Title: VanityUnfair_final_image
Notes: The idea is that mass produced sentient robots began to have problems with their personal identity and became obsessed with their vanity. They were fascinated by the individuality of humans...and started to remove unique areas of flesh from people to attach to there own bodies to help establish some sort of twisted independence. This is a commissioned digital portrait done for one of those robots.

Title: step02_paint_02
Notes: I hope this is usefull to somebody..I am going to track my painting each night...or day. Tonight I built a loose base over the head..and working to block out the rest of the body so I can see it better..I also built the wire harness for the neck..you can see I have a merged layer and 3 seperate hidden layers in the wire harnes layer. I merge them so I can treat their color harmoniously..and reserve them seperate ..in case I change my mind later..

Title: step01_paint_A
Notes: I should of posted this first.. This is the first step of painting.. basically I just start building up light over the base color and shape I am working on. Occasionally I will create a layer above all the others and set the layer set to soft light..and start loosely blocking in a main and secondary light source. This layer is just for reference and gets trashed.. I may need to do it by tomorrow for the body..I got lazy when I did the color study...and didn't flush that out completly...

Title: VanityUnfair_working01
Notes: this is how it looks before I start to model the lighting. I use the darkest value of the color I am modeling. All keyed to a local color. I will keep at least 10% of that local color in my whites until the very end..That way can lightly punch up the hightlights withpout going to far ro fast.

Title: step01_layout_B
Notes: This the end of the first step. Painting set-up/layout. After I have filled all the selections with their base color and have a solid major shape in the layer palette. I will save the each selection of the major shape in a channel for safe keeping.. and as a place to pull an easy selection from later. Plus...it helps to spread out the organization from the path palete.I used to save out channels for all my shapes..buti found out the hard way and photoshop has a limit on how many you can save.19 or 20...and it adds to the file size more than paths.

Title: step01_layout_A
Notes: This is the first step I take laying out my image for paint. The first thing I do is set up a folder structure in the layer palette. I create them based on the major shapes. In this case it was the background, body, face and wires. The next stage is to trace out the secondary shapes with paths. Specifically the individual parts of the robot. I could use layer grouping as I build up light..but that creates a very deep layer palette and can be confusing to srub and locate the layer you are looking for. Saving out paths help spread out the organization and doesn't add to much to the file size. As I am naming and saving out paths, I will convert them to selections and start filling them in the layer palette.

Title: untiled1
Notes: I hate these designs ...but I thought I would post them since I spent so much time trying to figure out my layout.. the reference got the best of me...truth is..I need to be doing figure drawing everyday... I am to rusty to enjoy my own drawings...it is becoming work. ...anyway I had this idea that mass produced sentient robots began to have an idendity complex and became obsessed with vanity.They were facinated by the individuality of humans...and started to remove faces and other random areas of flesh from people to attach to there own bodies.
I have an image in my head of black smooth metal mechanical parts mixed with matte rubber hoses and electical parts ...overlayed with bluish white transluscent skin filled with an array of veins.. the edge of the skin is torn showing a thin layer of yellowish fatty tissue. I want is it to be an image that is as beautiful and erotic as it is grusome. ..hopefully the image will find its way to the page soon...time is ticking.

Title: mechhunter02
Notes: This is an alternate design I am thinking about. All of the same alterations apply. I just wanted to make her mechnical parts more apparent.
I still want to developed a shotgun version of the CrossGun. I have some minor ideas about how the gun could operate because it is held by a mechanical arm.

Also, I have some blade ideas I will have to explore too. I was thinking of a cross shaped ax...but it isn't very elegant.

hope you like it. please, give feedback or suggestions

Title: electromagnetic_thumbnail.jpg
Notes: this is the first of some of my ideas.
I was going down the road of fighters.
Gladiators of sort... as they break bones or loose parts they can have machinery in place of tissue, apendages, etc. I was thinking electromagnetic phantom arms... with extra large? heavy hands added to this female fighter. I want to explore other appendages and possible multiple sets of hands or weapons. It may be useful to have a normal sized set of hands...in order to utilize oponents weapons. I also want to explore adding weapons systems to the existing mechanical hands...
