BEFORE:
My initial silhouette didn't emphasize the handshake enough nor the roughness of the wild side of my character. This new one promotes a more corporately friendly pose as well as adding in a few more jagged edges in the wild half of the design.
When it came to shape and scale I needed more rough edges on the right side. I also needed to adjust the size of the hand and elbow to make it closer to a human which would make it fit better in the workplace.
The tropes I was going for came across well as the formality of the robot's design clashed with the plant side perfectly and the rounded edges got the point across very well. I did need to add more plant life to mess up the design some more and really nail the degradation home, that's why I added a root on the leg and added some more moss on the left side.
As for color what I did was add more purple lines to add some more visual interest as well as increasing the space the white vent took up. I then took all of the colored parts and boosted the saturation by 30%. I did also change the color of the back of the head to be less distracting and made the purple more pink to imply more of a glow.
