I've set myself an 'Alphabet Challenge' for 2018.
Each week I will move through the alphabet and make a piece of art related to whichever letter I have reached. It might be a tv show, film, character or ship - whatever pops into my head.
So, week 3 and we have 'C' and the first thing that sprang to mind was 'Cylons'. Always loved those robots! Something else tying in that begins with C is Caprica so I settled on doing the first Cybernetic Life-form Node prototype from the show.
We've had some great guesses on the WIPs for this one. While most people guessed the 'mechanical' aspect to it no-one guessed what it was. Ideas from Warhammer mechs to Transformers and my personal favourite, a mechanical elephant
Done with polychromos pencils and built up in layers, utilising my pressure application and layering techniques, the picture consists of 16 colours.
The Cylon's eye was done with white, light flesh, dark red and deep red.
The Cylon's head was done with white, dark sepia, brown ochre (dark), black, cold grey 3, warm grey 4 and warm grey 6.
The Cylon's body was done with white, dark sepia, nougat, brown ochre (dark), terracotta, black, cold grey 3, green gold, warm grey 4, warm grey 5 and warm grey 6.
The smoke was done with ivory, dark sepia, raw umber, brown ochre (dark) and warm grey 4
The background was done with cold grey 6.

Completion time: 12 hours 41 minutes
