As always, suggestions are welcomed!

Wow! Very nice! Love the palette. Is some of this done in Painter?

[dmcgrath]

mmm...





maybe it needs more cowbell.


but seriously, fantastic bit, lots of personality in the robot, hes been integrated into my current desktop.

[TomServo]

Wow! Thanks a bunch! I'm honored!!!

Yep, you guessed it! The whole thing was done in Painter. I just did the masks in Photoshop (I find it easier that way).

Anywho, thanks again!

i like it. nice character.

but my desktop's a closeup of madonna's forehead and its going to stay that way.

[TomServo]

No offense taken. I'm sure the average picture of madonna's forehead has much more 'artistic touchups' than any one of my paintings.

[InkFarm]

it was just a joke. i was serious when i said i like the painting/

[TomServo]

Doh, I got the joke. Thought I'd be funny in return but failed miserably.

[Pagmatic]

I like it too!

the art; and the jokes too...

I love the picture. The design, the texture, everything is great. If I were to make any suggestions it would be to drop the saturation of the lights on the robot. Not the lights themselves, but the glow around them.

I've noticed in images with glowing bits that things tend to look..well I hesitate to say 'more realistic', but definitely better when you have at least two levels of glow. First, a very solid looking glow that extends just past the borders of the line work, and then a glow that is lowered in both opacity and saturation that extends further.

Grok?

i want to see more light spilling out of it, like around the "collar".
