Robot 001: Hel

I've played with the idea of doing studies of classic robots from all traditions and periods. Interspersed with the studies would possibly be my own designs synthesized from the hallmarks of that period/style. We'll see how long it lasts. Regardless, I had no doubt as to what the first study should be: the robot Hel, from Fritz Lang's 1927 (!) masterpiece Metropolis.
One of the most influential and iconic robot designs, Hel stands the test of time.
