Hi guys. Long time no see.
This is well beyond any conceivable deadline, so I do not expect it to be counted among the entries. However, I've just started my first real holiday in over two years, so to kick it off I thought I'd throw in some messily sketched nostalgia. I haven't drawn anything in over half a year so I'm pretty rusty lol
I wonder how many users even remember the Way of Moderation... perhaps Hectic will. They might realise this is the most detail with which I've ever bothered to draw our spaminator of old, Flipski.
If it's not displaying properly just click the image. I suspect Photobucket scaled it down, though.
With all the entries this round and the limits on my time I find it was tough to thoroughly judge each piece
So here we go.
Zophia
While an excellent piece I do not think it fits the theme greatly. I think that it looks too much like an insect even with the description of the Auto bug the exoskeleton could be just that without being robotic, the flower and tree sapling are really biological looking and it for me doesnt fit the mechanical idea of a robot.
Cenere
I know that I am missing something in the phrase, though given that it seems to be more of a ghost than a machine to me that throws it way into left field. Perhaps I would understand it better if I read the book but sadly I have not.

With the lack of a 3rd dimension this seems to project to me something of a movie reel machine more than a robot, I would suggest finding a better perspective or add a bit more detail.
Stormwalker
I would call this a quick sketch at best, the lack of consistancy in the main subject and the sparse level of detail would make it seem like something that was done quickly.

While I think the line art is good it could be improved by having more contrasting colors and forming a difference between the background and line are. I assume you wanted to model a human skeleton for the machine.But I would suggest trying to go beyond bones and add in some more levels to that reference, synthetic muscle would be interesting. Even connect the bones with some sort of binding. it just seems the structure is in pieces.
Arm_Candy
A classic robot shape though I do not understand why it seems he is melting. Normally when I think of melting metal it is hot and vibrant in color but there are ways to dissolve metals such as acid. But besides the theme I think it is pretty good You might want to look into a bit of lighting techniques to add more depth to the drawing.
akshobhya
Its a good robot/jukebox mix and the colors are vibrant I would like to see this developed more by taking it even further beyond using simple shapes and fills. I do not know if you have access to tools beyond a mouse But I can tell you that if you do not you might want to find out how to draw things with a mouse. I am sure there are methods of going beyond simple shapes.

The texture is an excellent shiny metal, I like that you tried to include curves with the shape. Though you might want to work on your shadows and lighting a bit. the shadow on the ground isnt reflective of the highlights on the body.
kegaumongo
A lovely little robot, I don't know if its the influence of The Wizard of Oz with the tin man but a lot of robots need hearts and brains , I am sure you were trying to go for a paper cutout style but even so I would like to see a bit more shadows, that backgorund makes me feel like i need sunglasses
koshionos
High-speed robot ant? I like it but it seems a little unpolished, you could clean up the lines and add a bit more detail with textures
mrdaycee
Nice references to the starwars stuff that is going on currently the only real problem is the copy pasted background and foregrounds :P
Pickpocket
Was this inspired by the latest avengers movie? Anyways its a good cyborg though you might want to practice drawing more mechanical things, look at things like engines and machines to get a better idea on how mechanical things move and connect.
ChromeDeathRazor
Out of all of the drawing I think this one had the best theme, or at least presented it in a way that didn't use simplified symbols. With a bit more sharpness to the robots details and a less hastily added background this could be a well made drawing.
Winner
weirdlike
So now we are down to the duckbot 9000 :P, I give you the award for the most detailed/mechanical looking drawing but you lose points for a bad background and lack of lighting effects.
So Weirdlike can choose a theme but I have a new idea to stir up trouble and test your grit. Those who use 3d modelling in the next round will receive extra kudos towards the winners slot. I think that this should even the playing field a bit given the return of Cenere, Zophia, and Strop are discouraging a few folks. Good luck and I recommend using Blender for those who want something free and with plenty of documentation/tutorials. Lets see whose has the best skills by the end of the round .
