I'm going to be cutting it close with this one as I finally have a chance to start working on this. To make it even harder on myself, I'll be using software I havent really used for a serious project before, mainly Blender and Krita. One, its a personal challenge and two, I want to see how far I can push the open source apps with as little experience with them as possible.
Here is the concept made in Krita:
Working fast here so, not a lot of attention given to the actual concept piece.
The artificial being is uploading its consciousness to escape eminent demise. I was thinking along the lines of a sci-fi underground railroad, stylized but mature.
Here is what I have roughed out so far inside Blender itself. The head and body have already been quickly sculpted and retopod, the rest is just placeholders.
Gonna need a lot of caffeine to knock this out by the 12th.

Finding more and more issues with Blender, good learning experience though.
Needs computer terminal, matte painting in the bg, foreground and background meshes + wires.
