Ghost In the Shell - Tanked out Tachikoma

In the early 2000s I moved to Los Angeles where I frequented a japanese bookstore. This is where I was first introduced to Shirow Masamune and the Ghost in the Shell universe. These Intron Depot artworks would inspire me to embrace line art and push the level of detail in complex mechanical types of construction. However I deviated from sci fi for many years, my love for this type of work never faded. Thanks to Sketchbook Pro, I was able to finally get around to doing that tribute piece that I've always wanted to do for Ghost in the Shell.
