One day she'll accept the trade-off, losing a piece of her humanity. She'll look back and see the wisdom in it. But not today. Today she just wants back what she's lost. (Oh this better, updated last sentence: Today she screams.)

As much as I like cybernetics and media with it, I don't want it. I have a few irrational fears, this is one. The other is finding a toilet in a dream and using it.

Every other entry in this series has been at peace with or loved the trade-off. But I wouldn't and when I saw the reference image I knew exactly what I was going to paint with it. Someone tortured with the choice.

I also love Fredrik Backman, Bear Town is one of my all time favorites. The way he gets me to feel emotions with his words is something else. So the blurb above is my attempt in his style.

Thoughts? Also is the rain convincing?

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!

Maybe at a macro level but it falls apart close up.

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!

Art Share🎨

7913 readers

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.
