Illustration Friday – Talisman

by Dot 7 April 2009 1,777 views 13 Comments

Good morning! For Illustration Friday (yeah, I know it’s Tuesday, I’m late) (and yesterday’s MSCEApril) I’m presenting this lovely little robot, with his flower talisman. To a robot, a flower which grows from the earth must have magical properties!

(Note, please don’t steal – if you’re interested in using this for your own tattoo, please email me and we can work something similar out.)

Oh yeah, and I’m excited about this! We had a really fun trip to trip to Boston this weekend and saw the space where the Robot World watercolors are going to live for a bit. I’ll post more details soon!

Twitter It!

    I am always a fan of your robots. They look so friendly.

    About the Easter eggs, you asked about, here are my links:

    http://carolbrowne.com/index.php?itemid=2504 – 2 washi eggs and a gold glittery egg. The Washi eggs are wooden eggs covered in paper. I blogged about that here – http://carolbrowne.com/index.php?itemid=2480

    They are quick to make – and really easy. And they end up looking very nice.

    I always like how you manage to make your robots so full of personality.
    This is a lovely image.
    I watched Wall-e the other night – its a fab movie have you seen it?

    I love the sentimental robot! By the way, hot press has a smooth surface, cold press has a textured surface. The smooth surface generally allows for more detail and is easier to draw on.

    thanks, guys!

    Brian,
    I’m not sure you actually typed that question correctly, but if you’re asking if i designed it as a tattoo or if it was for something else… I did design it for this specific purpose.

    Very cool robot, Dot! He’s so smooth, and almost childlike. I love his flower. Seeing a robot that loves and nurtures flowers reminds me of Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky (Laputa).
