The blending is good, but there are something you can improve: 1. the reflections of the scenery in front of this robot are not relevant, some rotated clockwise, some not, and it should be in the center on the head of the robot (because it appears palindromically on the two arms) 2. the darkness inside the mouth is needed to be much darker (compared with the shadow on other parts, you can see that easily) 3. if the neck has its reflection, so does the head, at least a part of the head should be visible in the reflection. GL, author!

Thanks for your input langstrum, much appreciated. I tend to take artistic license to achieve the look I'm after, here I wanted to utilize the existing reflections in the source to create a new object. I could have rendered proper reflections but it's more fun to use as much of the source image as possible. The head refection looked confusing and I opted to let it blend into the top for simplicity. The look is meant to be very bisymetrical again just for the "look" I wanted. Think of it as part cartoon...part photographic.

Very good work and has at least something to do with the original picture, unlike many other late entries.. Those nice eyes definitely make it look more 'cartoonish' ..

In my opinion, the arms should be at the side instead of nearer to the front, but this is a great robot! Very nice blending and excellent highlights and shadows... good luck

I like that.....

I appriciate you and your work it is really very good. And i think you did a great job(h)

I suppose all the members who have thanked me for suggesting improvements to entries must be lunatics, then...

Just poking fun at your "robot" comment CMYK. You know I appreciate your help but there are some newer members who don't know your comments are meant to help not hurt.

Well, at least it's a good robot...

Excellent work and idea.

very nice work, especially the eyes, and great sbs.

Heehee...cool!!!

Haha, a.k.a. Bobby the Robot . Good luck!

The name alone is hilarious.

Congrats on 1st place

Congrats for your first place, Spaceranger!

Congrats

Nicely done, congrats on the win.

awesome 'headwork.' a little anatomic problems... ( that doesnt affects the work) try to give different postures for the hands... and give a palm.. rest is very welldone!

The headwork is really awesome...Great creativity....

Awesome work...great idea...

It reminds me a samurai...

Add some hands and this will be better...

thanks for all your comments. I added the hands with shield.

its look better now

Totally love this

Great use of the source I love the detail on the helmet part.

Good work here. Don't really like the green/blue reflections, but clean job and good use with the source. Once again missing an interesting background, it wouldn't 'eat out' this kind of nice image..

Congrats !!!

Congrats for your second place, Shaiju!

Congrats

Nice image, GL, I think you need to give the link for the second man.... :-b

The second man is made from the same source as the first one, I made him a new leg and coloured it etc..

Reflection of man at left is too big, otherwise nice job...

Great thinking..GL

nice work

Nice job...I like the transparency in glass window areas. Nice saturated feel too.

Reminds me of a hamster cage.

Look pretty good in high res.

Congrats for 3rd!!!

Congrats for your third place, Widiar!

Congrats

Ok, I think this is so totally cooooooooooooool!

yes Loopyluv... its really cool

maybe just a few and larger would have been good, too, but pretty cute, nice effects!

Yeah. Maybe too much action on the screen. Could use a more creative background, but nice groove.. err.. picture anyways

very nice work...like this crazu sceene very much...good luck author

Alright please put down those killer psychedelic drugs and slowly step away from the computer j/k great chop

Congraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

nice idea, but would like to see it in hi-res. you might try adding some track and smoke. clever wheel design!

The picture posted is a high resolution one...Due to width of the picture it appears small..

nice done

It is not high-res, click the high res box when uploading it....

Thank u for information looyluv ...i was not aware of clicking of high res box....Now i have done that...

at high resolution the portion where smoke beginins, doesnt looks perfect. u need to work on that. and that track perspective... other wise very welldone!!! still some good marks and goodluck!

There are no background wheels...perspective should be adjusted.
