Description
Androids on the edge, abandoned in a toxic environment and wondering where their next power supply boost will come from...
I created this image nearly a year ago and the androids have been languishing on my hard drive without hope of rescue, until I discovered them while doing a HDD clear out (I trashed over 50 GB of unused files).
Vue 11 Infinite, no post work except signature (Photoshop CS6).
I'm busy struggling with a new render, which so far has crashed about twelve times during rendering in Vue. Not sure how long I'll persevere...

It's absolutely gorgeous !
That's pretty cool, Craig. ")
Fantastic image!
Excellent image Craig...love the subtle colour palette,bet those transparent materials took a while to render!
I love this piece, if this is the quality you have hiding on the HDD I would hate to think what you got rid of in trashing 50gb of files. Nice idea.
Really beautiful color palette, the transparent materials and subtle tonal shading of the background make this a spectacular work of art.
Exceptional!
I understand quite well. I have a great purge at least once a year as well. Neat looking androids.
You come up with the most amazing, creative ideas! I never would have thought of transparent androids, although there's absolutely no reason not to. :P Good stuff!
Fascinating, very well done
Excellent idea my friend, marvelous colors and transparency, amazing concept!
Great job!
Very cool image! Superbly done!
Nice idea!
fantastic atmo and awesome androids!!!!!!!!
I love pieces like this, because they're 'variations on a theme'---ie, how many variations can you create on the human form? And variations like these are subtle rather than blatant---ie, instead of having two heads, 4 eyes, etc, you used the basic human structure, but altered it as a designer would, with subtleties and finesse. I love the blues, heaviest at the joints but also flowing between them. It's a kind of slate-blue, subtle. (You're not going for big effects here, which makes this very delicate.) A lot of the spinal-muscular features (neural, tendons, whatever we're seeing) are close to human features, but you have wonderfully stylized variations of them: The vertebrae look like what vertebrae would look like if designed by a fine designer, getting rid of a lot of the imperfections, and using a material far less prone to decay---and easier to replace. Kind of "this is how they SHOULD have been made," with "lips" that each socket hooks into. And the breastplate and lungs are almost "bows," with two pieces coming down quite gracefully, as in a tied-bow. And certainly less complex than the rib cage. And they're transparent---which is always fun (Tara got a big kick out of it!)---and very gracefully so. I keep coming back to "subtle" and "finessed". Those are features in you, and I love how they manifest themselves in pieces like this. The droids move and stand like they've studied ballet or modern dance. The androids I've seen often have rickety machine-like parts, with mixtures of animal and insect parts woven in. This is sheerly human, and your variation is subtle and beautiful. It would be great to see a book of these, one variation after the next, with your knowledge brought to artistic use, image after image. It strikes me how you turn some of your knowledge into art, again and again. A delicate beautiful pair. Bathed in a deep yellow light...
