Reviews for "First Boot"

Wish the lighting was more dramatic. I think having the glow of the monitors and the darkness of the room woulda made for a more interesting composition. GOSH Vegum, what were you thinking

Havegum responds:

Definitely a missed opertunity there! I'll mark this up as another argument for doing preliminary studies and thumbnails!

Perspective is really nice. not a big fan of all the pink colours... but it works :)

Havegum responds:

I thought pink was suitable for the theme, but I think I coulda done a better job of incorporating in to the different parts - especially for the robots plates

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words?


I can imagine something like this being an animated series of sortsw

Havegum responds:

Thanks! I'm glad the "story" comes across!

I love the level of detail you used while still keeping it "rough", kinda ... "alive". Sorry I don't know how to express it any better. My fave is probably the USB plug. Overall I am a huge fan of the robots backhead. It's obvious they are mechanical parts, but they could as well be organic if you squint at them for a second or two. The perspective works really really well. I'd almost like to peek around the robot to see what the face looks like. The background is spectacularly interesting without taking attention away from the girl and the robot, nice job on that! My only two little complaints are the head of the girl which seems a bit huge and like Cairos said, the floor around her. While I didn't consider spare parts when I first saw it, he is of course right about it. My initial thought however was some sort of scattered cords leading from the keyboards and so on to the robot. I know it is there, but it's too thin, orderly and not very prominent.

Nevertheless, I think you came up with a cool concept and did a splendid job drawing it. The title is a good addition too.

Great work!

Havegum responds:

Thanks man!
There's definitely some conceptual and compositional issues to be resolved. Like maybe she doesn't need a wall of servers back in the hallway and it would be more sensible to have equipment to make or modify the physical parts that goes on the robot?
Again - thanks for the feedback!

I really like the detail you put into your environment. It is spectacular. The girl however looks like she needed a bit more attention. Very well done Gum.

Havegum responds:

Thanks! I think in the end I put too much time and consideration into the background elements compared to what was supposed to be the main subjects!
