Greeting board dwellers and lurkers both. Seeing as it is the summer holidays, my 1st constructed has been filling his time with lots of nonsense. During this though he had produced this piece of 2000ad inspired eye candy.
He's allowed me to post it here, in order for the hive mind to evaluate his abilities and give him some feedback.
This was produced entirely in paint, working from reference images.

Splendid work Mini-Bolt, I think you should arrange for your constructor to take you to see the new Spiderman film for more reference followed by a lube break, and stoking session at a Roboaurant of your choice. All as a reward for some Scrotnig work.

I agree with all sentiments expressed thus far, and humbly add my own observation...

Good work!

A great big fight scene? Robots vs monkeys?
Seriously, after helping in judging Byron's comics contest last night, this is highpowered work, keep it up.
And thank god you didn't draw a snail.

It helps that his art room at school has an enormous Glenn Fabry Dredd on the wall too. And his teacher actively encourages experimentation too. Not on animals though.

Eight, you say? This is worrying. I suggest behaviour modification to steer him well away from the arts- before he starts taking the money right out of my wallet!
