This is the first time i ask for help. 
I don't know but i want to hear what you guys think of it. Something about the drawing doesn't feel right, that's why i want suggestions of what i should change or improve. Remember that the giant ball is made of a mirror metal, and it reflects what there is in front of it.
Feel free to do an overpaint.

| I like it. You could probably make it look more shiny if you used some harder edges on the bot. |

Right now it is a happy devil perched in the atrium of hell..
That may work..
It lacks emotional content...It is a robotic shape of metal in hell..and it should either have some anthropomorphic aspect for pathos or be sinister as a force of evil
Perhaps that is too trite..
It is an interesting work..with the mirror image on the face of it |

| The thing that bugs me about this painting is the ball's legs and the rock it is standing on. It seems like the rock should be brighter, at least towards the bottom, where the lava is glowing. Maybe the legs could use some of the attention that went into the ball? (which looks very good by the way) |

I noticed that some parts are smooth, maybe if i use some of those harder adges i could bring out more of its shiny. Thanks

Yeah, i see what you mean. The rocks are very close to the lava, that means it should be even more brighter, also the legs of the robot.

Looks nice dude. I think the contrast with the lava could be a tad brighter or you could take a look at some real lava photos.
Also, the dark areas of the rocks in the background could be darker shadows to get a more depth feel.
One last thing I think you could improve also is the shadows hitting the mirror ball from the legs. They could be darker too and I think that would make it stand out more. Very nice though! Keep it up! A+
