Very cool. I wouldn't want to run into this robot on a dark night... look at those "eyes". Very menacing.

Thanks, that's interesting. When I was doing the piece, I wasn't thinking of the robot being aggressive or scary - more designed for construction or heavy engineering work, like a high-tech piece of earthmoving equipment (hence the yellow colour scheme). But I do see what you mean about the eyes.

Holy cow, that igmage looks amazing, the amount of detail in this pic is mind blowing awesome. Great work, really great work.

Thanks! Quite a bit of the detail is from photographs - I took several pictures of the engine of a friend's car, and a lot of it ended up in the robot's torso section. I had to paint over it a lot to blend it in with the purely imaginary elements, but it still wasn't as much work as it might look.
Similarly, the mechanic started as a photo of myself I had my wife take specially for this picture.
