To ring in the return of the original 'borg menace, the Cybermen, showcasing in Saturday's UK airing of "Doctor Who", here's something a lil' offbeat, a 'toon Cyberman. I modeled a somewhat passable mockery of the "Invasion/Revenge" helmets and placed it upon the Content Paradise freebie figure, the "Blind Guardian". It was originally just a simple modeling exercise and experiment, but I thought the finished effect had humorous potential. Playing up the silly factor, I used a TV prop as part of the chest unit and added an oscilloscope texture suggesting an EKG readout.
By adding a depth of field "haze" and placing the combined figure in front of RDNA's "sci-fi pipes" backdrop, we have a silly lil' homage to the London sewer scenes from "The Invasion".
Sincerely,
Bill
