Sloppy start. Some anatomy and perspective to work out before I begin refining.

I desperately need to finish a weekly soon. I keep getting close but not enough to submit.

Idea is is that at the time when Art Nouveau was at its peak, there were no real "robot" tropes the way we have today. Artificial people, as they appear in early literature, are much more organic.

I started my piece and then I opened this topic to see how is doing everyone else, and your pieces look different from mine. Am I missing something? Please, tell me.

Also, any critique is welcome.

I missed the "robot" part! Well I have a new idea which I like even more, and will work on that.

I'll finish this WIP some day, though. Maybe even make it a robot unicorn.



Love this challenge!

Make it a robot unicorn, it would be nice. I think the horn should be even bigger, like so:

Here's what I've got after a day of work. Trying to make an unnatural shape look natural.

Don't worry about the text, it's correct :)
If you really want to stick to an all French spelling, then Saint Petersburg would be written "Saint-Pétersbourg" or "SAINT-PETERSBOURG" if in capital letters.



Not sure if I have time to work more on this one, meh

I've done I guess. Wanted to animate it, but already spent 10 hrs with it and can't see it anymore.
