Title: Cybergirl
Name: Zuzana Mikušová
Country: Slovakia
Software: Photoshop

I present Cybergirl as a creature called homunkulus. This girl is a ghost in the shell, a human ghost in artificial body. She is holding a traditional japanese kabuki mask in front of her face. Her face remains human. She represents the fusion of human and mecha world.

Done in Photoshop CS3 using Wacom Intuos tablet with some references to jeans.

Comments are welcome.

This is a very cool image. Aside from being sexy, which it is, I interpret it as the desire that many people seem to have to "artificialize" themselves. This can be taken as either a reaction to an increasingly technological world that requires us to become machines, or in a more positive light as a desire to reinvent ourselves on our own terms.

It looks to me as if the girl is trying out faces, looking for the right mask to complete her transformation (at least outwardly) to a machine.

Maybe I am reading more into it than intended, but that is what it makes me think of.

Wow, did you help to achieve such light & shadows with a photography? I use it sometimes to help myself with correct lightning when I draw. Because it is so perfectly done, I could mistake it for photograpy. That hand, feet and jeans are just amazing! :bowdown:

Thanks, the only photographic reference is to folds on jeans, but the lights were done in Photoshop step by step - I can say, it took some time to make cybergirl look like that :)

nicely done indeed. great render of lights. mayby the hoses and artif-elements should have been more precise but it works for me that way too.
keep it up, cheers!

It's been a long time since I last saw a painting that was simple but still reflected the artist's great technique and concept, like this!!!

4 stars.
