"´05: Inspector Gadget" by Ruben de Vela

This picture is absolutely stunning. It deserves respect for the imagination that you must have had to turn a very happy and naive Gadget into this piece of art with such a dark and sombre tone. The expression on Gadget's face is absolutely perfect, and the addition of Penny. One thing that I would like to say however, is that Penny perhaps should have a different expression, perhaps looking away in sadness or in the same determined manner that Gadget has. But other than that, this is fantastic and a fresh approach to an old character, and an approach which made me think and smile. More inspector gadget would be amazing, but of course, an artist is bound by muse and not popular demand =)

Keep up the damn good work!

I really wouldn't mind this a graphic novel... acquiring the rights could be troublesome though

this picture is soo awesome, i was a huge fan of inspector gadget and love how it looks like Claw is ruler now.

Wooooow. Completely unlike the original cartoon series, but immensely fascinating all the same! Like others have said, turning the context dark/apocalyptic was a wicked cool idea.

Ok, as a kid I always hated Inspector Gadget, but this is absolutely inspired! I could watch this! Contact some studio and get this in production because the inspector is definitely due for a rehaul in image and this is absolutely perfect. Bravo. I applaud your imagination and your talent in putting it forward for all to enjoy.

I soooo wanna make a R rated version of gadget when i see this picture, great feeling, great motive .. love it

Gadget, only totaly cooler

This is too sweet for words, glad it got a mod's choice. It certainly deserves it.

Awesome! It kinda reminds me of that guy from cowboy beebop though...What was his name again?

nice!!
