Leaving Town
Usually when I draw something I have a very specific idea in mind from the beginning. Sometimes, though, I just start doodling and see what happens, and that's where, many hours later, this came from.
There's quite a bit of detail in it, so please, click to enlarge:
This is available as a print.

Oh, and here are a couple pretty cool robots that came out while I was sketching.

you are so amazing.
Very nice Rob - and I really like the extrabots. Would be cool to see them all finished as well.
Leaving Town reminds me of an underwater environment with the two robots passing through. Nice work!
Awesome image. There are so many things I love about this piece - the tentacle critters, the opposite hearts, the subterranean city... Very well done, sir.
oh, i really, really like 'leaving town.' it has to be my favourite yet, i agree with the comment about it looking like an underwater environment.
amazing. genius. great stuff
Rob, you seem like a nice guy, I hate to be the one to break it to you but it seems no one else will. Your robot girl couldn’t work, not even in CSI. Take a good look at those gears (is that how Americans call them?).
I know it’s supposed to be art but things like that are just fundamentally wrong and disturbing to me on a level that you probably could never understand.
I guess that's why she's bummed out. Actually, it's a good point, I'd meant for the gears to be on different layers, but it doesn't really come out that way.
I fixed it - stuff like that bugs me too.
I love it love it. I want a print.
Wow, really nice Rob.
i love it, its kind of beautifully sad
beautiful.
your work is such an inspiration :)
I'm just curious what inspires you?
i must say the same thing.
beautiful.i want it.
wait please!
really great, i like that special atmosphere you 've got :)
it's really interesting to see the initial sketch too!
it's always a challenge to create all an universe just from few lines...
by the way you said "many hours later" how long exactly?
i so love the creatures! both cute and creepyso as the robots.
Rob,
Not to mention NIN connection again, but you are my new god.
Have fun!
Very cool.
I really like the city in the background, the detailing is amazing!!!
Amazing stuff, Rob... I love your illustrations and also all your arwork you do for NIN, keep it up!
BTW the unused robot sketch is very cool. Is there any chance we may see them elsewhere in the near future?
There is some truth in this picture! I think that there is a robot in everyone of us.. well.. that was first thin that I thought when I saw this picture!
I love the 'skyline' in this one, a fitting background really makes a big difference and adds that extra to any illustration...
And the fish! (..right?) Brilliance. Oh and, maybe I'm overly analytical about this one, but they're...under water? Like others pointed out too... Anyhow, the colors look great and add kind of a dim feel to it.
Oh, and I also like the skeletal detail in that raw sketch. Rant rant rant...Keep it up!
I didn't intend for it to be underwater, though it was certainly inspired by underwater elements. That's the nice thing about art though, it can be whatever you want it to be.
RE: The extra robots - I'll probably do something with them, eventually. I think they're more interesting than the robot I went with in this, but they're not appropriate for this image. The robot in this needed to be a bit warmer and cuter. It reminds me of something from a Miyazaki film.
This is one of my favorite pieces so far. I love the creepy, whimsical atmosphere.
Wow, that's a cool drawing. You really have some excellent work! Keep it up!
You make this look so effortless, but there's no way I could do what you're doing here. Just amazing. I like how you see things in the world around you and incorporate them into these fantasy pieces.
This one is awesome! I love all the details, love the idea, and the little guys on the ground. Great work!
Brill! Reminds me of the work of Chiho Aoshima. Have you seen her stuff?
