The movie Ex Machina (2014) won an Oscar for Visual Effects. The film is visually stunning. A film like this takes a lot of work and one of the many talented artists working on the film shared some illustrations for Ava on his site.
Oliver Cubbage is an Emmy nominated professional concept artist who's worked on major motion projects like Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Jupiter Ascending (2015), and X-Men: First Class (2011).

Interestingly the artist chose to use Natalie Portman's face instead of the actress Alicia Vikander. These may have been done before her casting.
Here's what Ava looked like in the film. The film favored a more pronounced distinction between her face and the mechanical parts under her skin.

About Ex Machina (2014)
Official synopsis: "Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test—charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive––and more deceptive––than the two men could have imagined."Directed by Alex Garland
