Well this feels a bit like spam after the amount of exposure this image has received lately, but I promised myself I’d post here once the Master and Servant judging was complete to see what reactions it might attract ‘outside’ of the challenge. As usual, any comments are gratefully received.

It’s also another opportunity to say how much I enjoyed the challenge, particularly the fantastic sense of community that everyone helped to create. Brilliant. Here’s to the next one…!

Oh it’s very nice, I like the whole composition. The only thing bugging me is the right hand of the robot. Just seems a bit odd from here, but it may just be me. Nothing else to add, it’s georgeous.

congratulations matt!!! the lighting is cool but I’m wondering where the ‘spotlight’ on the girl come from if the sun appears to have come from behind the robot.

The whole scene is very much like The Iron Giant.

Once again, congratulations!

this image bears viewing again. nice work Matt! I like the whole concept of the city on the giant’s back… really emphasizes what a huge massive guy he is :slight_smile:

#18

Nice! I really enjoy looking at this piece, my eye keeps exploring the factories. The poor girl… is she doomed? Or does she save the heart of the giant an his evil industry? I hope the latter, but I guess it’s usually the other way around. Thanks for posting it.
