Combo of a bit of loomis tutorial, and starting to use photo refs for stuff.

The organic part looks good, but the mechanical one doesn't seem to fit very well, and possibly is quite useless (i.e. no rotation at the shoulder)and the pose of it all is quite weird

but the lines are solid and I think it could end looking good

Yeah. The shoulder does actually rotate, the central big shaft at the arm joint pivots however, the front on perspective gives away any feeling of movement that might occour.

Added a foreshortened leg in the foreground which seems to give the rest of it a little more logic, also i think atm it might be tilted to the left more than the final pic.

btw, is that pectoral a tad too big?

Based it off arnie (thats one freaky body he's got there...)

it's flat. literally - like not even simulated 3d (aka foreshortening). the mechanic parts are just rectangles, not cynlinders...what's the dealio? can't have realistic machinery look flat unless it's a blueprint...

Yeah. Was working from a photo reference and completely forgot perspective.

The lower internals were done at an angle but the arm came out dead flat. Too pre-occupied with the actual bits I guess.

More than likely when I finish this batch of line art I'll lop that arm off and re-do it with proper perspective.

>> Added the head. Low res scan loses alot of the detail. The arrow indicates the rough orientation of the picture I'll use in the final. Not ready to clean up yet so didnt rotate (nice triangle edging lol).

That arm's still gonna have to go i guess.
