But can’t I imagine that the people around me are automata, lack consciousness, even though they behave in the same way as usual? — If I imagine it now — alone in my room — I see people with fixed looks (as in a trance) going about their business — the idea is perhaps a little uncanny. But just try to keep hold of this idea in the midst of your ordinary intercourse with others, in the street, say! Say to yourself, for example: “The children over there are mere automata; all their liveliness is mere automatism”. And you will either find these words becoming quite meaningless; or you will produce in yourself some kind of uncanny feeling, or something of the sort.

- Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations (1958)

Inktober 23- Rust

So I was crying while I drew this. Not because broken automata make me cry, although they do. Just the fucking state of the world. So this is the best thing I've drawn while actively sobbing off my makeup. Too bad it's not political in any way. Pretend I said something pithy about steampunk and gothic horror, my heart's not in it tonight.

Achieving a character's likeness is hard when their eyes are covered 95% of the time... so I have to PRACTICE

I highly recommend you read the original short story here

"An American artist's (mistaken) drawing of how the Digesting Duck may have worked"

"The Canard Digérateur, or Digesting Duck, was an automaton in the form of a duck, created by Jacques de Vaucanson and unveiled on 30 May 1764 in France."
