Sculpture: Coal-Powered Robot

Branham's Coal-Powered Robot by Jainme Margary

"My coal-powered robot sculpture, based on a design and commissioned by artist Tad Branham. I used Sculpey Clay and smoothened coins for the arm plates and head piece.

I tried to marry Branham's original design with 1980's toy joint designs and a few tweaks to make it seem more functional. And yes, I Photoshopped the smoke effect."
