Description

"The Diogenes Robot, six feet tall, stood on the sidewalk, one arm upraised, the other stiffly at its side. The upraised claw held a lantern. Nothing shined inside the hollow cage of the lantern. No bulb, no flame. The robot's face: Round, glass-shielded eyes. Raised areas in the forehead for brows. Another raised area for a nose. Empty slit of a mouth. A tin can, pretending to be a head, perched atop a bigger tin can pretending to be a body, with twin columns of smaller tin cans pretending to be legs underneath." This was the brief I got to create an illustration for The Diogenes Robot- story by Mark Rich at Strange Horizon (www.strangehorizons.com). I unfortunately missed the deadline. :( And they had to post another image of mine. But you can still go and read the story there. Modelled in Wings3D, Background modelled in Bryce, from pre-existing parts. Rendered in Bryce, touched up in Photoshop. Nice to post after a long while! :)
