Opus Machina

Greets,

Wanted to create the tech-priest symbol from Warhammer 40k universe, so here is my interpretation of the symbol, “opus machina”. For the background, Tech-priests, or priesthood of mars, worship machines as holy, and their symbol show the divine union of man and machine.

pure blender, cycles, and some bitmaps with GIMP, some from http://www.cgtextures.com/
Any comments and critiques are appreciated

Thanks The design is pretty much the original Games Workshop’s one (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Machina_Opus#.UQvSuhIychY), thou I did use some “artistic freedom”, especially on the skull, which I’ve always thought in the original to look kind of “non-human” to my taste.
