Description
I decided to mess with the colours a bit more, after a critique by:Mostly it's the background that's been changed here, mostly to give it a more defined shape and make it more like mountains -- originally I was trying to use the shape of Pluto to evoke the volcano that plays a major part in the plotline of the original Manga.
I hate tweaking colours -- I end up despising them as a result and my eyes start to get bleary and I stop being able to see if I've made a positive or a negative difference.
It's one of those things -- some people's brains are more wired for colour than others. I CAN do colouring, sure, but I prefer to leave it to others who can spend the time on the detail.
Anyway... what I'm getting at is I have no idea if this is actually an improvement!

Have you by any chance, heard of Naoki Urasawa's reinterpretation of this story in astro boy? Its one of the best manga I've ever read, and certainly worth looking at. I love this piece, by the way! I especially love Pluto's expression!

I remember seeing this same robot in an episode of the 1980 Astro Boy that I watched on YouTube. He went under the name Bruton in that.

Yeah -- Bruton is the English name used in the 80s cartoon. It's actually the name I grew up with, but I prefer the names used in the Darkhorse Manga Translations -- especially the name Pluto. I just like the whole god-of-death connotation that Pluto has.
--Boltax.
(Especially since the classical Pluto is kinda not-quite-a-bad-guy too.)

Actually, the background change is fantastic now! The shapes look more like earth masses in the background; FANTASTIC edit, man.(upon further study- you cleaned up some of the color spills!).
The image was great before- but it looks even better now. I'm loving the mood that the new background adds to the piece!
