Iยดm really into Greek mythology and poseidon is always the guy with the bad temper that really has bad grudges. It kind of looks like a spaceship, I also love the effect on the background.

Thank you! And yeah, he has quite the temper there but can also be kind at times. I tried to capture part of that potential there.
And I agree, it's very spaceship-like. The idea developed over time into one of these sentient robots or mechanisms that serve as avatars for the Gods, sort of like a pantheon of the future. Some will be more functional in nature (like the upcoming Artemis) and others more raw, like Poseidon.

Interesting concept with the god avatars!

The texture could be made "bumpy" fairly easily. I kinda liked the flat texture of it, but thinking it over it's not a bad idea. Maybe a very fine sandblasted texture...
I'm pretty certain this won't be the final version, but I've worked on it for so long that I just wanted to submit it finally. I'll likely go back to it in a couple days after I've had a chance to step away from it a bit.

Interesting, the colours (or should i say colour) are nice, why not try making the texture a bit more bumpy, give it some interesting noise. What software are you using for this?
