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...

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

Heehee...cool!!!
