So, I've read somewhere here that someone somewhere else wanted that all 
the folks here to just show what they're working on, even if it's 
somehow far from being finished... ;-)

Anyways, since I've had a long streak of no inspiration and finally got 
one, I've begun working on it right away. It's a little tedious, as I 
have to get used to the new Silo (my subdivision surface modeller of 
choice) Beta, and I haven't used POV-Ray to this extent for some time 
now. I've made a couple of commissions, but mostly, that was tweaking 
existing scenes, not starting a wholly new one.

This is the robot as it is right now. I'm still working on just about 
all the parts, but have begun scripting the skeleton, so that I just 
need to define angles to bend and twist the body parts. I'm not striving 
for realism, but rather just a simple robotish feel. A fundamental (but 
not yet visible) part of the image is an idea from a close friend of 
mine (that's also where the robot idea stems from).

Even though it doesn't look like it, the final image will be much more 
dramatic than this nice "sunny day" version, I'll probably post another 
WIP when I'm posing the robot.

Regards,
Tim
