An updated version of my ”Runaway Automaton" Concept Inspired by 80s video games and the kind of stuff I used to draw on my folders in school as a kid. This robot is breaking out of its grid. A whimsical robot with a large head and multiple articulated limbs floats against a backdrop of a clear sky and scattered clouds. Its hands are equipped with various tools giving it a multifunctional appearance, and it has expressive digital eyes on its screen-like face which add to its charming character.

My First AI Generated Piece, Stepping Nervously into the New. A stylized human figure is highlighted by a glowing, explosive effect emanating from where the head should be. The person appears to be touching their chin in a contemplative gesture, contrasting with the chaotic energy around the head area.

This is one of two paintings I did for an art show in the Rice Village at a Pub called Timber Wolf, with my friend and fellow artist Andy Howell.
