And another automaton

[ffutures]

This one's a Ford automaton of 1900 or thereabouts. Powered by compressed air (from a hose), has a rotating fitting for drills, saws, etc. as one hand and a gripper for the other. Dumb, easily panicked ("Where are the bolts? Where are the bolts?!"), I think it maybe looks a little too modern, so comments please.

I've updated the robot porter picture from my last post too, if anyone wants to take another look at that.

The porter is now much improved, but I think you need to practice your feathering on both that and this, to get rid of the haloes on the foreground elements. To make it less modern, how about some more riveted strips, going vertically down the body, like the one around the 'neck'?

I've tried feathering, if anything it seemed to make things worse, and I'm beginning to think that another paint package may be the solution. This is a fairly elderly release of PaintShop pro and does seem to be showing its age.

I use Photoshop. The trick seems to be feather in, not out, if that makes any sense.
