Just over a decade and a half ago, I created a character called Evil Death Robot. It 's back story is that it was built to be an assassin AI robot, but rolled off the assembly line with a conscience. It had empathy that it had to try and hide from it's evil masters. But, It was still considered defected, and ended up being locked in a store room.
When I created this character, it was before I knew that I am autistic, but in retrospect, I can see that is what I'm basing it on. It's that notion of being outcast for having feelings and not actually being inside what everyone on the outside expects you to be. A notion that also goes far beyond just autism, when being outcast for who you are.
This artwork was created in 2009, when I was in an experimental phase of using photography in the artwork to create the base texture of elements. I did stop doing it like that though.
