Just another post-apocalyptic scene

got this idea today, sat down and start making it. started off as an idea for BlenderGuru’s theme contest, which i probably won’t participate, cause it’s a little too late now. anyway, as i start to model the machine, i suddenly feel like derailing a bit and try a post-apocalyptic style thing.
this is a hugh step for me, cause it’s the first time i ever seriously attempt to step outside my comfort zone. so critics are highly appreciated.
and yes i notice the black horizon, that’s the problem with Andrew Price’s pro lighting skies pack, demo version 1.0, i’ll fix it later.

rendered at 200 samples, 960*540, duration 16 minutes


again, critics highly appreciated
