OFFLINE Digital Painting WIP

Well, er...does she need to be dressed so...provocatively? And all limp and seemingly-unconscious like that? I look at this and think more "Gimpbot bring new flesh-slave for Thrustbot master! Slave serve when chloroform wears off from puny organic nervous system!" than "tender moment between two doomed lovers."

She needs to wake up and curl around him, look tenderly up at him, caress his jaw, something to indicate that she wants to be there, and that this is not a case of the robots makin' off with our Earth women. I think giving her a bit more clothing would help with that, too (it can still be sexy clothing!). Right now she looks like a harem girl. Give her some pants, boots, a white top, and an unzipped leather jacket, and she'll be sexy as you like--but she'll look like she was doing something other than languishing amid silk pillows, waiting to be ravished before Robot swept her off her feet.

(Unless women all dress like that in your future, in which case, so long as there's some sociological pretext provided, carry on! --And, poor future women! Bare skin against metal is so cold!)

Your robot is wonderfully expressive, I like his design quite a lot--though I'm not sure what those knobs on his head are for. Steam release? He looks like he's using hydraulics...anyway, they're kind of visually distracting. Kind of like a dorky steel mohawk.

Good advice, too...

Hi Trenchcoat,

Sometimes when you design you put things for aesthetic reason because it looks pleasing and sometimes you do functional design in which you incorporate functional part on the design. Combination of this two are always effective because it will neither be too fancy or too boring. As for the exoskeleton I will try to make it simple as I can but the inner part you can see it's like a car engine we feel distracted of it's deatails because we don't know the inner workings, for this one it's just a representation of what mechanics it has inside it's body.

As for the girl, yes you were right I am going to add dress on her no sense she being naked but in tights though, as for now this is still on WIP so many thing can change until I find what I really want with the piece.

The girl went offline so she won't be able to hold the robot though.

Hrmm. Well...I think you're going to want to change the story around this image (to make her able to wake up after all), or redraw the robot extensively so that he's looking down at her, brushing away a strand of hair, something tender--not just holding her up as if offering a hundred pounds of meat to some unseen metal master. Since you've put so much work into the robot already, I figured you'd rather change the girl. If you're absolutely married to the pose as it is now, hey, excelsior and all that, but your image is not going to communicate the sentiment you want to express. That's no skin off my nose.

OK, here's my recent update. I've change a lot from the last WIP. Painted a blue dress and add few more details. I am happy with the over-all sketch so I am going to continue in this direction which is more closer to my pencil drawing. Any advice is welcome!
