Yay! Gecko is back! That baby giraffe is soooo cute. Cool texture on it's 'fur' as well. The trees in the background work really well with this, I think. They are muted in value perfectly, but still show their form.
Great work! MORE!  |

Shouldn't the bus cast a shadow somewhere? (maybe a reflection too) i really like the giraffe and the mech too! The bot doesn't seem very balanced however - it seems like it's just about falling over forward. Nice to see you back  |

congrats man! Glad to hear they finaly accepted you, you definitly deserve it!
The mech is super cool -love it.
the bus looks convincing at a quick look,
(could you show us the original bus?)
There are two things that I thing could be easily improved:
The landings stage is nearly as far away as the bus from the viewer/camera, but the bus seems to be more sharp than the landing stage, the bus also hasn't any blur from moving, which me thinks would be a nice detail to add.
Maybe you could paint the stage where the people are supposed to get off, even higher so
there would be an intersection with the bus, which would make it even more easier for the viewer to understand space and disctance in your pic.
There are surely lots of fency details one could add, though it's great work.
The giraffe is a real cuty, kids will love it for sure.
Love your textures, both on the giraffe and the mech. |

| My only crit is that there should be a little of the bus reflection on the water, make it interact a little bit more with the environment. I'm not sure about the blur making it look better but it's worth a try. |
