I have to re-iterate Soren’s comments.

It’s always nice to be reminded that I have mildly creepy fanboys too.

   This looks like every other Sophie Mecha, except there’s less color going on than usual. You’ve never been into multiple color schemes really, sticking to good ole color & Neutral. But in all black, most of the details and sense of armor vs. equipment is lost.

As for the form, it too is mediocre. You’ve done much better. This one seems less biomechanical than most, less creepy. The hands are a cop out- were you on a required timeline?

Ahem. You’re not exactly making these statements from a lofty pinnacle of expertise now are you? Whatever the flaws of the Black Bear (and they are legion, believe me), it does at least have joints placed roughly such that it appears capable of locomotion.

Then again, offering “expert” opinions on things like this does seem to be your niche. Perhaps I spoke too soon.

I’m down with smacking e around, but it’s much funnier when it’s not a blatant pile-on after someone else has done the heavy hitting. Still not over the fact that he had a spat with your CSF buddies? At least have the balls to jump on the guy yourself, rather than hiding behind my post.

   I really want to have something nice to say as well, and if it were another builder I could. But this is a real back-down from your usual work. I’ve seen you build your own joints, tile or slope away every stud, creative use of weird pieces. But not this time.

I liked you better when you went by Adrian Drake and delivered more concise and biting smack. Baiting the mentally unstable is only funny when done well, kids.

   Good luck trying to sell it.

Nice jab, but living in a hippie college town, I’ve discovered that some people will buy anything labeled art and priced over a hundred, especially if it’s “quirky”.
