Nice!
Did you try moving the prosthetic further up her arm? Also to me, at least, the machinery seems to be sort-of just stuck there; I can't quite put my finger on why...maybe attaching the straps further back would give it a more cohesive feel?

author says:

The mechanical hand is exactly where her original hand was, that is where it looked best. Also it is difficult to make the straps join the tank as the harness needs to be tight against her body to be realistic. In this position you wouldn't be able to see them join on the tank. Thanks for your comment.

kcinsti says:

Ah! I think I've figured out what doesn't look right to me..the actual position of the machine...I think that, from the viewer's point of view, it might look more natural moved left and rotated clockwise slightly.

I always say Waz, if you are going to use a model then you may as well use a sexy one.

Nice image and great idea and execution on the whole thing.

Regarding the background factory stock, there are rules for offsite usage that require written permission from the owner. Just checking if you got permission.

"Angelrat-Stock images may only be used on deviantART. If you wish to use Angelrat-Stock images somewhere other than deviantART, you must request and recieve written permission before you use the images."

author says:

Angelrat-Stock's last journal entry states:-
"I am no longer active here ... I really don't read messages or notes anymore so if I don't respond ... that's why.
Use what's here ... no need to let me know ... you can still post what you have used here and I'll have a look and add to favs when I find the time. I still enjoy looking at what's been done with my crap.
Just enjoy your art... peace ... Angelrat-Stock (Feb. 21, 2009)"
That infers that permission is already given.

Moderator says:

As written in the response above the DA author has stated they are no longer active and added "Use what's here ... no need to let me know ... ". This does indicate that permission or contact is no longer required and we will accept that as written.

kcinsti says:

Author, I got burned by DA rules recently when I used a pic and contacted the author for permission but they never got back to me; so I've started a bookmark folder of DA stock suppliers who only require a credit, not permission, to use any of their work.

Well done, a fine example of Steampunk! I can see you like the subject!
@kcinsti- DA does have many fine images but the authors often have complex rules. Good idea to keep a list of the easy to use authors. Remember also to check DA sources closely, some images may be chopped and that's not always clear also don't use "premade" backgrounds or images, those are most always chopped works.

I changed my last work alot and this is the result , I wanted to add it as an independent work but moderators removed it as duplication and honestly I don't know why because it is totally different from the other.
but there it goes guys , hope you enjoy it.

special thanks to CMYK46 and Drivenslush.



thanks to Kriss Szkurlatowski , COFFY | MOTIONDESIGN & mqtrf for their nice photos and permitting me to use as resource (5 years and 2622 days ago)

Good idea, but a bit sloppy, especially with the front windows. Might be better to crop the foreground of the ocean source so it doesn't look like the ship is running aground.

author says:

thank you CMYK46 for your comment , could you please specifically tell me the fails?
the waves are used from another image and honestly I don't like them too ! but I am not a pro so...I guess I need some help and guidance

avatar Drivenslush

going through the image with a blur brush over the rough edges would really help (high res visual).. (print version would probably turn out okay, but in a digital setting everything will show... thinking about the agitation that would happen to the surrounding edges would be helpful as well

the overall image is very fun and interesting.. half the battle, you need to just take a step back and say "what can I do to make this even better".. (in all honesty it is very well done) especially when it comes from your heart

Good luck and be happy.. just always remember there is room for improvement

author says:

thank you very much Drivenslush

having your courageous words as comment really motivates me ... its nice of you

I don't know that how much time is left for correction ,on the other side I am busy right now so Its kinda hard for me to put all I have , But I will try and use your opinion to make it better
please tell me more so that I can learn more

also , I will use your words on my future works , it really makes sense and you are quite right about it
thanks again
