Bot art illustration 机械人 | 月旦评

For the first time, I'm creating an art drawing not for contesting purpose on Steem. Happy to announce my new collab with @cryptogee for making art illustration for his book. He publishes a science fiction story Asimov's Ghost chapter by chapter where you can have a look on his page. Excited yet feeling new in this collaboration as this is my first time.

I used to make artwork in contests with specific themes, many will focus on the end result of how amazing the drawing skills were used and how beautiful the final work looks. But few appreciating the effort in finding the subject to interpret the theme, to me that is the most important part to settle before lifting the pens.

This artwork was made with my recent favorite art tool, the Copic markers. I have many black and grey color set in hand which coincidentally match with @cryptogee book's theme -- dark and something technopunk.

这是首次在 Steem 上作画而不是为了参加比赛。很开心的宣布这是首次我和 @crytpogee 的一次在创作上的合作。他在自己的主页上定时连载了科幻小说《Asimov's Ghost》，有兴趣的可以去支持下。

合作的模式就是他根据每个章节的内容给我点指示，然后我在画出来交差，他就会连画和那个章节一起发布。

这幅作品依然是由我近来最爱的 Copic 马克笔所创造。Copic 名下的颜色系列实在是太过庞大（300+色）而且很贵，我的手上主要拥有调色为主的黑色灰色系列，凑巧的和 @cryptogee 要求的黑暗庞克风格不谋而合。

If you have followed my previous making-of post for artwork creation, I used to take pictures of the progress at quite a constant interval. Not this time as you can see, from sketch straight to the final product.

Not because I changed the style of recording progress, but simply because I was so into it that I forgot to take a break and take pictures...

Maybe this is an indicator telling me that I should do more of it?

值得一提的是，有留意过我以往的作品的朋友应该都会发现，我习惯性的会在固定的间隔记录当前进度，而这次只有第一张的草稿，接下来就直接跳成品了。

不是因为改变风格，而是一画起来就忘了，直到画完才发现。哈哈，也许说明了我很享受这次的创作过程？
