"There can be no understanding between the hands and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator."
-- Fritz Lang, Metropolis
In the future, the society of Metropolis is divided in two social classes: the workers, who live in the underground below the machines level, and the dominant classes that lives in the surface. The workers are controlled by their leader Maria, who wants to find a mediator between the upper class lords and the workers, since she believes that a heart would be necessary between brains and muscles. Maria meets Freder Fredersen, the son of the Lord of Metropolis Johhan Fredersen, in a meeting of the workers, and they fall in love for each other. Meanwhile, Johhan decides that the workers are no longer necessary for Metropolis, and uses a robot pretending to be Maria to promote a revolution of the working class and eliminate them.

(November 28, 2006 at 10:10 PM) Your illustration is AMAZING! I was excited, just from the IF thumbnail! Your illustration skills do not seem neglected at all. This is a really terrific idea, and done so beautifully.
Since I know you value sincere feedback. I will make an effort to try. (Like I wish you, and others would with my work too.) So, that being said, compositionally, I wish there was a little separation between the forearm and the upper arm. I don't know if it's possible, but you'd shifted the arm position so there had been a bit of "air space" or gap there, it would maybe be a little improvement on a GREAT illustration.
Selfishly I'd love to know more about your process. How you did it, how long it too, what you used, etc.
