Thanks!

Good, at least that part I got right even before the image is finished! :-)

The idea is simply that the robot carries it's treasure along with him 
in a chest, attached to a chain on his breat-plate. As for the fiery 
pit, I'm not sure that it'll stay that way, but the basic idea is that 
the treasure is pulling him down (not yet visualized on the model, but 
the breast-plate will be straining and maybe even tearing apart under 
the stress) while he wants to get up onto the ledge. He can't really let 
go of the treasure (hence the hand on the chain), but it doesn't look 
like it'll do him any good to hang onto it (the "fiery pit" could also 
just be replaced with a deep chasm or something, for now, it's just to 
set different lighting conditions for contrast). It's a *really* early 
WIP, something I usually don't show here that often (because of the vast 
unrecognizable and/or subject-to-change parts).

I'll keep you updated on major changes. :-)
