This image was painted in photoshop during last two days, on and off. I was highly motivated doing this painting.
My girlfirend,interessed in this particular painting also came in with some of the ideas for this concept, she was learning for exams, and from time to time she would take a break from her books and helped me out by suggestions.
Because of that I had even more fun, cos she actually is not an SF fan at all, so I was thrilled my character got her attention.

I really enjoy character design, it is one of my dreams, to work as character designer.

The character flowed from my mind to my screen pretty easy, I drew sketch quite fast, without any big effort.
Hard part was to render it to look organic, and somewhat real.

I used my photographed forhead as starting point for everything else considering shading and coloring and making it look believable.
And that was pretty much it, then I had to sit down and burn my fingers and wrist to manifest my vision.
Enough talk, I posted some of closeups, and sketch, and crop of photo I took.

Here are the pics:
