    Looks a great tut, the shine on the robot looks cool.

  2. Jonathan says:

    Very cool. I like the plume of debris.

  3. Aaron Miller says:

    Doesn’t look all that great to be honest, the final image has a really awkward crop, and bad choice of colours. I agree with Max, the shine looks good though

  4. Very nice plus tutorial, thanks.

    Keep them up. :)

  5. Maurizio says:

    I have to say that except from the robot the rest of the composition is not that impressive…

  6. Roctopus says:

    Hey thanks for the comments :)

    I cover a few techniques in this tut including:-
    Gradients
    Clipping masks
    The Blend tool
    and Gradient opacity masks for the soft edged smoke clouds

    I do have other illustrations on my FLICKR page and Website with different colours, crops and compositions :) ))
