Robot Butler's Dream Sketches

**Robot_Butler** · 02-12-2009 04:36 AM

Thanks Zhaylin. I hope, one day, to be good enough with my digital stuff to sell some prints. I'll have to call you for your credit card number when that happens

Here is another quick landscape using the (slightly cheesy) color pallette from my last study. I'm still mainly using the pastel brushes in Painter. Still a little intimidated by the oil-type brushes.

This is a real beach in Hawaii, but I've had countless dreams that start here. It is one of those places that jumps right into my mind when I'm visualizing a peaceful memory.

How peaceful...

**acatalephobic** · 02-14-2009 01:54 PM

these are all amazing!
but i'm particularly in love with the postcard paintings, the ink and washes, and the one of the leafless tree.

you are so incredibly talented.
there's no way to be sure, but to see them makes me feel like i've seen your dreams too.

they must be so beautiful.

This was going to be a part of a larger piece, but I got bored with it. I will probably come back to it at a later time. I think I'm done with all these pink clouds. Maybe... almost done...

**panta-rei** · 03-04-2009 04:16 AM

Wow, astounding, RB...

However, this one made me think of the Neverending Story... I still love it.

That's exactly what I told my girlfriend when she asked "What did you paint today?" I said, "Falcor"

I saw a cloud formation on the way home from work that got stuck in my head. It looked just like Falcor. I sketched it out, then fell into a weird hypnagogic scene with it as I lay in bed unable to sleep.

My god man, these are amazing!

With a few exceptions, /agree with this.

**Robot_Butler** · 03-05-2009 05:39 PM

Thanks Beeyahoi

You're not even put off by all the fluffy pink clouds I've recently been into? I wonder, if you put a microscope in my ear, would you see nothing but pink fluffy clouds floating around my brain? Frightening.

**Apopholis** · 03-05-2009 09:32 PM

Just as a matter of interest, have you ever seen work by an artist called George Grie? I think you might like his work. He specializes in digital work, look him up.

I've heard of him referenced in relation to the history of digital art, but I don't know if I've ever actually seen any of his work. I will have to look into it, thanks.

I am more for realism than abstractness but I like that yellow bridge. It reminds me of a Van Gogh. Though, by me saying that that doesn't mean that I like VG's work, I was just trying to compare it with something bright and vivid.

You should join Deviant Art http://www.deviantart.com

**Robot_Butler** · 03-18-2009 05:58 PM

Thanks, Grimbones. I just remembered, when I was in school drawing that still life, I had stolen the chair to hold it hostage from my roommate for two days straight. It was the main reason I set that up in the first place. It was some sort of inside joke that I'm sure I thought was hilarious at the time

I keep meaning to get a Deviant Art page together. I might actually even have an account, now that I think about it. I'll have to go track that down. I'm always nervous about posting finished stuff on the internet, having it stolen, or getting sued for some NDA bullshit.

I've grounded myself from painting for the past few weeks so I would study for my LEED Green Building certification exams. Too bad it didn't work at all, and now I'm just behind in both my artwork and my studying

**Lady Grimbones** · 03-19-2009 06:01 AM

Just use photoshop or whatever to put watermarks on your pictures before posting them on DA.

Stunning man, stunning! I especially love the painting of the cloud dragon. It makes me want to fly! Amazing stuff, bro. Keep it up

You have amazing talent, Robot_Butler.

Thanks for sharing your artwork.

**panta-rei** · 10-10-2009 10:06 PM

I agree with the bump.

Any new work, RB?

**Robot_Butler** · 10-13-2009 09:34 PM

Thanks, guys

I haven't been doing a lot of dream drawings lately. Mostly I have been keeping busy with little studies and exercises. Working on more technical aspects of painting and drawing. Let me see if I have any recent stuff saved on this computer...

**Robot_Butler** · 10-13-2009 09:39 PM

Here is a real quick digital painting I did a little while ago. I have some scanned sketchbook pages somewhere around here, also. I'll try to track them down.

**panta-rei** · 10-13-2009 10:08 PM

That's wonderful~

No rush, of course.

**CoLd BlooDed** · 10-13-2009 10:13 PM

The dragoncloud one is phenomenal, and I absolutely love how subtle the hands are. I'll be honest, I didn't notice them at first, but when I actually focused I was like, Woah that's sick!

All of it is incredible. Are you an artist or somethin'?

**Spenner** · 01-18-2010 03:36 AM

Awesome stuff! Very distinctively cool imagery, and it feels like I can place myself into the emotional situations you might have faced just by looking at them.

Great work!
