An Awesome Aussie's Picture Posse

"Battle Angel was a painting inspired by Sorayama's "Sexy Robots". But I wanted to experiment with texture such as rusted metal and grit. I had been working on this piece for 4 years off and on and finally finished it in 2004 for the cover of Heavy Metal magazine's Nov issue. She will also appear in Spectrum 12 ,as one of the years best.
I used a mixture of Photoshop and painter I also used a photo reference for her face".
