nice character, very good texturing job.what soft and what technique did you use?

Excellent work. The texturing is very nice, and overall it’s a very well put together image. I would encourage you to think some about what this robot is doing, and why he is where he is. Right now it’s basically just a robot standing in a desert, I don’t feel you really get a strong sense of why. He seems to have a very strong and centered pose, whereas I believe your intention for this character is to create a world-weary nomadic appearance, perhaps the pose could be changed to suggest this, right now I think it is too symmetrical. Also, the staff does not seem convincingly held by the robot, and I am also questioning what purpose the staff has. Perhaps the staff could be a walking stick, and the robot could be leaning with it as he trudges wearily across the desert. Again, thinking about why the robot is there in the desert and what he is wandering to/from/looking for might give you some further inspiration to improve the image.

I like the planets in the sky, however I’m not certain about the lighting of the planets. The lighting in the scene appears to come from behind and to the left of camera, whereas the light on the planets appears to be above and to the right of the camera. I would think that given the angle of the sun in the desert scene, the planets should be lit more from the front, and that we should see more of the lower portion of the planet lit. It might be good to do some research on moon phases, and study how the moon appears depending on its relative position to the sun and Earth.

I like the way the wind is flowing over the cloth pieces on the robots head, but I am also curious as to their function for the robot…do they serve any purpose other than decoration and to show wind flow.

IMO, the lighting on some of the shaded areas of the robot is a little too dark, such as under the shoulderpads and between the main two pistons in the robot’s abdomen.

Lastly, I love the used feeling of the texturing, I’d like to see maybe a little more dust and dirt on the robot, maybe on the lower parts of the legs.

Overall you have done some very nice work, and I think a more dynamic pose for the main character would be the key to bringing this image to a level of excellence from both a technical and artistic standpoint. Thanks for posting it!

Incredible job. You are my hero. It’s got a ton of emotion.

#26

Great work!!! I love the tone!!!

#27

Looks cool! The only crits is about the mismatch of the shadowing direction of the moons and the shadow of the robot.

#28

great work…i iked the concept very much

#29

Great model and lightening man ! Certainly one of the nicer robo designs I saw lately. I like it’s simplicity.

#30

good work…

i’m loving this man, awesome design model, and texturing, only crit i have is more of a suggestion, another layer of dirt on the texture, or more contrast (just a bit)on the existing, dirt, damage, etc in the texture, would really beef it up i think. but that’s just me, i love this piece overall, you’ve got nothing to worry about here, good job
