Description
You guys must be tired of seeing my face over and over again in my photomanipulations, hehe. But the thing is, once I get an idea, it's pretty damn impossible to find a stock image that is EXACTLY what I need. So you'll have to do with me! Now as a cyborg - taking over your local neighbourhood, and generally messing with your head.I apologize for the watermark, but I don't like the idea of people stealing my face. It's already happened with my Kitty Hood pictures, or so I've been told.
This barely even looks like me anymore, but regardless of that, please keep pervy comments to yourself.
---
Media: Photo taken by me, of myself, Photoshop 8.0 and a Wacom Tablet.
Music listened to: "Take Me Into Your Skin" by Trentemoller. Fitting song, now that I think of it. Go listen to it! It's the most soothing music I've heard in a long time.
Time taken: Too long. x) But I'm iffy about details, so it always takes longer than it should. I also put a lot of general painting in this as usual.
Stock used:
Connections by ~Pax-Caryatid
Down the Tubes by ~neubie
Gears by ~stocked
Last but not least, a big thank you to the stock artists that make life easier for the rest of us.
Edit: Added more skin to the neck area.

I saw this on LJ and I rarely comment from those but this just really caught my eye.
I love the angles you used with her arms, it adds something twisted that just plays with the rest of the motion of the wiring.
Kudos to you

Well, I'm glad you did!
Thank you very much. That's exactly why I used myself for this picture. I had the pose in my head, but it would be impossible to find a stock photo exactly like this.

Thank you! ^^ I'm glad you like it. I didn't think I'd ever do anything sci-fi... but well, there you have it. And it probably won't be my last one either.

Great, I think sci-fi surrealism would be the way to go

veeeery nice. the jacks that are hooked up to you on your flank are brilliantly made, looks so real... as real as plugs hugged up to sockets in flesh gets XD
your neck is very well made, looks very real too and the detail work is amazing, but there's something about it that bugs me, possibly it's the overlap from flesh to metal that's a bit too clean.... but it's not like I could have done better
amazing piece, I like how you it takes a moment to notice and figure out what's exsactly up with your eyes =3

Yeah, you're right. Changed it now. Just a quick change, but it's better than nothing.
Aahh, I want contacts like that! So people would get that feeling when they met me in real life. x)

Great work!
I was about to make a comment about how it would be cool if one of your eyes was robotic, too.. Then I saw the full-size version and lo' and behold, your eyes DO have some electronic something about 'em.
I especially like the tubes and connections down around your hip section. Looks very realistic.

I waaaant eyes like that in real life! I'd scare people off I think, but that's good... in some cases, I guess. x)
Glad you like it Kenneth.
