Biomech Engineer (30min. spitpaint)

This is my 2nd run on this theme, the first I scrapped because it was basically just me warming up after several days of doing absolutely no art at all; this felt a lot better overall, more of what I was trying to get down on the canvas.

To be honest I wasn't fully sure how I wanted to go about this, I did know I wanted some kind of heavy robotics playing on top of a bioorganic body of some kind, at least a torso as in this case. Colors came about kind of spontaneously, I basically did big fills and gradients on an overlay layer then duplicated that layer and inverted it, playing around with this method a few more times. I often will 'get there' in some random, haphazard fashion, it's not the most efficient but I guess it..works? Threw on an overlay layer of a full color fill and dropped the opacity a bit, just to unify the colors a little more.
