Thanx everybody 4 crits comments & support!i take care of any crits and make work better& better thanx all cheers!!

i have done different moods..i'm not sure about the final ambiance...

this is my favorite...i would like to add another object or character close to the robot like someone suggest me..i'm thinkin about somethin original and maybe change the pose of the robot...

MAn you're working fast!!! there's still like 4ish days to go, It's looking great already you'll have heaps of time to polish now

Hi Mathieu, Very nice...I quote this choice too. but as I said about the color of the robot, it was too much, now I think the color of the background is...too much little, it needs more variety of colors if not it can seems flat...just a little suggestion...But is going to be very nice, I like the composition...

thanx a lot hhssuu i know i still have to do more detail & finition..
centurion: my image looks more shiny in this thread than in my computer screen but u right maybe more color could be cool...

very nice....shows great skill

Great style, nice view and overally a great work. Good luck, this one is really ineteresting

Good job getting different atmospheric conditions.
My choice would be top right background (with the rocks the robot is standing on) coupled with bottom left robot. This should pop your robot outstandingly.

Hi Matheiu,

The temple in the background shows now much clearer than when I checked into your thread last time. Seems to be some relationship story-wise between the robot and the temple, everything is looking much more consistent and clean. Agreed with some of the comments that maybe theres too much ambience generally - the colour (red/yellow) of the robot were a standout part of the image previously and wouldn't want to lose that - he's still cool though. Maybe lessen the mist lying in the bottom right of the picture and deepen the colour and tone of robot and environment that appears more to the foreground. Might obscure the temple a bit again - but think there's just a little too much of a 'washy watery' feel to the range.

As far as another character/object - maybe go with some accessory for robot like ropes for getting down / having climbed up, bring him more into the environment - say like relax the right arm with robot-style rope twining down from it into the valley. Just an idea.

Hi Mathieu,


It looks great, agree with previous comments on top right image with robot pullout from bottom left. Your materials on the bot and the rocks look great...

thanx a lot for replies & comments..i would take care 4 surenow i want to change the robot pose..and put a kind of fat metal cable comin from the sky and goin to the temple and the character takin that cable to go down...

Hi Mathieu...I'm waiting fo the next upgrade....We want more...more...more...
