Gnome Cyborg

As I sketched this work out I knew I had a good character on my hands. However as I started to render it became clear I still lacked some key elements. I took my time with the rendering of the metal considering it was my first real attempt. I didn't know I was going to put him in a snowy environment until the very end. I think I got lucky because there was a moment I had no idea where to go with this piece.

As I rendered the Cyborg Gnome I began to think about why he had robotic limbs on his right side. He most likely lost them in some explosion; a battle or an engineering accident perhaps. Either way he is a very wise and experienced figure.
