Description
Here is the first try at making a corrosion collector. THis guy is sucking up the technology that decays our society. I tried to create a human form with the 'technology' bits. The tire is the head, the watertower his arm, the lock is his foot. This is why the foreground has a flat look to it rather than stuff being heaped.
The image did not work because people did not see the character in the pile of junk and it just looks flat. To change it though ruins the message that I was trying to convey.
I like the collector though and the corrosion collector being attached to him and through him. I hesitated to post this but it's just wild enough to be interesting.

Ho! yes wonderfull fantastic impresive scene !!! creappy but interesting concept for environnement ! Awesome shot with lots of sensible Dtails... Oups, Hey !! My cellphone mooving on the desktop !! ho! ouf.. Happylly, it was just the vibrator... ;o) Excellent realisation, xxxxx,
Very cool idea. I still see the hint of a human figure in the junk, which is just as effective IMHO. I kinda feel that I'd like to see more happening where the corrosion collector is absorbing the junk...just a thought.
Interesting cocept this must be mikes ugly brother.
wtg sorry have missed a lot of your work but im back and posting now
Not surprisingly civilization is based on violence against people and the environment. The result? Increasing entropy and alienation. Someone has to pick up the mess. Excellent work Nancy.
Very cool, really excellent image:)
This is an amazing composition with incredible imagination!!!! Bravo!!!!!
Very imaginitive work but very realistic in making your composition. Fantasy being real!
WOW very creative and great compo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great concept for this work Nancy!A fantastic original carachter for an excellent composition!
Wow this is great Nancy! Once you pointed out the figure in the junk, I can see it :) Lots of detail here! I'm going to have to look at it more closely at home. Monitor here at work sucks.
Great atmosphere and lighting. Certainly it's difficult to see a human shape of that pile of junk but the end result it's very good. Interesting idea and composition. Hmmm, maybe that collector should have been a female with a pair of big tanks to keep what she collects! 8-)
This is fantastic scene Nancy, an excellent composition, you got a very creative and imaginative image here. Excellent!
Such an imagination !
Very unique I think, and I get it! Looks angry goo
Exellent image and I love the concept, it reminds me of a giant figure I saw made of junk, they put up in Bristol, it was huge and represented the amount of rubbish we throw out every year, so Nancy, your image has a green message too.
it took me a couple times of looking but I do see the likeness of a man figure.very original art that makes a strong statement.excellent work
I'm really Glad You desided to Post this. You're take on this theme is so interesting on so many levels. Very Clever. Love it!
Am not that optimistic about our environment... I think we will get consumed at the end by the leftover trash... I think we will see our end with society hiding in Politically correct and ergonomic holes in the ground on Penny lane avenue... ;-) Great job Nancy
A very provocative image! The 'Junk Man' is so cool! - Old cars, machine guns, railroad tracks, motel signs, and of course his enTire head (sorry, couldn't be helped) - He's great! I used to make drawings of people made of all kinds of stuff so this takes me back as well as delivering a powerful message. Super job, Nancy!
Nicely done...!!!!!
A fascinating and extremely creative image and I especially like the character who is somewhat of a hero for sucking up all that trash. Man does he have a big job.:o) Superb work. CC
I think it's great!, a cool concept very well done.
Outstanding and very imaginative! Does he have any siblings? We need one like him in Ireland :)))
Very innovative, thought-provoking imagination. A clever concept, though a little creepy. Superb, Burpee.
