Jacob Epstein’s “Rock Drill” 1913-15

Much has been written about the figure, its symbolism at a time of war (the machine gun like rock drill itself), its gender (the drill is obviously a huge phallus and yet, on close examination, the figure shields a foetus of the species between its ribs)

Torso in Metal from the Rock Drill

“Torso” is thought by many to reflect Epstein’s revulsion at the maiming and butchery of soldiers in this new and deadly form of mechanised warfare. The white plaster figure straddling the rock drill has lost both legs, one arm and a lower arm, but the foetus remains safe.

Vorticists exploring questions of embodiment, transformation and the fusion of human & machine over a century ago.

Y'all are acting like the giant robot fandom invented the eroticism of the machine when I've literally met self-taught mechanics who talk about working on their shitty cars in exactly the same way. When you've heard somebody wax rhapsodic about the transformational power of being shoulder-deep in a 1993 Ford Taurus, seeing folks on Tumblr shitpost about roboticising their genders just ain't that unusual.

Day 13!

A short little animation thing of Rock using Quake Drills, which is Tempo’s Special Tool/Weapon. If he uses it for too long, he’ll start behaving like Tempo as well due to the fact that his processor has a tendency to download extra Data when copying.

This was maybe a bit of a stretch but I had very few ideas on what to do here lol

No undo button, we die like the kings of hyrule

#they die a lot #ok small rant but do you know how hard it is for me to understand the undo button?#I carve eggs. EGGS.#my primary form of art for years has been on something that's very breakable- but also every stroke I make is completely irreversible #I can't erase a layer of eggshell I carved and I can't cover it up or like. add more eggshell on top of it fhcjdhxudjd #same with etching glass- I can't undo anything there #the closest I've gotten to an erase button before is carving rocks- which you can't take back a stroke but won't really be visible #unless it's really deep and intentional #and I can erase pencils if I sketch it out on an egg first #but other than that it's just. if I make a stroke in art in my mind it's there permanently because there's no going back #If my drill skids across an eggshell while I'm doing it I change the entire design to accommodate that and make the mark look intentional #so this undo button thing makes no sense to me!! If I make a mistake should I not just keep going??? and find ways to work around it #because that's what I have to do with eggs #Also there's layers- and doing layers in digital art is actually easy for me to grasp because I've carved emu eggs #(emu eggs have different tiny layers of colour I can carve through)#but the undo button can die by my blade #like the kings of hyrule to gavondoofies. yes.#personal #lol????

Rock Crush definitely seems like an orphan that Glober took in.

Honestly what I love about Rock Crush and Glober is that they knew eachother before Machina blew up. They left together, albeit in different pods, and I’ve always assumed that Glober had been taking care of Rock Crush for a while.

I wouldn’t be surprised that Rock Crush was a scared and lonely kid who Glober picked up off the streets and said ‘yeah you’re coming home with me’. He has an affinity for bonding with misfits and outcasts given that he is one. I love it so much.

But yeah i definitely think Glober took it upon himself to take care of this kid when he had no one else , it’s a very Glober thing to do. Get adopted, loser.

#je sees the little mole all scared and cold and he’s like I have room for one more #every day I think of when Rock Crush crashed on earth and drilled into the underground cable he screamed for Glober #I cry every time #my poor baby #:(( my baby #Glober takes one look at a weird little guy and decides to bond with them #did that to Deep Bite too #I bet he wouldn’t leave the guy alone until he let him be friends with him #love them so much your honor #mars blurbs #Metal cardbot #Metal cardbot S #메탈카드봇 #메탈카드봇S

Come To Daddy -

"It’s the scariest video ever!"

"SCARY!!! WHAT THE FUCK"
