At long last! Until I inevitably give it another pass...
Here is my latest. I mentioned in an earlier post that planning can make everything easier, and that is forever true.

Great job, man. I especially love the way the reflections in the robot's eye are handled.

Super frustrating. But glad to see the process helped this one turn out quite nicely!
