Hello! I am an artist who enjoys drawing robots, and thinking about a whole lot of science fiction things.

This is meant as a dedicated art blog for original art, if you are here from my main blog my fanart will be there.

This idea has been lurking in my mind for the past two years I think, and it has finally been realized!

Happy second birthday to the two in the bottom right corner, they are the first robot characters I started drawing!

[ID: A robot with many arms and many eyes is working at a counter of a storeroom, simultaneously typing on a keyboard, looking at a computer monitor, holding a clipboard, and reaching for several items. Farther into the shop, a second robot is carrying a set of sheets towards the front counter. On the other side of the counter, a cylindrical robot with red details and one visible arm is holding the hand of an android that appears to be a child. The storeroom has two aisles visible in the image, lines with shelves holding many boxes and bins. /End ID]

Sometimes you draw one robot doing acrobat type things and now you have enough circus robots to fill their own zine

Made in Clip Studio Paint using this color palette

[ID: Digital art of a robot seated, facing away from the viewer, done in a lineless style. Around the robot are streaks of color forming a whirlwind. In that whirlwind there are numerous broken robot pieces, many with dents, cracks, or sparks coming out of them. Some of the image is also covered with a cracked screen effect. /End ID]

Happy 10 years to the Obergefell v. Hodges decision (slightly belatedly but still).

It's a pretty scary time right now, but I'm trying to hold onto that glow that I felt 10 years ago hearing the news.
