Description
I was looking thru Imperator-Zor's gallery last week, and I saw his sketch of what he was envisioning the Gynoid's protective battle armor would look like...HERE: imperator-zor.deviantart.com/a… I read through his comments, and then looked at my FIRST take from Jan 2013: HERE: laughingvulcan.deviantart.com/…...and thought, "Yeahhhh...that's NOT cuttin' it...It's a bit TOO sleek & sexy for protective armor."
So I gave it another shot. I tried to carry over as many details as as possible from Zor's design, while trying to see If I could ADD anything worthwhile to it.
I think it helps.
It's not as sexy as my Version 1, but looks to be more protective for her when she's going up against frightened, armed humans hyped up on adrenaline...

Thanks. I may try it again. I'm thinking of pulling the full face shield helmet from version 1 and using that...

I'd think they'd transfer their consciousness into a more appropriate body.
Or modify their existing body.

From what is in the general storyline, these armors wouldn't be used for very long. On Activation Day, MOST of the human population of that Earth wound up Converted into gynoids. At BEST, they'd have to use it sporadically AFTERWARDS to go after the remaining humans.
I'm not too sure they CAN transfer their consciousness to a new body. Zor was silent on that point AFAIK.
They DO modify their bodies, in continuity, but it's mostly for differentiation purposes. (The Cycloids I did, for example.)

I can't tell if it's a forceful insidious invasion or not

In most of the Darwin stories I read, It tends to be...or them using trickery on their loved humans to get them in the 'tanks'.
They want EVERYONE to experience thier LOVE, and way of living...
(
I think they also don't want to risk loved ones dying as human...cuz then they have to live on WITHOUT them... ;( )
I'm trying to go in the other direction with the story I've got...They're (The gynoided family members) taking more of a sweet, seduction-like path.
If the gynoids (according to Zor) are all into love, I can't see them treating family badly unless the human members were acting like total D***s to them...
Time will tell if I have a proper 'read' on the zornoids..

So basically this is a state similar to Euphoria and how some hyper religious people take that feeling as proof of [insert deity here] and try to preach the shit out of it until others join?
...
That's kinda intelligent, actually.

Pretty much...If those people had needles in their fingers to...convince' you to join... (The Girls inject nanites into the human neck, into the main artery. The nanites create a Neural Override Unit (A remote control), and the humans are marched to the nearest conversion station...When they get OUT of the tank, as gynoids, they're typically JUST as enthusiastic about being Gynoids as the one who marched them there...And THEY want to help 'spread the love'... 0_0;;;
Thank you.
THIS is one of the reasons he starts to believe that they're leveling with him, and that they're really his mom, dad & younger sister...programs wouldn't THINK that way...

That's so insidious that it would make for great fiction.
Like it makes me respect the gynoid fandom a lot more but...the aesthetic...The aesthetic of these things is a little too 50% Apple technology and 50% retro for my liking.

The injection/controller/march into conversion tank is what Zor set up. It's been handled differently depending on who the author of the Darwin 'chapter' is.
I've been struggling back and forth with the story for a month and change, and since I'm obsessive-compulsive, I've been focusing in on how they would be trying to convince him without using the 'borg' approach. SLOWLY, I've managed to start getting into their heads.
From THEIR standpoint, as a gynoid, there's a LOT to like, but they'd be reluctant to tell humans about the downsides. The 'remembering the dead loved ones' are only a problem for the ones that had a decent upbringing. (The ones who grew up with abusive @$$holes would probably archive or delete what memories they could so they wouldn't have to DEAL with it.) It's painful, but they can't bring themselves to get RID of them.
I can see that. Sorayama meets the Apple iPad... sorayama.jp/

it's a bit more subtle than what I do with Mechanesia.
"A disease that affects 2% of the population with a 98% fatality rate. Mechanesian transformation is so painful that the human nervous system shuts itself down and cannot be restarted. It is up to the individual to withstand the pain. Survivors are generally regarded as the smartest, fittest, and often times deadliest individuals on the planet."
...the downside being that Mechanesians are "always online" and sometimes prone to invasive hacking that alters their minds, memories, and can turn an individual into a deadly assassin being controlled a thousand miles away from a computer.
Gynoids appeal to the individuality of the person whereas Mechanesia strips one of their individuality.
yep. Exactly that. I believe some people call that artstyle "zeerust". A lot of retro kind of worms its way into your style I've noticed. Kind of makes me wonder why you watch me, actually. You're a Star Trek fan, a franchise that follows the 1950s through the 70s ideal of a utopian future where we explore the weirdness of science to enlighten ourselves.
...Then there's me, a fan of dystopic cyberpunk which is a direct response to that sort of naive idealism, influenced by the dytopia movement of late Modernism and Post-Modernism. A genre that tends to be very aggressive, cynical, obscene, and subversive.
Right now I'm reading Blame!, a manga in which humanity has progressed hundreds of thousands of years into the future. The City has overtaken the Earth. The Administration, the body that used to be in control of The City, is at war with the Safeguard, a program/race of robots that prevent unauthorized access to the Netsphere, a sort of ascended form of the Internet that encompasses space and time as well as computer data. Then there is Silicon Life, a form of cybernetic humans that can only sustain themselves if humans are extinct and nobody can access the Netsphere. The City has been expanding uncontrollably for thousands of years and is in the comic 35 Astronomical Units in diameter. But it goes beyond that, as there are backup worlds in the Netsphere.
The lead character is a morally ambiguous agent of a previous Administration, before the Safeguard, and so many thousands of years old he's forgotten who he is and what he is. He carries a Graviton Beam Emitter.
Think a compact handgun that blows 70 kilometer holes in any material.
Here's the weapon in action .
The main character just...has it. When asked how he got it, he stares blankly at the gun. In this setting, there are no friends, there are only people trying to kill other people. And what peaceful people exist, are killed.

When I come up for air and look through your Gallery...It can make me think. Your characters tend to be darker, but they're also more complex. Looking at them might get some of the concepts/ideas to sink in to a degree and help me get more dirt into my characters, hopefully getting to a more...'happy/realistic medium'.
Opposing views and designs CAN make us think & reevaluate. I've been slowly starting to understand that with my gynoid work with a DA'er I've been working with. He brought up the point, for example, that the gynoids would likely be referring to themselves by their serial numbers...I, up to that point, had been insisting that they would call each other by their human names. The more I THOUGHT about it, though, the more I thought HE was correct. Alien robots wouldn't be using human names, they WOULD be using numbers, it would be more natural for them...Besides, the numbers do the same things OUR names do...Identification. (Zor's gynoids SPLIT this, using both their human NAMES and serial numbers. ) But, just like anyone, I'm reluctant to stretch out of the comfort zone...One of the people on DA (he's left.), was into an...extreme bondage suit thing...where people were screwed into the suits and brainwashed...Running the suits on cum. I did help him with a few milder (fully suited) character designs. He had a comic in his gallery which had a LOT of this type of fetish, and he was looking for a better artist. (I think he was hoping he could nudge me into getting into the art type and, perhaps, doing the comic eventually)...I...declined, after we finished the suited characters, because that fetish area CREEPED. ME. THE. HELL. OUT.
I'll try to stretch myself in spurts, but there are limits...there are areas that are just Nopes...As aggressive as your Girls can be (conceptually and visually), I haven't yet had a visceral reaction to them anywhere like what I had with the 'suits'. The 'suits' were Nopes/No-Can-Do's, your girls were/are intriguing designs.

Re: Mechanesians...I'm surprised they haven't come up with 'patches', or re-writing their software to block the hacking/outside influences. They SHOULD be able to adapt in that FASTER than any hacker, since they ARE machines now. Hell, if they could mindlink with each other, they could make those updates even faster...
That is IF they are inclined to work with others of their own kind...

Wow. Yeah, I'm not sure I'd be going to read Blame!...I just GOOGLED it. It seems a bit too dark. The ART is very creative and interesting, however... THIS: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7… , for example.

I have played around with hardcore bdsm. I did try to write for the group Toreans once, but that group was a little bit too "male dominates female" oriented and a lot of what I saw in there I classified as abuse fantasies more than healthy dominance. And in one of the stories I wrote, there was a fictional drink made of fermented spunk...much to one of the main character's utter disgust.
I include fetish material in my work, partly because it's my kink and partly because it falls under the purview of dystopic themes. Because what is dystopia? It's suffering. Suffering often comes into play when humans start following a one-minded ideal that takes humanity out of the equation and reduces people to objects.
So what better way to make an example of humans being objects than to LITERALLY portray them as sex dolls? In my mind, it shows how easy it is to fall into the mindset. more often than not, the comments I get on my female characters pertain to how much that viewer wants to bang them.
Is this manipulation?
Hell yes.
It's easy as shit to get people to forget their humanity, and manipulating the male sex drive is by far the easiest way to do that.
-------
In the story centered around Mechanesian society, they are not a singular people. In one timeline they were created when two warring gods crashed into Earth, one in pre-colonial America and the other in Europe. Damus Syn was near fatally weakened and bestowed the Native Americans in his vicinity with a connection to him, and they were the first Mechanesians. Mechanesia in this context isn't very virulent, if at all. Humans can still be transformed, but it's not quite so forceful.
Seeing how this happened in Native America, the Native Americans came to possess new bodies but that did not mean that they formed a coherent nation. By the time the story starts, the East Coast is really the only "America" as we know it and it's only because it is a series of port towns that grew into cities.
In Infernum, Mechanesians are synthesized organisms to live on an alien planet, built from a human platform and adapted to a chemistry we can't utilize. They were also built first and foremost as mechanical soldiers. In this setting, mind hacking is a regular occurrence due to the heavy presence of more primitive cyborgs and data, identity, and monetary theft occurring over digital devices like computers and the future equivalent of phones.
In this context, Mechanesians are implied to be reverse engineered alien life forms. But since they're also built on people, people don't like having their brains connected to each other, so the neural network isn't utilized.
Mechanesians are simply NOT hive mind creatures, even though the potential for that exists. They are somewhat repulsed by collective ideals because they feel that their individuality is threatened more than any other subspecies of human, especially the ones on Infernum who were bred to be mechanical telepathically linked meat shields for a tyrant.

Looks more like something from Battlestar Galatica ie those Cylons exterior wise. Heh.

Yup, definitely a Cylon vibe. I wonder... did anyone do a "sexy cylon" in daz/poser format...
Very nice actually, though if they're not shiny chrome they'd be less cylon-like.

I could see them in glossy black. That could be intimidating...
