Finally getting this posted…
Basically the idea is this:
A Man is driving this huge machine through these hills. This machine / robot is destroying everything in it’s path (nature / people / animals) with it’s massive destructive “mouth” near the bottom / front and it’s many insect like grabbing arms. To the side and top of the machine are huge “spitting” pipes which spew out all the carnage from the unfortunates in front that it has chewed up… leaving a path of destruction and dismemberment in it’s wake (a trail behind it, smoke billowing into the sky).
The driver sits on a wacky mechanical pulpit (Brazil-esque design of entire machine) that is attached to a large catwalk that places the driver out in front of the machine / robot. He is obviously mad with power as he controls the fate of not only the vehicle / robot but of everything he is driving over as well.
But…
What he doesn’t know is that the catwalk his pulpit is attached to is retractable and that it is also situated inside of a smaller mouth, which is beginning to open behind him, beginning to pull him in as well.
Above him, in the tangled super-structure of this massive machine / robot sits a control tower with silhouettes looking down on the scene.
Who is really pulling the strings? Who is the Master / Servant?
There are so many levels to this master and servant challenge and I wanted to portray that in this work. It’s both political and fantastic… dark and humorous. We’ll see how it plays.
I’m not sure if I’ll do an actual pencil sketch this time, I may just do the whole image in Photoshop. We’ll see. Stay tuned for more updates to come.
Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks for looking!
