Robot searching for love

I really love how this one turned out. I started by looking in the MorgueFile directory for inspiration and came across this killer set of robot images that were being featured. I really loved the one i used as the basis of this piece at http://morguefile.com/archive/display/645792 by Seemann. I took the original image, bitmap-traced it twice, once in edge mode, once in threshold mode, and made the edge bright yellow and the threshold deep dark umber. I then duplicated and filled the threshold image with bright yellow, sent it to the back, and blurred for a glow effect. I used the ellipse tool to make the thought cloud, and did a union to bring together the cloud itself. The heart was made with the ellipse and Bezier tools, and unioned. Then I duplicated, intersected, and path-inset to make the gradient reflection on the heart. The background is just a subtle mix of earthy tones. I had a hell of a lot of fun making this one, I hope you enjoy it.
