This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Yeah I don't know either about cyber-implants, you would literally carve away your flesh to replace it with machinery. (In Shadowrum you would actually lose essence of your self until you become a cyberzombie, or in Cyberpunk you would eventually become a Cyberpyscho just the same) My fear would be that you would simply lose sensory input in that given area.
The Despair is clearly on display in this artpiece, love how the rain gives this misty aura around her head, but I am not convinced about the droplets on her skin, wouldn't they form teardrops?
Yeah they would, I was trying to make it convincing without painting each individual droplet. This is my first attempt at it and not really sure it lands. Maybe at a macro level but it falls apart close up.
And that's exactly how I feel about it. And I like the way both fictional worlds handle it. My first exposure was Rifts which to my knowledge has no impact on the character. But it always freaked me out.
Johnny Mnemonic and Ghost in the Shell for example were both great and creepy for that reason. Totally cool and bothers me at the same time.
Johnny Mnemonic... I really should get that Movie in whatever capacity as physical media. Not just because I love Keanu Reeves, but it was such a classic Cyberpunk Scenario (Hello William Gibson) and that fricking Dolphin!
you will get there, I am sure of it! Its poignant as it is already!
Oh so good! And yes the dolphin was mind blowing the first time watching it.
And it just means I need to focus on rain at some point and do a series on it. Just like I struggled with hair, hands, skin, and everything else. Just gotta practice it out of me 😁
I like how your mind works, and love how it plays!
Thank you!
Always a pleasure.
You did fine. Johnny Mnemonic completely tempered a naïveté in my view of cybernetics.
How so?
Well, I only used to think of positive applications and ramifications; I thought surely no human would allow conditions that create rampant misuse, or abuse, and guidelines would naturally arise to curb or mitigate any harmful potentials, despite already having seen how humans in uh... suboptimal environments behave. I was yet unaware that humans in optimal environments could behave as abhorrently, or worse. And we, the masses, don't really get to see the goings-on behind oak doors with leaded glass, do we?
Great points, and no we don't. I'm closer to that room now than ever, and I still don't know.
Not even all the inhabitants do, often times.
My best to you and your lovely family.
And to you too!
Grazie.
