I finally decided to go with this “cold shoulder” dress. She needed to be soft, the soft spot between the hard metal of her arm and the android. This is also the reason I decided to ditch the idea of “space girl” type clothing which tends to be aggressive and hard. I wanted it to be clear that she was human and only her arm was mechanical. I eventually decided the girl needed bare shoulders to clearly see the cybernetic arm connection. I needed to get some humanity in this android. OK, maybe it’s too dark…Īngry robot face changed to gentle face. Maybe she should be an alien? Blue is the accent color so it makes sense. I wanted to get the softness just right so it would contrast nicely with the hard metal of the android. What to wear and what hair? I obsessed over endless choices. The plan was to have the android’s right arm on her waist and she would be gently touching his metal fingers.

As you can see the original composition was wider. This is an in-progress test render from early on. I wanted two characters – an android and a cyborg – in love yet troubled, going through the same ups and downs we all do. It needed to be bright, not the dark moody work I usually gravitate towards. Colors needed to be white and gray with a blue accent. It had to match the modern aesthetic of our new kitchen. Some of the initial criteria: It was designed as a large piece, three feet square, so it needed to be extremely detailed. Today I’m finally calling it done and I’m presenting it here hoping I haven’t completely strangled the emotional life out of it. Constantly second guessing my creative choices, it took me a year to finish this, sometimes setting it aside, then diving back in to see if I could perfect it. The kitchen had taken over a year to complete and this art piece had to live up to that. We had remodeled our kitchen and saved a space on the wall for an art piece, complete with it’s own special spotlight. Need that frightening cyborg in your scene, but want use your favorite female or male model? Maybe your lead character needs an animatable robot arm? Or maybe a hole in the face? Then 3D Cyborg is for you… You’ll master how to blend variours human and robotic characters into awesome looking cyborgs, all inside Daz Studio or with additional optional effects using 3D modeling and 2D software.This piece was a marathon to create.
