Artist's Comments

They were made in the image of man,
but They were never meant to replace our human race.

They were made to out last man
so what goes through Their minds in the vastness of space?



a mate of mine, ~Zhimber wanted a new image for his wall at home based on my cyborg style.
I came up with this self endulging piece, which at 1:1 scale, it's pretty detailed.
the work started about a month ago, at the start of August, and has been tended to between the hours of sleep and and daily life.

The intention is to exercise drawing the human form while being able to endulge in the details that cybernetics display. The forms are primarily male due to my fascination with them. Each [Cy]Borg has a backstory as to why they have ended up in this Recycling Depot (links below).

the poem and the picture together reminds me of Animatrix---the robots were rebelling their leaders and then the humans hunted the robots down, destroyed and piled them up.

this is indeed a fantastic picture. very detailed and i like the color, too. :D
:iconchagan:
I really didn't know what to make of it during the WIP stages- now I do. Absolutely brilliant, like always =)

thanks, the AniMatrix did influence me a fair bit.

it's such a real possibility in terms of the way society is heading with computers and electronic items. as soon as something hits the shelf these days, it's already old and depreciating rapidly to obsoletion.


i did want to convey that the Depot is actually a large floating magnetic sphere emitting an EMP field which keeps all the floating bits stuck on each other, but that was going to make the image far too huge, with too many elements. i need time to live as well.

funny, i thought the WIP stages were pretty clear ... oh well, i guess nothing translates well over this medium.

thanks for the compliment, but as always i push for more critical comments for improvement.

This is unbelievably cool. Things like this make me glad I get to do print approval. The level of detail is astounding as is the use of color to create a somber tone. It really gives the feeling of being tossed on the scrapheap. And the rhythm of the piece is brilliant as well. It just flows together. Very good work.

thanks for the compliment Lolly ;)

you should have enjoyed looking thru the 13.7 MB file I uploaded then :P

(if you read the backstories [other associated devs] of each of the Borgs, it adds to the image)

heh, yup.

it does seem we are taking a risk in improving technology these days..we'll be doomed if a robot would think they could replace us... x_x
:iconhey-poo-guy:
*Squints at piece in full-view*... Uh... must.. find... problems... but... CAN'T!! Aaaaaaah!!

Amazing work yet again. :clap: I could really see the influences in this piece. It was cool how the robots' muscles almost looked similar to human muscles... as if man almost succeeded in creating robots in their own image, just not enough for them to escape the Recycling depot. Love the coloring and the different positions the robots are in. I'm going to check out the different stories now, :D--well, after I fave this, of course, :XD: :)
