Project 2 Cyborg

week 7 - 9 (29.05.20 - 11.06.20)

Link for Lectures on Cyborg Project

week 6, week 7

This project is to add mechanical elements to each students portrait photos and make them into cyborgs using Adobe Photoshop by using methods that were learnt through out exercises that were done.

Sketches

01 Sketch

Idea was to make the chin and cheek all metal and some white lighted elements on forehead and below the eyes. The eyes would glow in bright green lights and there would be lines across the face dividing the face which would enhance cyborg appearance 

02 Sketch

The design derived from Joker from the movie Joker. Jokers main feature as the clown make up designs been implemented such as blue make up around the eye and red paint on the mouth. The face consists of several metal plates which leaves black lines where the plates meets. 

03 Sketch

Full body sketch where the cyborg would be wearing casual clothes. Also carries similar features of the face with other sketches but with different design. Red wires connected around the shoulders and two connected downwards from the red machine attached to the chest. Intention was to give blood circulation through the machine parts.

Photo to be used for this exercise.

For the final outcome, my idea is to make a cyborg taking a selfie in cyberpunk environment. The background would be changed to buildings with cyan pink and blue lights. Cyborg would have mechanical elements on the face with lighting.

Progress

Rationale 

The final outcome has well interpreted the cyberpunk visual. the background and the machine parts blended in well together overall. the cyan pink and blue really helped to bring out the cyberpunk visual and the lighting effects brought out more sci-fi appearance. The eyes and the crystal on the forehead gave some subtle light which helped it more to bring out the cyborg.
