Render created using both stocks with some additional work done:

effects created by starting off with pen tool line shapes set to diff liquify filters, many diff settings on many diff layers. I rendered the two stocks first, then molded them together, and smudged them to fit together, added diff textures and blending modes to get the face to blend with the metal seemlessly. lots of burn and dodging, few diff c4d's set to diff layer modes, few diff gradient maps, some grunge brushing, and some just good ol fashion fun. any cnc welcome. thx
