Photoshop CS5 - Intuos 4 Large - probably 7 hours - mainly hard round brush, but also my custom dotty brush for added detail.
Taking the 3 anatomy face paintings I did further, I wanted to work more from my imagination. The initial concept didn't quite work out, so I went for something a little more classical looking. A little more cliché.
The aim was to practise anatomy more. The concept I ended with was a woman who could get about very quickly, with a large tesla-like magneto-electro power source embedded in her head, protruding from her skull, in a sort of cyborg-esque implant style. She would be a mobile energy provider whose running would charge it all back up again.
I did intend to give her all sort of clothes and designs and take a page from AI's book, but I'm not quite ready for that level of detail. Getting there! Either way, I managed to achieve a big thing here - next: more challenging things and better composition!
