The skull was sculpted and redered in Blender.
I designed the circuits in Illustrator using the skull as a guide to mimic the facial structure.
The final edits were done in Photoshop. I stuck to stock images for the fire and cracked open an old Mac and an Acer desktop I had lying around to take circuit board photos for the background. The goal was to get the editing process down to an hour for a tutorial.
I did it all over a second time for recording. I made a background music track in Ableton Live using Maschine, Native Instruments and Chipsounds from Plogue
