Really cool, especially the bloodshot floaty eyeballs. I have no idea how the hell this machine works, but I still love it!

Oh my. Such detail, and yet I never want to meet one.

I love the concept but I think that it would be a boring existance for he or she to have, considering the cybernetics lack tools to manipulate the enviroment. Like hands or even something like a plow if it is a slave.
It's very different, i have never seen a steampunk cyborg before. Good work.

It reminds me of the film, The City of Lost Children.

Hey, the gramaphone speaker is just a cop out.
Either that, or a harpsicord of some sort, but the Steam-Powered Pipe Organ seems more appropriate!

...that's true, actually.
And great job, here! I've seen this before... don't remember where.

I finally had to fav this, I keep coming back to it.
I've been working on a mecha-brain sculpture for a while, and love what you've done with the concept.

What an elegantly bizarre device. I think I would like one in the corner of my living room.

Thank you! If you would like one for your home, I am taking orders but you must provide your own orgainc matter.

Oh my. Oh my oh my oh my.
I never thought I could say this about a brain in a jar, but WOW.
On a semi related note, have you ever seen "The City of Lost Children"? Your brain-a-ma-bob reminds me of Uncle... but COOLER!!

Thanks! It is actually a self portrait...
Although I have not seen "The City of Lost Children" in years, I consider it to very influential to my work. Visually speaking, I am also a big fan of "Brazil" and "12 Monkeys".

This reminds me of Promus-Kaa's steampunk Dalek. With a few alterations this could be the steampunk Davros, creator of The Daleks! [link]

I AM DAV-ROS AND I COULD EAS-I-LY SEE MY-SELF LOO-KING LIKE THIS!

Wow. That's all I can say right now. Wow.
I think my favourite part must be either the brain or the gears... but you did a wonderful job on the whole thing. I think that the Copic blender is used very well, and the bits of rust really complete the piece. I would never be able to think of something like this, much less actually draw it

In addtion to being a steam powered cybernetic life support system it also functions as a Geroge Forman Grill and detal floss despencer.

What a curious little machine, I wonder what it does? Great technical drawing!

I once used it to calculate the answer to the meaning of life....but then it fried it. Turned out rather tasty, however.

Thank goodness for Photshop for fixing the marker bleed. The original is not as crisp. I appricate you looking.

This is definitely something I've not seen the likes of before. I like how it looks so inhuman, and yet it is a cyborg and not just a machine because there is a human inside of it. I also like all the detail, especially the rust spots. This picture looks like a very complete/final/professional product, the result of all the other work you've done in your gallery.

Thanks for picking up on that. Most of my other works are tests and studies. I am trying to spend more time and effort on rendering. I hope to someday become a professional and work hard every day. This piece took more time to plan and sketch than it did to render. I am learning pre-production and planning is the key to good work.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my work!
