this image is not primarily about the two robots.
it would be too much to say that there's a complex story hidden in the context of this image. there is however a certain feeling i was going for. it's probably too hard for me to explain with words, so i better let it speak for itself.

this one took me quite a while since i'm now sort of busy with university, learning maya, making weird movies and traveling here and there with blender in my backpack.
the mountains were made from a plane with sculpt mode with a simple normal map material, just like the snow.

enjoy!
