Gilding a turd

I was working on making concept art for my Dark Angel Librarian. The plan was to make a more anatomically viable terminator armor. As soon as i finished the armor however, I quickly realized that it lacks that "Terminator Iconic Look". I just opted to make it a little presentable and move on. You can't polish a turd afterall. :P

Apparently the appeal to terminator and space marine art comes from the overly exagerated mesomorph. Hence I have to work with the armor itself rather than make sense of the human inside. lol

Oh well it was an interesting excercise. I feel like I haven't painted in ages.

*I hardly use any reference for these pieces.
