Android Legacy: Soul Of A New Machine

Another update on the Android Legacy series.

This time with a rather symbolic view on what happens with their "Essence", once a cyborg is going to be dismantled or replaced.

For this piece I pulled inspiration from renessaince artworks of the beginning 19th century for the dramatic coloring and the future faces series by http://biz02.deviantart.com/ (check out his work!)

Model reference for painting the pose from http://posespace.com/
Background is from my own Mandelbulb3D render library
The spheres were done using an iPad tool called "iOrnament" (not visible on this shot, but in the full image which will appear soon on deviantArt)
The blue grid on the background is done using iPad app called "Flowpaper"
