Artist's Comments

Battle Angel was a painting inspired by Sorayama's "Sexy Robots". But I wanted to experiment with texture such as rusted metal and grit. I had been working on this piece for 4 years off and on and finally finished it in 2004 for the cover of Heavy Metal magazine's Nov issue. She will also appear in Spectrum 12 ,as one of the years best.
I used a mixture of Photoshop and painter I also used a photo reference for her face.

OMG that is amazing! I'm sure mine is just the first of hundreds of comments on this fantastic piece. Welcome to DA. I can't wait to see more of your work.

That's so cool. I like how the metal is so shiny, yet so rusty. Nice work on the background an lighting. Details arenice, too,like the little blue lights.
