Machine Flesh: Human Touch (My really late entry) Photoshop December 2007
Share This
My really, reeeeaally late machineflesh entry from the cgtalk challenge a few years ago. Due to work and stuff I never took it past the sketch stage until last month.
The original story from the challenge is:
Toren's wife DiNaala, an experienced waste management controller, was accidently exposed to multiple types of radiogenic waste during an explosion aboard her vessel. She suffered irreparable damage to over 90 percent of her body. Barely alive, DiNaala was rescued from the damaged freighter and had most of the more highly contaminated portions of her body amputated. Her husband pleaded with the local Waste Control Union to allocate funds toward rebuilding DiNaala's body with a experimental new robotic procedure. The Union Committee scoffed at the idea and deemed Toren's wife's accident an occupational hazard. Fearing he would soon lose her forever, Toren assembled what funds he could raise so that he and DiNaala could travel to the medical station in high orbit above their planet for the operation to begin.
This scene depicts the moment when the pressure sensors of her upper torso became active so that DiNaala could once again experience human touch.
I'll be posting the line drawing and details too if this makes it to the forum gallery
