Weekly Photoshop assignment - Robots!

Here i found various artists and designs that really gave me some great ideas. I liked the idea of an industrial styled robot, used for helping man with daily tasks. Junkyard robot? JCB Machine?


While searches the net for inspiration and ideas i found a great artist called Anthony Jones. He has a great style that is so clean and crisp, the detail and tones really do make it stand out. Stunning composition and really good use of the colour white ha. Something like this would be what i would love to do for my final piece, but hey we'll see.

First off i started designing robot parts and different designs, like i stated above i liked the idea of an industrial robot used by humans or for humans. One of my man ideas was a giant machine used to pick up 'junk' by having a hydraulic arms.On the other page i also decided to try doing Anthony Jones styled robot, futuristic and clean mechanical design.
Here are various silhouettes that i touched up and designed to help me decide the overall shape and to help me choose what was more of a solid design.
I wasn't too happy with the final result, the lighting and shadows are weak and could of worked much more on the composition. Lowering the horizon line and lowering the camera to look up to the robot would of maybe made him actually look giant. Figureing out more detail and other designs that could go on top would of help too, where it stands the current design is bland, plain and in the future i must remember to add more imperfections and detail.
