Good work with the arms and legs. Definitely gives it a more futuristic look.

Chathura, i plan on adding more wires soon, and i plan to learn dynamics to make them move witht he model.

I finished up all the arms and legs and not just adding minor details. Although before the arms were made in the style of the hands, the body in the style of the arms, the legs in the style of the arms, the feet in the style of the hands, and the head in the style of the body.

Now i redid the arms and the legs so the body and head dont look right...

Although i think i found a way to correct this by going back to my original concept and working on it.

Hay twisted still going alone nice. Sticking to the original concept at first is sometimes hard. You draw them out, they look nice. But you find that they only looked good at that one angle. when you get them in 3d your like oh crap.. dosn't look as good. LOL but I'v found its really inproved my 2d drawing skills though.

Added more to the torso. Its hard to really define much shape because its so clear. But i might smooth it out a little. Right now it looks similar to the upper body of a male.

I kinda like the brightness because i plan to add some particles to it that will glow almost as brightly, so when they move it will hve a nice trail... bright means powerful in my opinion user added image

New head like object thing... Yeah.

I think i might inset the eyes behind the blue glass thing. give it a better look.

I was also thinking of going a "through the eyes of the robot" view for a few frames. I sketched out some things and i think i could do it in photoshop even though i have dont have much experience with it.
