many know him as The Collector a odd bot that traverses the post apocalyptic wastelands collecting bits and bobs to imbed into and onto himself/itself, a very unfriendly and unforgiving bot, especially if you come in-between him/it and his/it's collection. In pursuit of perfection some say but who could clam to know the mind of such an oddity, all that matters is the rule of the wastes and that's don't approach him/it or any loot near him/it. Please note.... he/it is faster and deadlier then he/it looks stay safe out there scavs. this is my fist Proko challenge hope you like it.

Delightful! The color scheme and lighting choices are very nice.

I like this a lot! Very odd and good shape design-- also well done on the specular lighting!

Hello! I'm an art student studying illustration, who is at the relative beginning of their journey. I'm am learning oil painting outside of school at this moment, and I found your video to be quite good! The non-solvent gel seems to be worth a try specifically. Also, I'm in a public speaking class at the moment and I have to say your delivery and hand gestures during the video were fantastic (as well as the way you structured it). That's besides the whole art point but it was a well done video. The oil work I've done to this point has been mostly studies so I won't fling anything at you quite yet-- but when I get something I'm proud of I'll certainly send it your way. Regardless, I'm excited to see what content you put out in the future and will certainly follow you to keep updated!

Thanks Liam! I would love to see your studies and help you all that I can. I've been painting in oil all my life so I feel like at this point I know a thing or two ;p Regardless I'm here to help.

Hello! I think your process isn't bad in anyways, just if you do the big things, to remember to come back to the small ones later. One thing that I've found quite helpful to me, is when I get to the final stages of a picture I'll make a list of what I want to work on in order. This is so I don't forget anything, and also so I have confidence when working in an area, knowing I'll get to the next one. I think there is still great value in doing the cycles things, just making it your own cycle (you don't always have to start with the head and work down). On that note I tend to start on the area that is the simplest, as it will warm me up before I tackle more difficult areas. For critique on the drawing itself, I think you did a fantastic job capturing the proportion and your blending out of the shadows into the halftone really captures form! I'd just make sure to continue that blending as the shadow turns over to reflected light. Although there is great merit in simple shadow statements so it all really depends on what you're going for! Very good job!
