Love where this is going. Spreading some of that blue light across would really add to the scene.

I appreciate your valuable comments guys! This is continuous learning.

Made little changes. Actually ambient occlusion and metal renders were somehow moved inside PS, maybe that caused weirdness of shadows. I also spread blue light a little bit. What do you think now?

I'm not a huge fan of the environment. I think it could be more dramatic or on a less-busy backplate so the mech pops off of it better. Another option is to decrease the depth of field so your backplate/background is blurred and thus allowing you to focus on the subject. Also, you could use the image as an image pin in the HDRI and that way some of the metallic surfaces will pick up the reflections, color light etc. Maybe a bit more contrast too with the highlights?

Gnarly model. Really love it. Is the model your work?

Excited to see where it goes.

Also, check this out. Here's a pretty detailed step-by-step tutorial of how this artist really took advantage of most of the features in KS to create a very nice rendering of a robot.

Thank you for your suggestions. Can you clarify a little bit what do you mean by image pin?

Yes, the model is mine.

Yes, the blue light is giving it a deeper feel.

Cool model for sure. The first image looked like a cut and paste, the second one to have the bot is starting to feel like its there. I would push this even more. Maybe a ies light to create some dramatic shadows...etc Add a little atmosphere over the whole things to really bring it together.
Love you you are doing just keep pushing yourself.
Thanks for sharing
