Well now miss V! nicely done. My word of advice would just be to watch the legs, they seem to be getting away from you a little bit. But other than that I dig your ideas a lot. Especially on Tin Man. It's a cool take on the retro bot idea. Now... post more.

Peace,
-Daniel

thanks for your nice words daniel, and the advice. hope florida is nice

Wow, great stuff! Absolutely lovely. Glad to see some people pushing the boundaries a little. As was already said, your legs are a little off now and then. Thanks for the mini-progress thing too. Looking forward to more!

nice sketchbook! DIggin the unique style really much! Hmm I don't know if it'S done on purpose but sometimes the proportions of your figures seem to be a bit off.

Wanna see some more of your stuff, so keep on updating!!

Still, awesome work!
