Speed Paint - Drawing the Saddest Death in the World

Character is Photar, also known as Epsilon - the robot perished in the rain when fighting Pluto, a much larger, destructive machine. Being solar powered, he found himself at a disadvantage, ultimately perishing by electrocution, blowing up in a massive spectacle when trying to save a human child he cared for. All of these was ON screen and was just absolutely traumatic. It's why Pluto is to this day one of the villains I still fear the most.
The episode was "The Greatest Robot in the World", and the uncensored version can only be found by digging. While the scene doesn't show much more than bright lights and sparks, it's the overall trauma in the episode that caused it to be censored.
He was such a sweet character, it's a heartbreaking scene for a children's show. Not to mention the numerous other deaths that occurred on screen that would definitely not be allowed today. Robots or not. However, it was the un-censorship and the emotion that made it so memorable.

I didn't realize the irony in "Singing in the rain" until the video rendered. Makes it kind eerie tho- >>

[@prxcto]

the talent you've got is crazy! may i ask what equipment you use to draw with?

[@cossie8142]

Aw!!

[@prxcto]

@@cossie8142 ooh! Is there a reason you tend to switch around a bit? I've tried out Krita with a wacom tablet of mine, does yours have a screen? Mine doesn't and I find it virtually impossible to use! haha

[@cossie8142]

It actually does not have a screen! :D When you get started with a tablet, it can seem really confusing as you can't exactly tell where you're moving when drawing. However, similar to most things you do end up getting use to it! Just keep working with the tablet and you will get the hang of it. And as far as switching around, nope! No reason~! Depends on how I'm feeling!

@@cossie8142 i've spent a good hundred hours trying to figure it out but honestly I just don't think i'll manage it! haha I already thought your art was amazing but I'm in awe at the fact that you use a tablet without a screen and everything comes out so well! :)
