Robot (C&C please)

[Rohn]

I'm new to the site, and I was wondering if someone might have some c&c for a piece I'm working on.  Hope you can help me out!



Please keep in mind that it's one of my first, and still a work in progress.  Thanks!

Now about yours :
- Lack of contrast and volume
- Use of dithering (metal + dithering = bad)
- Hideous background color (I suggest gray #666666 not to screw up your color choices)
- The design could use some more thinking too. Robots are rarely spherical blocs : keep in mind it was actually MADE with PIECES.

Good luck ^^
