Well, I gave him a role as a gardener. This was mainly because I wanted to see a robot wearing a straw hat. Any crits appreciated. Yes, I threw in a crappy gradient instead of doing a real background. Sue me.
Edit: Added some darker dars and lighter lights, and tried to fix the legs, but I don't think I did.

most of my stuff doesn't have backgrounds, either. HOWEVER I will say that if you aren't going to use a background, a plain colour, preferably something sort of neutral, is best. Don't use a gradient, it distracts from the art. For this one, a plain green backdrop would have worked fine. :)
An noble cause!
He needs to be shinier, I think, to show he's made of metal! Putting his feet on different planes would help the perspective too, as would *some* indication of a background, even just a cast shadow. I won't complain about lack of background though

This guy was cool before, but now he's just awesome.
I'd still say that he needs darker darks and lighter lights, though. Let him shine as the shiny gardener robot he was made to be!

i really like the soft coloring used and the use of shapes as oppased to lines. It could use different textures for things though, the straw hat, the wood, and the metal all seem to be made out really similar materials manufactured in different ways.
), the right leg and foot seem to be going in different directions. Concentrate on making the kneecap and the foot point in a more similar direction, and I think that'll help. And his left leg turn a little toward the veiwer and that'll cause that leg to be going in the same direction as the rest of his body.
With regards to perspective, the gardener's right hand is working the best (I like his little fingers
Overall, nice job.

S'all good man.
Gradient backgrounds, for the win!
Great to see this design moving, though! Even if it is gardening.
It's been said before, but lights lighter and darks darker. You've got the highlights awesome on the arms, but I don't think the darks are quite pushed far enough. Also, just from lightsource, I think there'd be a little more lighting on his torso and shoulderpads, as well as his fingers. Especially his fingers, because they're kinda melding with his torso and I freakin' loved that design, so don't lose it! Shadows could totally help those fingers pop out. I would also add a bit more shadow to the hoe, especially the stick part of it.

Aww, he's cute with his little hat
I really like the lighting, but I think it needs to be darkened up around his calves a little more. Love the way you did his hands and fingers too!

I love this one
i agrea with everyone else about having some value, but i think you just need some more darks mostly, i love how you did the highlights on the silver/grey parts, and his eyes
great pic!

"...and while most other robots were built for assembly lines or combat, X-637 was much more content tending gardens."
the handle of the hoe is too thick near the head and i think sharp metallic shading and highlights would make his armor really realistic.
still, gotta love the idea. planning on drawing other robots with unusual jobs?

Very nice digital painting. :)
