For my critique, I'm going to start with OMG this has been painted! This is awesome work dude. Now let's get on to the critique. I feel that you really bring in the texture into the painting, especially with the streets and the lights in the background. They're beautiful honestly. Although for the robot, I feel that on his right leg, it needs to be longer, it just doesn't look right. You did the robot very well with giving it a metallic texture with scrapes of paint gone off. Which is good, I also like how at the side of the puddle you made a partial part of the side wet, giving it the texture that this is a puddle. The reflections in the water may need a bit of work, maybe use lighter colours or darker colours depending on what happened before, lets say it just rained, you could put little wet dots on the floor, and make the reflections darker. Think about the environment around the robot and how every thing would look like in that type of condition. I like the use of texture and giving each element in the painting a 'real look'. All in all, Joseph I would give you a 4.5/5 which is a 9/10, you just need a bit of changes here and there, and this will become a masterpiece!

I love the detail in this!
I feel like the upper left side could use a bit more detail.
The orange stripe in the building behind the robot kinda distracts me.
For future reference i find just about any type of non natural light distracting that's right near the main part of a painting unless it's obv there to bring out the characters.
The water by the boat i feel could use a little work but it's still nice.
I finally see some sharp angles and its nice, i feel straight sharp lines are pleasing to the eye and brings art together to look more professional.

It's amazing as of how far you've come as an artist my friend! Everything in this painting of yours is absolutely amazing! But, now for me to critique if that's fine.

Vision: Absolutely stunning! It looks as though this robot was actually real, however, the way the street and the water is overall painted could use a little more effort, not to offend. The background looks amazing too! Like I'm actually looking at cars from the distance, all in all, absolutely stunning!

Originality: It looks pretty damn original in my book! I've never really seen art with too many robots in this type of situation or setting, so kudos to you on this! However, it seems as though the setting could have been a little better? You know what I mean, like something a lot different other than on a city street, not that it's not original, but I tend to see a lot of art with these types of settings, so the setting could use a little more work.

Technique: Your technique seems to be very original! I've not exactly seen people with this style of painting, so there's really nothing wrong with your technique, it seems to be very much orignal! However, even original techniques could use work, you're technique is good, but it could use a little more work to make the image pop out a lot more.

Impact: It's not an exact huge impact that I have for this piece, but it does leave a pretty good impact! I'm very surprised with the overall job you've done with this picture, your skills are growing day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, etc. Your works are getting better each time you post your art each day of the year, and this is by far the best picture that I've seen your skills at!  Your style is overall amazing, still needs a little work, but your on your own way to becoming a great painter, and a great artist in general! Overall the impact it gave me in a scale from one to ten is 8.5/10! Keep up the great work my friend, and never stop painting, afterall, everyday is a new, and every moment is a new moment!

And I apologize for not having critiqued your other works. I've been very busy with my personal life, and could never find the proper time to critique your amazing paintings, but now I do, I hope you enjoyed this critique and it gave you the ability to find new ways to increase the way you draw your paintings!

WOAH.  Just...woah.  I can't get over how far you've come!!!    The way you've executed the texture gradient is gorgeous!!!    My favorite part of your whole piece is actually the highlight where the left side of the sidewalk meets the water - I know it seems random, but it's really stunning!    ...Haha I know you're looking for brutal here, but I mean I don't have much to say.  

I guess, there are a few small things though.  Like several people already said, the lamp-post closest to the robot could use a little more detail.  All you need to do there is one or two vertical highlights that go all the way from the bottom to the top of the pole.  Metal textures are SO weird though, so it might be a good idea to get a reference though as well.    

As for the water, I don't have much of an issue with it.  Personally I think you did a great job with most of it.  The only part that bugs me is the water in the bottom-right corner where you have the reflections of the tan buildings.  Compared with everything else in the piece, it stands out as the least developed, which is a problem seeing as it's right in the foreground.  So I recommend just going back in and adding a little more detail in that area.

Overall though, I am BLOWN AWAY by this piece!!!!!  You've improved so much just in the last several months, and I can tell that you have a real career ahead of you.    Keep at it!!

You did a great deal of effort on this, I can easily find that. However I will not give you remorse if this is not what you are looking for.

First of all, the water looks a bit off. Sure the reflections might match but it seems a little more blurred and differentiated from the rest of the picture, and that can take a person's eye off the real point of the picture - otherwise known as the robot with the paper boat - in a matter of seconds.

Another thing would be the lamp post. I understand how much you want people to focus on the robot and the toy boat, and I totally respect that, but you also need to make sure that everything else flows with the picture too. Don't let the other parts die down just because a paper boat hits the water. I suggest next time add a little more shade and lighting. This might also go well with the buildings behind him, but they seem to be able to make their own spot in the background themselves. This decision can be up to you with those.

I believe that is all I have to offer. Try to use some light colors more, maybe some smudge and even a little bit of sharpness tools. They can help your pictures pop out to the eye more!

Oh my god I love this
I think this is my fave from your gallery-- 

I really like it tho! Since you blurred out the background the robot and the paper boat seems so clear like its a picture taken *7* 
I think all you need to work on is to add some shadow to the background and the lamp post next to the robot esp. It might be the background and the bg is blurred but you can tell that is isn't really shaded :'D the lamp post is black and only that tiny bit is shiny :'D I guess you can make it more shiny and more metal-ish? 
I think you should add just a bit more shading on the robot's hands, the body is perfectly fine *7* 
Overall this is amazing <333 I love this wahahahaha
