    Robokingkong!

    Last mecha drawing for now. This time it's Robokingkong. And Robokingkong will have his revenge on nasty planes. Muahahaa!



    Thanks for looking!

    I don't know what to say man.. the detail on the city is breathtaking and I can't find a thing to criticize.. and if there was I wouldn't want to find it because this whole piece is perfect!

      Cool design, love the strong silhouette and the warm vs. cool colors. Some secondary backlighting on Robokong woulda been kinda cool.

          Your cityscape is beautiful but, you need to pay more attention to scale and proportion. Kong climbed the single tallest man made structure the world had ever known. This building is no taller than hundreds of others and actually shorter than some. Gorillas have huge heads, here the head borders on tiny. But, day-um, that's a beautiful city.

          ....edit......

          NOT suggesting a redo!!!!! Just some things to think on. Dropping the city below the horizon changes Kong's building from average to huge. Increasing the proportion of the head increases his similarity to an actual ape. Alternately, you could leave the head off entirely with a pole extruding from the neck holding a glowing ping pong ball sized orb to maximize the robot idea. With tiny head he seems more like RoboOliver the chimp.

                  Love this pic, Viktor! Your stuff just keeps getting better and better! And the detail is just amazing.

                  I do agree with Smitty about the horizon-line and the Empire State Bldg. being the tallest building in Manhattan at that time. I think your already amazing picture would be even cooler with either a 3 point perspective or a curvilinear fish-eye perspective with the building Robokong is standing on and everything below sort of curving away at a precipitous angle to really give it a sense of height.

                    @Bozzilla

                    Hey, Danke!


                    @Electronick

                    Thanks for the suggestions. I already deleted the psd-file but at least I managed to add some red glow on his face (from his left hand).


                    @cbikle

                    Thanks a lot!


                    @Smitty

                    Thanks, man! Lower the city below the horizon? Why didn't I think of that? It would've saved me a lot of work. And it really does change the proportions a lot. Good call!

                    Not a fan of the big head though. He looks like a huge baby to me. Come to think of it: An actual gorilla head would've been cool too.

                    Thanks again!


                    @Red Fox

                    Thank you, Sir!


                    @choppic

                    It took me about 2-3 hours to draw Kong and the planes and then another 13 hours to draw and color the background. Lol. I'm so sick of windows now.


                    @dxdragon

                    I'll think about it. Not sure about the copyright though. The King Kong reference is obvious so I might get sued for selling prints.

                    ...

                    ...

                    ...Let's do it!


                    @scmarooney

                    Thanks, man! I really appreciate the support. I aggree with the horizon line and perspective thing. It would have been a better choice. I'll keep it in mind for next time.

                              Did you use any photos for reference?
                              Pencil sketch then ink? Or pencil sketch then color over it without inking?
                              Sorry for asking too much questions. I'm working on a similar project right now and I really like how you draw the city in this piece
