light and shade, work in progress

Sneek peak to the process of building up my poster for digital graphics subject.
From left to right:
original concept, permanent markers and wood finish on packaging paper
pencil drawing on plywood
permanent marker on glossy print foil
two rendered images with blender
a composite of the previous two
the raster image traced with inkscape

Original size is 350 mm / 1000 mm, had cut off the header part on the top -two of the photographs taken had them. 
Will have to print out the final result, still I'd like to add in some details and end up with a grubgier, more industrial look as on the first image. 
Have to figure out how to manage it, since filtering may be a bit processor melting at this scale.


The grasshopper came from this source:
www.cadnav.com/3d-models/model…

Somehow it got split apart in blender, which I was fine to go with, it adds to the concept well.
Rendering took 6 hours @ 150 dpi and reasonable samples.
