its looking great though. just for fun a totally black & white (& grey) version might be nice.

This is what I had imagined too, with the cityscape in the background

Still looks fantastic!

Ond:
Thanks Guys, while the cab design in terms of geometry and construction are pretty well locked in, I'm happy to let the artwork take shape with feedback from you. For those that aren't thrilled with the theme in general, my thinking is once the contruction details and this theme are posted, I'll consider at least one other quite different theme to release as well.

For those interested in the Metropolis theme I have a revised version in my head along the lines of suggestions to date.

Paintwork: dark grey and black
T-molding and controls: White

Artwork:

Primarily, shades of grey, black and a revised Maria Robot (I can't keep calling her "the false Maria" :P ) with a less cartoony look i.e. more metal shine etc. The one splash of colour here and there will be red. So Grey, Black, Silver, White and Red. I still want to aim for an art deco look overall if I can.

Cityscape in the backround for sure. You guy's realise I have to draw up those buildings??? :lol Captured stills from the movie or poster art etc are not good enough. It's ok I enjoy it and wouldn't be doing it otherwise, but my hands can only work so fast. The robot in the draft artwork is not all my own. I downloaded a 3D model (for a small price) rather than draw that from scratch. The author of the model had a modernized version of the face I didn't like so I redid that to match the original from the film.

The other idea I had for artwork was to have two versions of the side art. The left side with the robot in front of cityscape and the right side with the 'transformed robot' looking like the real Maria in exactly the same pose. It's got the whole duality thing going on if you're with me.

More soon, that concept model on page 1 will be like a shop mannequin with a few changes of wardrobe to come till we nail it. Metaphorically speaking :lol

yotsuya:
I like the sound of the changes. Given that it's a b&w silent classic, I think the dark colors would work better.

Le Chuck:
All the loading screens and should be dialog cards written in Deutch. That'd be pimp.
