Summer Project, Cyborg.

Summer Project, Cyborg.

I was given the task of creating a cyborg over the summer holidays. unfortunately I didnt have much access to my computer to do this, but I still gave it a go!

I started out my researching on cyborgs created by other people. this led me to looking at the cyborg none as Genji, a character from the game Overwatch. I really liked that this character looked more like a robot than he does a human. That and the fact i really enjoy this game made me start to think 'why cant i design my own character?'. 

I did a few quick drawings in my book with pencil to see if I wanted to create a male or female character, once I was happy with my pick, which was male, I moved on. 

I did a sketch of Genji the cyborg from overwatch. 

I then started to design the head I wanted for my cyborg. I knew that the head design would allow me to know how the rest of the character should look. so i drew out three different designs. the first one being a fully armourd male human head. This head has vents, cooling systems and robotic eyes, along with large wires sprouting from his head.

The second was more of a punk junker look. The armor used looks as if it was make from scrap metal and the face mask looks almost skull like. 

the third one is my favorite one. I really like the idea of having a full robot head but with a human brain within. 

After i was happy with the design i did i started working on my Cyborg in photoshop. I wanted him to be a ex arsonist so I picked reds, oranges and yellows for the colour schemes. 

I added a tattoo in to show old ties to his human side and love for fire.

finished design.

I was very happy with how this turned out as im not normally that good at colouring skin, but i feel i did a good job here. I also think the colour scheme works well.

This Cyborg was created for the world of Overwatch. seeing as the main story line involves the up rising of robots, I thought it was only fitting to create my cyborg to for this world. He was an ex convict, put away for many counts of arsonist. This happend after his 10 years service in the army. he was a very strong and good soldier  with a great mind for strategy. One day while in jail he was involed in a jail breakout which got himself badly hurt and almost killed. instead of trying to nurse him back to health the military took him away to try and create a super soldier with what was left of him. His face was beyond repair but his brain was intake. they locked off most emotions in his brain so he could compile and do as they wished when they wished. but ofcouse he learns to overcome these problems and becomes his own man/cyborg again. his love for fire never died and he wields a flamethrower. his legs designed for him to be able to run and jump quickly and far in a short period

 of time.
