I wanted to push realism in this painting. The chip was mocked up in google sketchup which gives me black outlines only. The lighting on the chip was made up and I have to say, I am pretty impressed with myself. It's always good to push yourself to a new level. I think I achieved that here.
--------------------- Photoshop CS4 / Google Sketchup / Cintique Tablet No this was NOT referenced off of any celebrity nor was it meant to be a Star Trek reference. It's merely a cyborg. Thanks for looking!
LOL Good thing you added the disclaimer. I was gonna ask if that was Natalie Portman. After all, she was bald in V for Vendetta if I'm not mistaken. This pic is so awesome. I love the detail. It's kinda creepy and alluring at the same time. Sorta like a Beauty and the Beast in the same person. Great job!
