Description
This one both took the longest, and was the hardest to do both conceptually and in terms of execution. I'm not even really thrilled with it completely, but I'm glad I finished it.

OK! So first of all, I read up on Cyborg, and decided a key element of his character early on was that he felt like a monster after his dad cyborgized him. That said, I decided to play up the monstrous quality of his look, by both exaggerating the look of his prothestics, and showing the remains of his injuries on his few patches of original flesh. The super thin, almost skeletal limbs and torso were made to seem inhuman and alien, to contrast his human face and mind.

In terms of the actual costume, its very close to his Teen Titans animated look, filtered through the lense of like, Evangelion or something. Honestly, I think his redesign for Teen Titans was so good, it was hard to get away from it. I also tried to pull in elements from Android Kikaider as well. The electricity was added to give it some visual flair, and to allude to some Frankensteinishness. Yes.

I like Cyborg conceptually, and wanted to do him justice, but I don't know that I succeeded.

I probably won't do any more of these for a while, because they started to get very time consuming as I got more into them, and I really need to work.
