After doing a few sketches I think I have something I finally like. Just posting an update.

I'll try to get a character sheet of her done by next weekend.

Expanding on this idea, I wanted to add a fallen war machine, which in fact was my first idea for a cyborg, but I didn't feel like it was working for the main character, so I decided to add it as a secondary character instead.

So here is the first idea I came out with, which is now going to be my dead war machine character

Just wanted to show some of my work in progress.

Nice progress here! your four-legged character looks much better imo. Other one with three legs with wheels looks also good, original idea of wheeled legs, but i think he/she is not looking strong enough. Keep going!
btw. spider-legged character looks like a cyborg since it has a human body in it, maybe turning the body into a fully metal body could solve it.

Hi,

Thanks for the feed back. I know the wheeled cyborg looks weak right where the legs hit the wheels. You're the second person to tell me that, I will see what I can come up with. It's going to be tricky though because I want it to remain female looking, so I'm going for a more slim, stream lined look...

Hi all,

I started to add a splash of a color to my idea and a little detail, mainly to the wheeled cyborg. I've also been thinking about adding some small mechanical spiders to the imagine, just kinda clambering around over stuff. It also crossed my mind to get some flying bots in the sky.

More to come...

I decided to change direction a little with my idea and also rethink my color palette, so I've gone back to black and white for now.

The big spider dude was not really working, so I got rid of him and added some small spider droids instead. I also changed the background completely.

Ok so this is my last concept before I color it. I am feeling that its all going to be about the coloring now, I do still have a character modeling sheet to do which will come soon.

I have a story brewing as well. its to do with the little spider bots being a kind of incubation droid for young machine conciousness. They inhabit these small nimble forms while they are being taught the ways of the machine people - think of them as children, the future of the machine race. The machine city, one of their last remaining hidden locations in under attack and the female cyborg escaped with a brood of young machines housed in these small learning bots, she takes a last look back...
