Here is my robot. I am brand new to Maya so it is very simple, even though it took me nearly 2 hours to make. I tried and tried to render it so the black-colored items had shadows (like they do in the render window) but no matter what, when I save it to JPG they are pitch black 🙁
idk whether it was intentional, but your character looks like a pokemon. Really cool shape with just a few primitive geometry. and the background made the character really stand out
