: Creating robotic interface I know robotic might be the wrong word to describe it, but I've been looking into how to do this effect for like 5 years now, and haven't bumped into anything yet.

@Cooney243

I've seen this technique done quite alot, it's actually somewhat dated but I've seen some people do it really well. There are a bunch of different techniques to achieve this effect commonly used ones are dodge and burn to give the "metal" material highlights and some strokes on pen curves to generate wires, but for the most part they're drawn(either by hand or in photoshop). These might give you some direction, check these links:

The examples you showed are essentially paintings. At first I thought they were 3D renderings (something that could produce a similar effect) But they aren't something that can just be duplicated using a tutorial from the web. That being said, here's two I found that might get you started, but very elementary in comparison.
