Based on an Illustration from the 80's from artist Melvyn Grant, with some freedoms I took to adaptate its look to this times.
This illustration served as covers for the book "Steel Tzar" for the videogame "Ballistix" and also for the Judas Priest Album "Rocka Rolla" I feel captivated from it's aggresive look and its kind of ambiguous nature so I decided to translate it into 3D.
I took extra reference material from artists Adam Skutt, David de León, Glauco Longhi, John Chalfant, Pack Rat Studios and GB Designs.
