Picking at this again - does anyone have any colour/lighting advice?

I'm getting to the official

laid-down-the-colours-and-i-have-to-start-refinining-things-hump that I suaully never get past :'D

I always live in perpetual fear of not-knowing-anyhtng-about-colour becasue of all those times when i was younger that I realised I was using WAY TOO MUCH grey for years without ever noticing....

Probably what I would do at this point is take that light cream/yellow in your bg and start going over some of your highlights with a low opacity brush

Just to get some of that reflected color on the surfaces

mm yeah that's a good idea

Pick a focal point any make that area have the most contrast. Right now it's kind of flat

Darken/desaturate the rest slightly Aaaand Id reccommend making the shadows cooler since the highlights/bg is warm

ALSO. The selection tool is your friend for robots. So like if you're airbrushing the chest piece, select it so that it creates a sharp edge between playes

Plates

Thank you for this advice

god, yeah I really need to learn to use the selction ool more

The selection tool is magic

Glad to help

Wow that's really PA have this smiley instead
