Artist's Comments

UGGH. Another bad title. Sorry sorry! D:

The theme for this round was to pick something that means a lot to you and make a half human hybrid with it, with creativity a big emphasis. I chose "science and technology." Before you ask, yeah, coffee was a VERY close second (rofl).

This came out just about how I wanted it to, which actually means something because it was VERY tough to pixel. Fitting that electrical wire patterning to look good on a human shape was such a challenge. The shading especially I am super proud of; it kind of reminds me of my "Rhyvera" deviation with the really high contrast shading and I think I did even better here ([link] for comparison).

Critique is always welcome.

Haha thanks. The actual amount of colors I used in just the main white ---> gray transition was five D: I actually had to go back and count because I didn't remember off the top of my head and it surprised me since I've never used that many colors for just one color transition. I was originally using one less when I first started and noticed that adding the extra one made a big difference.

The thing _I_ can being see off is her right arm - it suppose it should look as if it's pointing down, but instead, it just looks... short. >> Probably the upper arm is a tad long as well.

The other thing is the waist-hips area. On her left, there's not much waist. If her torso's supposed to be basically straight, probably her hip and waist should be more separated, curvier. If her left is not so curvy because she's leaning to the right, her right hip should stick out a bit I think. O_o It might be just me watching too much anime.

Neato. Liked the details like the extension chord, the electricity, and the 'technology' designs on the body. Somehow, it's hard for me to draw 'technology'. :(

Nice one. It actually reminds me of the protagonist of My Life as a Teenage Robot in a way. XD

The journey of a single step begins with a single step.

In the infinite vastness of the universe, I believe stupidity is its only constant.
It varies in degree and variety, but in the end, it is there.

Thanks for the feedback!

I really tried to get that arm to look as if it were at an angle, and I think the lines and shading is just a bit off where if you look closely it looks odd, like you said.

I tried to make her body look more angled than curvy like a human's to show off that robotic look to her. I'm having a hard time seeing the problem with the hips, but I haven't had any art classes or training dealing with anatomy so I'm not doubting that there is one.

Anyway thanks for the critique, it's always welcome =)

Thanks! It's tough for me to draw technology too -- 90% of my gallery is of organic matter, and even then mostly people and animals. I think I need to expand my horizons a bit. If only I could find objects more interesting to draw D:

We wrote our names down on the sidewalk
But the rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant:plug:
