Was getting tired of my current iPhone wallpaper – so I decided to make a new one using the owl illustration i did a while back.

Download the full view if ya like :D
Awesomeness! Has a super cool robotic touch! I'm imagining how this owl would look like if shaded in 3D, with glossy black coated tritanium alloy and incidence-angle based dispersion in the glowing eyes :D
I'll put it on my loooooong to-do list! Would definitely be fun to practice. Got a bit distracted from 3D graphics lately (so much coding to do) but have to get back into modo soon! Can I use your super cool owl graphics as a backdrop? I'll credit and rebound you of course :D
Might do several crazy design variations. All stuff modeled with instance clones, using morph maps on the base meshes. Want 5 different Owltrons? You can have 10 different Owltrons :D
@Mike Cummings Amazing man! Absolutely love it, thanks! You should add your icon and '2012 OWL' to it as well, I think it gives it some more character :)

Rise of Owltron ツ
by Franz (Taptanium)
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.
Check it out: 1600 x 1200

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.
——————————
Now the cool part: This is just a snapshot from the lab where Owltron is under construction. The final thing will hit Dribbble soon.
