Illustration recently completed for a WPT Poker magazine cover. 'Jonny Bax' is one of a new breed of online poker players - the cyborg enhancements were added to emphasize the technology/advances in online poker playing over traditional.
A photo of Jonny was supplied and mapped to a geomtery head. The head mesh was tweaked to match Jonny's features, and then the cybernetic apparel was modeled and added. Finally, the head mesh was used as a shadow catcher, and the subsequent shadows were overlaid in a Photoshop composite of the original photo.
