   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.

   @Xi Lin Thanks :D

   @Mike Cummings Glad you like it! I still have a few more surprises for you. Will dribbble them from time to time to keep it interesting ;)

   @Mike Cummings It was more work than I anticipated, but the extra-effort of using only instances and clones will eventually pay off when it comes to all other Owltron variations :D

   Dude I bet. I spent countless hours on it in Illustrator, can't imagine rendering all the details in 3D. Kudos though :D

    @Mike Cummings Yeah, while working with your drawing I was often thinking: Oh man, this must have taken forever to draw! Was a pleasure to use it as a backdrop :D

    @Ian Mesa Great thought! Actually, my plan with this one was to make it a bit brighter than the previous shot, which was too dark for the bright Dribbble website. Quite challenging when dribbbling dark stuff.
