More from ~OatmealFTLOTUDO

The Dying EarthSky overtaken, crimson, vast,
Dark light laps the peaks of hills.
Survived the bloated toll of years,
Each burst of flame could be its last.

Floor uncovered, waves shrink past,
What's left saline burns fish's gills.
Red light dries the mountains' tears,
Empty ships on each unveiled mast.

Old skin cracked, an ancient cast,
Hot air settles, breathing stills.
The ants live out their petty fears,
Kings of the land, all else surpassed.

Deep in the caves, faces aghast,
Skulls see how eternity kills.
Wistful ruins, history leers,
Empty mills,
Shadow clears,
Anoxic swills,
Starfield veers,
Unfelt chills,
No one hears,
And the planet dies at last.

From "Foundation and Earth" by Asimov, the scene where they find the 20000 year old robot on Aurora. I thought it was a neat concept.

Made with:
Pens
Sharpies
Green highlighter
Black magic marker
White acrylic paint

Brilliant drawing! The visual aspect of that scene always was intriguing.
(Also I happened to notice your signature. Fellow TOS lover? Hi there! =D)

Thank you! Science fiction ruins in general I think are very visualy interesting.
And yes, I am a TOS fan. The rice-picker quote is hillarious.

Science fiction visuals in general are, but I see your meaning. ;)
It is indeed. As is 'that helmet covers a multitude of sins.' :XD:

All that from household supplies? You are magic. Get a tablet and become magic-er.

Thank you.

I have a tablet. I use it for messing around on photoshop, but I like drawing on paper better.

Me too, but a tablet does have its advantages. You can't, for example, fix a mistake in pen+ink by pressing ctrl+z.

And then the robot rises from its abandoned grave with a vengeance against humans: "you do unessential things"
