Hi there !

I'm trying to make a little something for this week's challenge, and since I'm not a very original girl, I decided to make a robot :p

So here it is (not finished at all), but I wanted to get some advices about it (if anatomy and lighting was correct in particular) :



(oh and please forgive me for my bad english, I'm french ><)

I edited it but... doesn't it look quite strange now it's more contrasted ? >.<

it looks good, but I think you're still being too conservative about the contrast. When you compare the original with a quick adjustment I made, the original looks very washed out.



Contrast is basically having a larger range of variations and comes in multiple forms, such as light/dark or between different colors or textures. Since so far it's mostly just light/dark variations of the same color with the same texture, it needs that light/dark range to be expanded. Either that or the types of colors used (reds, yellows, etc.) could be expanded.

Looks awesome. Reminds me of Ghost in the Shell and Björgs music video "All is full of love".

I'm not quite sure about the nose though.

Oh, it's really better with more contrast ! Even if I liked the matt texture...

I'm not fond of the nose also, and I didn't like her eyebrows... (maybe I'll try to put them back latter)



I change the nose in a more "inhumain" way, what do you think about it ?

I think I'll try to make wheels moving instead of her heart ^^(and maybe 3 or 4 wheels turning behind her as a background)

thats probably why so many people still stick to b/w photography.....

the center of the chest seems the likely place to put it, as it would fit perfectly. The heart is more centrally-located anyway, and robot anatomy has some wiggle room even if the human heart is sliiiightly to the left in humans' chests. seconding the contrast crit, it's better, but could be pushed further.

not commenting on the 'most important thing in art' bit ;)

A simple typo. The g and k are next to each other on my keyboard....


I think it's better, but there's still something wrong with the bridge of the nose. Too broad, perhaps. Actually, it might have something to do with something cure pointed out in another thread. There should be a recession above the nose and between the eyes, which isn't really clear in this picture.

I understand the discussion about whether to keep the eyes open or closed. She seems very human with the latest set of eyes, losing some of the doll quality she had with closed eyes. I guess one alternative would be to draw blank eyes, without an iris or pupil. A bit cliché perhaps.
