For this module I decided to come up with a human character because I thought it would be more of a challenge rather than a simple monster. I always thought that the human body is the hardest thing to represent through an artistic medium.
And this is how a certain image started to form in my head. I'm in love with the aesthetic called "cyberpunk". The way this theme combines the natural with technology always results in very interesting scifi concepts.
I went ahead and started collecting image references that gave me a pretty solid idea about how I would like my character to look like.
One common thing between the characters who belong in this type of universe is their modified bodies. The maintain their human looks but some parts of their bodies are augmented with artificial organs and/or limbs.
FACE
So for my character I decided to include such details.
First of them is her face. It is a modified normal human female face with the shape of a lion's mouth with sharp teeth.
My main interest is to see how can I mix them together in order to look anatomically correct. The face will also include some "futuristic" elements such as patches of skin that look like they were assembled during different times and which also have different textures.
BODY
The body will keep the proportions of a human female. What I will be focusing on the most, at this part, will be the fashion.
Looking through the image references, I really liked the look of the jacket being very 'puffy' at the sleeves and having a high collar around the neck.
ROBO ARMS
The arms will be another modified part of the body.
Instead of the normal, fleshy arms they will be replaced by a pair of robotic arms and the end of the fingers will look like claws.
