hello everyone, just thought i'd post this WIP of my mech. it's been a long time since i made something in maya (thank my class schedule for that), but i'm back on track. comments and criticisms please.. plus some BIG help regarding that black outline around my character. i dunno why that's there.. i did play around with some cartoon shaders, but i deleted them from the hypershade. any other possible cause for this problem? it's bugging me pretty bad.

thanks everyone!
