I love how his face is divided up into 'sections', and how there's a hole near his ear. It lets you see into his complicated mind!

Wow, that looks weird. It says critique encouraged, but I really can't think of anything to say... *Looks again*
I think it's great the way it is.

Heh, thanks, but there are several things to fix on this image, like, the head looks a bit flat, it needs more shading to add depth, the wires in the ear aren't convincing enough, the radiating circles should be redone etc.
Thanks for trying though, I always enjoy a critique

"Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep" is one of my favorite books EVAR!
i think the notion of robots developing cognition is a very romantic notion :]
have you ever seen the Animatrix? i found myself tearing up during the "Second Renaissance" during the robot genocides
that's right. i'm a geek.

Auh
Reci ces da nisma normalna ali vise mi se svidja robot izdanje. Nekako je...lakse za dozivljavanje. Sama pomisao da je neko nesto napravio..od te djevojke..i to nesto takvo..je odlicna..ok, original je extra, nema sta..ali je trebalo i od toga napraviti takvo nesto. Neeeemoj da budes skroman
Jesi, uradio si, i to mnogo!
Tako da..TISINA
AUH, pa i galamim

...a i dalje mislim da je teΕΎe bilo uhvatiti emociju one male kineskinje nego pretvoriti je u androida...

bla bla bla pazi ga sto je kao ovo ono
Nije bilo teze jer ona ima takav pogled..jbt..to je stvar biti na pravom mejstu u pravo vrijeme..kao i uvijek..ali ako ti mislis tako..onda ok..i ne tapkam te po ramenu..uopste..samo se izjasnjavam i iznosim svoje misljenje nevezano za tebe!!

You totally upped the intensity of the mood of the photograph, the child in the photo looks maybe a little sad, a little lost - but this robot character looks really desolate, the blurred background makes him seem more alone. Very spooky looking, reminded me a bit of Alien Nation.

Thank you for this great comment.
I wish more people could take their time and think about the piece in front of them, and leave such deliberative comments.
Thanks hon

Well I can only imagine how much work you put in, so 'wow, cool' doesn't really cut it. (And I always have something to say, the art here just astounds me)
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually it could use some more work, but I simply don't have the time for it...
All my work lacks that final polish, but since I'm not really an artist, I think it's good enough...
Thanks again...

Yeah right! Well that's what development is all about and it only comes from practice. I should know, I never do
π: 0 β©: 1
No, really.
I've never read a book about art, I was never taught about colour harmonies, nor composition, everything I do I do it the way I feel it needs to be done.
I'm not really an artist, I am just a hobby artist.

I don't no anything about photomanipulation, but this is very evokative.

Again, I don't understand... evokes....what?

This really shows his pain...I like it "fav" I really think you did a good job with this.

Thank you, I almost forgot about this one... I'll work on it a little more when I find time...
BTW how did you found out about my page? Was I featured somewhere?

You know what, I really like this concept and the overall image itself. I would have done the background differently but I'm not saying there's anything wrong with yours. The only thing that I would say might deserve a change is the mouth. It looks more human than the rest of the robot. I might have given it a bit more gloss or reflection or something to make it look less like human skin. Still really cool though.

Lol
There are lots of things that need mending!
But I kinda waited a long time for a permission to use =avotius ' pic, and it was waiting unfinished in the corner of my hard drive... until I lost inspiration...
That happens to all of my work to be honest...
If I don't finish it in one bite, it will never be finished...
...
Thanks for your visit!

this is beautiful and sad. at first i was going to say he should be more shiny to look more like a robot, but i like how his skintone is soft. the fact that you used a child for this makes it more touching.
