A messy painting I've been working on and off since January. I had no intentions of rendering anything besides the face. I wanted it to have sort of dingy, dirty, unpolished look to it. I'm happy with the subtle uncomfortable feeling I managed to carve out here! Less contrast heavy version under the cut!
I want to talk about what's going on here, but it's one of those massive spoilers in case I ever get around to publishing this as a story. It's not as sexual as it appears, although I did use that imagery as a shorthand for being used.
You as the observer know he's a fully sentient robot because you're reading a story about sentient fictional robots, but to everyone else he's just a really advanced walking toy. I like it when the horror story starts being horrific from the supposed monster's side, and I want this one to be a constant living nightmare for the bots.
