Robot Painting

Oh, That turned out really well. I really like the concept and the subject. I think you should try to make the metal look a little more like metal though.You could just layer mask some metal on top of it, then work it in so it doesn't look like your using some picture to make texture. I would also try to avoid outlining. I think there is enough contrast on the metal from the background, so you can easily paint that metal to the edges. And maybe give the robot a little more of that blue from the background... not super blue so that its mono tone, but just enough so it has a similar color scheme. Any way, Super job. Colors are awesome, robot looks cool, Composition works, and it all looks good.

Thanks Starscream. The concept and everything just happened so organically with this painting... I never planned it, I just started painting one day and it grew from there naturally as I thought about it after I started.

I see what you mean about having some reflections of the surroundings on his metal body. I might try that later, but I'm quite happy with it either way.
