The brief for this was to make something based around corruption in digital commerce, data mining and AI etc, so I went looking for reference images of data mining rigs to use as a starting point and then let it degrade from there. I used an isometric grid to set up the perspective on the initial image for a kind of precise schematic quality, then once I’d got the basics set up I went to town on warping sections into flesh and damage to represent some kind of degradation. The background is very saturated blender brush work over the top of the lines with line shaped brushes over that. I tried to keep things vaguely toward RGB colours in line with the concept.
