Both characters are looking very good - the man has a lot of expression in his face and it looks like these will both be fun to work with.
Sorry I can't help with your lighting and 'tesla coil' issues!

BTW Arran, the OZ stories definitely had some brilliant mechanical characters. I guess mechanical men were all the rage circa 1900!
Anyway, here's another pic of "Heinrich" doing a "buck and wing" from what is going to be my demo reel. I had somewhat better luck on the lighting, but there is STILL room for major improvement. I suppose I'd better start looking for books on lighting. Any suggestions? I will post the finished animation when it's done!
