Description
"Perfection is at hand. You have been freed of weakness and made compleat." - Sheoldred the whispering oneA "Pseudo" Magic: The Gathering Fanart.
Phyresis is the name of the process when an infected being turns into a phyrexian.
Phyrexians are biomechanical horrors from the multiverse who serve the so called "father of the machines".
The phyrexian believe that the flesh is a curse and a natural defect and only those blessed by their glistening black oil produced in their bodies may reach the perfection.
Such contact with the oil triggers the phyresis.
On the process, an organic being's body begins to develop metallic traces, deforming and altering their bodies and mind. Once corrupted the victim becomes full fledged Phyrexian aberrations.
Mecanical beings like golems and "robot-like" creatures actually seem to be able to be infected as well, in their case the process is inverse as they begin to develop organic features, mostly sinews and muscles to enhance their strengh, and in some cases weird organs.
The phyrexians seek to further enhance their so called "perfection" by grafting mecanical and organic "parts". Anything goes, from limbs, to organs and glands. It depends how you wish to be "enhanced".
Their final form end up as bio-mechanical horrors of indescritible appearance.

Nice... but dont forget as long as there is no metal on the body they cannot be corrupted
ie Melira

Yeah thats something it wasn't so clear for me. I don't know if melira's immunity to phyresis is because there's no metal in her body OR Because she was born with some kind of "immunity to metal" and that would be the reason even natural metal couldn't grown in her.
I still believe in the second one, but who knows? Also if phyresis only affects fleshy-mettalic organisms then the other races of the multiverse would be immune and phyrexia wouldn't be so much of a threat after all. Sorry Esper, you are still being corrupted in this scenario xD

Actually, if you read the "Planeswalker's Guide to New Phyrexia," Melira is immune to the Mycosynth particles that grafted metal onto all of Mirrodin's inhabitants. The Mirran's distrust of people without metal in their bodies led her to be outcast from the Sylvok as an infant. Thrun, the Last Troll thought she might have a key roll in Mirrodin's future, and took her in. When the Phyrexians began their invasion, the two of them discovered Melira was immune to Phyrexian oil as well.
...And now everyone will think I am a gigantic nerd who has far too much time on his hands.

Hahaha awesome! You're not alone I'm a lore-whore as well xD.
That info I really didn't had. Thanks for making it clear.
Everything makes sense now.

I love how this looks--it's so deep and meaningful. The look of sorrow on this lady's face far surpasses the robotic parts she now possesses, shows that she's still got real mettle in there, somewhere. I love the lines on her face--they look a little like tears.
Awesome stuff.

To shine some light on the lines on her face, to a certain degree they actually are tears. One of the trademark traits of developing phyresis is that the oil starts being produced by the body and begins leaking out of various openings, usually in the head. This is most commonly seen in the eyes.
At least, that's assuming Silverhyren was going for that in particular. Regardless, it's definitely one of the better phyresis images I've come across. Good work, there!

A composição das cores também, ficou muito harmonioso!
A textura do braço ficou incrível, dá vontade de passar a mão para ver se é de verdade. Esses detalhes devem ter dado bastante trabalho, mas mostrou uma evolução enorme nas suas técnicas. ^^
