Rise of Owltron ツ

This is a rough shot - just couldn't hold it back any longer. Still not entirely finished, but hopefully cool enough to justify dribbbling it.

Owltron is Robot of the Day at Year of the Robot!

Process:

1) Found Mike Cumming's awesome owl tattoo on Dribbble.

2) Then it went like this: "Mike, how about a robo-futuristic version of this?" - "Do it!" - "I'll do it!" - "Cool!". Did it.

3) Owlified Mike's drawing in modo 601, to become a tactile robo-futuristic owl.

4) Rendered with left-to-right 1-point light setup for a dramatic look.

5) Post-processed in 2D to add subtle fog, volumetric lights and glows around the eyes.
