDGW-IzQ8I/AAAAAAAABpM/zCkF012ulKAsJ0djnmvU0qR-GMzCae-nQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1388/MoR2021_01_TitleFrame.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1388" data-original-width="1080" height="831" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mXViFbRnHGg/YHDGW-IzQ8I/AAAAAAAABpM/zCkF012ulKAsJ0djnmvU0qR-GMzCae-nQCLcBGAsYHQ/w645-h831/MoR2021_01_TitleFrame.jpg" width="645" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This year, I decided to participate in my first <a href="https://chocolatesoopstudio.com/marchofrobots" target="_blank">March of Robots</a></span><span face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">, an online drawing challenge conceived by DaCosta Bayley founder of <a href="https://chocolatesoopstudio.com" target="_blank">Chocolate Soop Studio</a>. </span><span face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Every March, artists all over the world take on this challenge by doing one robot drawing a day the entire month - 31 total.

I’m starting to develop my own series of OC robots. Not that this style hasn’t beed done before (and probably not very own-able), but I wanted to start putting names and personalities to each of my ‘bots. This bot is Box Head #boxhead, obviously defined by the box shape of his head - which I’m trying out on different body types. Maybe those will be interchangeable. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y_hF6XMBmDY/YHDC9Pp8fJI/AAAAAAAABl8/ncnkRLspC4wYxr8JjHlcQ2Enjx5IEKzswCLcBGAsYHQ/s1388/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1388" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y_hF6XMBmDY/YHDC9Pp8fJI/AAAAAAAABl8/ncnkRLspC4wYxr8JjHlcQ2Enjx5IEKzswCLcBGAsYHQ/w498-h640/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_04.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;">The prompt for day 5 was <b>“Sword”</b>.

This one might be a stretch today, but I wanted to have a little fun with it. For the 21st year in a row, this chef ‘bot has taken first place with his 'award winning' robot chili recipe. His secret is that it’s made with extra WD-40, low sodium SAE 15W-40 mineral base oil, and lots of love. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jFDWRQTiUgY/YHDFEstciuI/AAAAAAAABn0/BD0X6ZvSqcMrGM2CUCpRzk7oskRaxgz9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1388/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1388" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jFDWRQTiUgY/YHDFEstciuI/AAAAAAAABn0/BD0X6ZvSqcMrGM2CUCpRzk7oskRaxgz9gCLcBGAsYHQ/w498-h640/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_21.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;">The prompt for day 22 was <b>“Job"</b>.

This one pays tribute to the service task of ‘dish washing’, which still gets done by hand (even at my house). Today, we have energy efficient machines that fit under our countertop and use a lot less water. But after the last few that have died, right after warranty expiration, it’s clear to me that they don’t build them like they used to. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vjN6V3LhAxM/YHDFKjDFVgI/AAAAAAAABn8/tJI8UCu9eXkdQjUDeD3BNkhcFHEeymUegCLcBGAsYHQ/s1388/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1388" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vjN6V3LhAxM/YHDFKjDFVgI/AAAAAAAABn8/tJI8UCu9eXkdQjUDeD3BNkhcFHEeymUegCLcBGAsYHQ/w498-h640/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_22.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;">The prompt for day 23 was <b>“Chain"</b>.

With a cord that can extend up to 25 feet, surfing your favorite shows can now be done with the simple twist of a joystick, turn of a couple of nobs and a flick of a few buttons—all from the comfort of your davenport. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X5VDBE8P_S4/YHDFeJW9tMI/AAAAAAAABoU/n_DqxAYJ8uYJ-xorXJUFoLisL6CabyeMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1388/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_25.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1388" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X5VDBE8P_S4/YHDFeJW9tMI/AAAAAAAABoU/n_DqxAYJ8uYJ-xorXJUFoLisL6CabyeMgCLcBGAsYHQ/w498-h640/MoR2021_01_ALL_NEW%2BCOLOR_SM_25.jpg" width="498" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;">The prompt for day 26 was <b>“Box"</b>.

The second time I heard the phrase was reading the book <b><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot" target="_blank">I, Robot</a></i></b> by Isaac Asimov. I believe the character, Susan Calvin, mentioned it as a pun.</p><p>Fascinated by the phrase, I wanted to get the true meaning. The translation from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina">internet</a> is <i><b>'god from the machine'</b> </i>—which seems pretty bitchin'. It goes on to state that it <i>"is a plot device whereby <b>a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence</b>. Its function can be to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or act as a comedic device."</i> </p><p>Wiki goes on to say: <i>"The term was coined from the conventions of ancient Greek theater, where actors who were playing gods were brought onto stage using a machine. The machine could be either a crane used to lower actors from above or a riser which brought them up through a trapdoor. Aeschylus introduced the idea, and it was <b>used often to resolve the conflict and conclude the drama</b>. The device is associated mostly with Greek tragedy, although it also appeared in comedies."</i></p><p>I like the idea of an <b>abrupt and unlikely resolution to an unsolvable problem</b>. Sometimes, when I draw robots, I try to think of them in situations where they <b>resolve conflict</b> or find opportunity to <b>create solutions</b>. Ultimately, my goal is to give a slight nod to the idea of deus ex machina, and build a better narrative in my work. </p><p>In social media, I'm going to try and hashtag my robot sketches with this phrase. Right now, some fashionable motorcycle clothing company—who uses the phrase as their name—is using it, which I feel is way out of context. </p><p>My goal will be to take it back for the machines. </p>dickdavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17276905489249485208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2566415130011507139.post-61342869877519274652021-02-27T04:57:00.004-08:002021-02-27T04:57:31.676-08:00I Heart Robots<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ESPgXv__rDs/YDpA_J2THGI/AAAAAAAABjM/s0-GdPj8Uewkq_3xcAlESZCn06IFUdXJACLcBGAsYHQ/s1412/IMG_0061%2B2_1080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1412" data-original-width="1080" height="852" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ESPgXv__rDs/YDpA_J2THGI/AAAAAAAABjM/s0-GdPj8Uewkq_3xcAlESZCn06IFUdXJACLcBGAsYHQ/w652-h852/IMG_0061%2B2_1080.JPG" width="652" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Inspired by a scene that I recently saw in the movie <i><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Real Steel</a></i>, I made this new piece in <a href="https://procreate.art" target="_blank">Procreate</a> on the iPad. I loved seeing the connection between a boy and his robot. Not wanting to copy the scene directly, I tried to capture the moment in my own style, with my own characters. Clearly, I need to work on my lighting technique to help lock in the emotion, but I still had fun making this.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5UegfatFKYg/YDo_88xXbOI/AAAAAAAABi0/NjZsr8RkmQ0p-vX9VbG0l25R5usYiIBswCLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/IMG_4981_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5UegfatFKYg/YDo_88xXbOI/AAAAAAAABi0/NjZsr8RkmQ0p-vX9VbG0l25R5usYiIBswCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/IMG_4981_1080.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6P2JAX_g92s/YDo_89IJaKI/AAAAAAAABi4/Ss4MOzoHBvg60FBlNsosYRrop1GurQtcACLcBGAsYHQ/s1080/IMG_4811_1080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="893" data-original-width="1080" height="530" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6P2JAX_g92s/YDo_89IJaKI/AAAAAAAABi4/Ss4MOzoHBvg60FBlNsosYRrop1GurQtcACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h530/IMG_4811_1080.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div>I often find myself writing or saying, <i>"I've been drawing too many robots."</i> or <i>"I'm taking a break from robots."</i> because, frankly, <b>I draw too many robots</b>. The fact is, <b>I love drawing robots</b>. The biggest reason is that I'm horrible at rendering reality, but I love trying to create a narrative with expression and emotion. Robots can be posed or given subtle expressions to imply these things, without having to really struggle with nailing a realistic capture.
<div><br /></div><div>Fortunately, for me, other folks feel the same way about drawing robots. I'm about to 'dip my ink' into another challenge that really speaks to me: <b><a href="https://chocolatesoopstudio.com/marchofrobots" target="_blank">March of Robots</a></b>.

I need to draw 31 robots in the 31 days of March. I'm certainly up to the challenge, but I've set my goals low. I probably won't stick to the prompt list, this time, and I may not get to all 31. I'm just happy to have an excuse to draw more robots.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://chocolatesoopstudio.com/marchofrobots" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
