I'm Ok to Go

Illustration based off a conceptart.org CHOW prompt (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/333036-CHOW-475-Antibody-Soldier-(WIPS). I've been obsessed with doing some baroque designs similar to Christophe Young's work seen here; https://www.artstation.com/artwork/VeAdZ. I figured I would try to incorporate something similar for the CHOW competition. The design is... hhhmmm, frustrating to paint. It looks cool in a sketch but rendering it is difficult.

Thanks goes to:

Thanks for all your direction.
