Hey everybody.
I took a break from my "real work" today and scribbled out this little robot guy. I would love to know if you guys have any suggestions about what I could add, take away, or accent on this thing. I am interested in maybe developing him as a character, and would love your input!
Thanks as always,
Jeremy

Looks like BoyscoutBot v1.0 . It looks really nice, like something off the Buzz Lightyear Cartoon heh. YOu might wanna make the bubbling green stuff in his torso look a little more realistic. That and you should add a shoulder mounted cannon!  |

"Give me your lunch money!"
Hi Jeremy. Fun pic!
I'd add some access panels and chipped paint here and there. Maybe some decals.
The extended hand looks a little funny to me. I think the thickness of the fingers makes the foreshortening a little awkward. It almost looks like his knuckles are bent.
I don't think you need the rounded lines on the left side of the green liquid. The fogged glass sphere could just fade out at that point like you've done on the right side.
Maybe a couple highlights that really pop? |

�Gunarm is pretty devoid of detail, but maybe you're intending to do that.
�The texture of the leg and arm metal is inconsistent, methinks.
Looks good otherwise. |

Hey Guys,
Thanks so much for the comments. I always appreciate the feedback.
1) I agree with draping the red "cape behind him. Otherwise it looks like a shawl. Ugh. As far as the back ground...I think I just threw that in there to make it abstract. Not sure where the robot "is actualy.
2)This being a "jot and tiddle", I really did leave all of the detail out. It certainly could use more. I think tubes connecting his "juice bowl" to other parts of him might help his design.
3) Michael, I like the idea of the chipped paint. I think if I ever took this to a finished piece I would add that for sure. I did kind of screw up the hand, because his hand is closed, and I think I muddled that all up. Oh well....we all learn how to be better every day thank god! Thanks for pointing that out!
Anyway, thanks for all of the comments. They really do help.

I like the background..
The red thing around his neck needs to be draped down towards his back..... like a cape. Otherwise it just looks too girly. (no offense ) Secondly, add a shadow to indicate the direction of light and it also gives the appearance that he's standing on something solid.
Definitely something worth pursuing |

VanhoozerArt,what about adding some more detail around the "eyes" and on the gunarm?
And you could add some ...eh I don't know the English word at the moment... tubes (is that right I don't know) I'm thinking of something the liquid in his stomach runs throug. Maybe these tubes? would also look good on the arms.
Sorry bad English |
