Description
My style fits well with cyborg themes and I would call my first attempt here a success.I really liked the pose from this reference image. It seemed very, stern and strong, yet feminine. I tried to figure out how to retain those elements while also, doing what I do best, enhancing the image into something different.
As for the name, AmalgaMATE, it means to mix two things to make them one. I see that here as being the merger between technology and humanity. And, I suppose, you could also see this as being sexual in nature but that's a metaphor for another day.

I totally LOVE this piece - from the technical point... your style and her eyes... oh my gosh... her eyes! `miskis

Amazing! But I am so glad you showed how you arrived at the final piece because it makes me think I could give that kind of thing a try too (of course it would not look even close to the perfection you have here!) But it really is inspirational and I love it! Your digital colouring skills are incredible. A true master.

Absolutely amazing work..! If you haven't already, you should definitely consider doing a tutorial or two to teach basics of how this can be done.

I want to understand!..
So you cut out a little below her waist, then you started drawing over her..
There's no tracing involved, you just drew over her?
Would that be considered photo manipulation?

HI! I want to learn, please tell me, the robotics - were they drawn over the reference? And your other pieces, the skin and hair looks perfect, were they also drawn over or were they resulted in applying some effects only?
