Done over a month ago as part of a character concept series, which I've been doing while I try to learn the ins-and-outs of some new techniques. I've been taking art classes, and have since revised a large quantity of my methods for coloring, shading, backgrounds, and texture rendering. I'll post some background work soon to show those improvements as well!

I feel this piece was a turning point for me after the classes, and since I've noticed a significant improvement in my ability to apply these new techniques. So here's hoping 2016's work will be that much better for it! (Especially since we're almost there!)

The character is Atlas, a cyborg from an upcoming project.
