Oi, Dak. I think someone stole yer skin. .w.

:V At least it's not too hard on the eyes without.

ya know what they say, if it doesn't hurt it can be sexy :>

YUP. Usually at least. XD

Oh man.

=P I figured you'd like them.

Quite possibly!

<3

Missing some HARDware there. :V

I HAVE A VERSION WITH IT. So shush. *Baps*

looks like a crysis suit!

*Bats at* XD

whaaaat? <3 I like it

=p I know. Hehe.

whats a crystal suit?

Crystal Suit? XD

so mean :P ill draw sooooo much porn of us itll flood FA

Lawls. XD

im gonna draw you gettin knocked up by me if you dont behave :P

=P I'm not behaving? And I'm pretty sure Dak can't get knocked up. XD

i have this program i got that i secretly downloaded into you that simulates getting pregnant :P muwhahahaha

and yes youre behaving :P

Haha. XD It's not that easy to hack into Dak's stuff. =P Silly thing.

Dakvagoo recognizes semen, runs an algorithmic check... Woolah~ Pregnant dragonewt. Or, at least simulated pregnancy. Maybe an android phone will pop out when you give birth.

Neat Dak. Very nice muscle-work.

Thanks. ^^ I had someone compliment me on it. And they've seen RL muscles without skin on, lawls. XD

I love everything about this!

Especially the joints, looks like an anatomy and engineering lesson at the same time.

Hehe. Thanks. ^^ It's really good practice at musculature.

It's grape twislers, all the way down.

Fuck you, I'm fabulous. :V

It looks... I dunno... Cumbersome seems weird.

Also, given it being cybernetic, is there a purpose for them to look like actual muscles? I would think that being cybernetics, they wouldn't need to look like... Well, anything, if you know what I mean

Cumbersome? Maybe a tad. =P I think I drew them a bit bulkier than I should have.

Cybernetics can look like lots of things, they're basically mechanical prosthesis' in this case. The reason they look like actual muscle is because it's supposed to mimic the musculature structure, so when he has skin over it it looks organic. The skin is thick enough that it doesn't create odd shapes because of the metal, wires or tubes. So the reason they look like actual muscle is mostly for vanity sake, otherwise he wouldn't look 'normal' when he had his skin over top of it. It does have a more hard metal chassis under it.

Hm. I dunno. personally, I would go for an efficient look. But I've just got a thing for everything looking extremely efficient. I would say the chassi could be thinner and lighter, with a bulkier Epidermis, one that has the muscle tone "built in" so it would deal with hiding the wires tubes and such, and its still got the musculature structure mimiced.

There's not much you can do to make a super thin chassis have a musculature. You'll still need something that somewhat mimics the shape of a normal human body underneath, unless you have like 3-4 inches or more thickness of the skin, which wouldn't bend or flex in the same way. Unless you have a working musculature built into the skin as you said. In that case it's the same as this, just the skin and muscles are part of the same thing rather than separate.

Dak's cybernetics are kinda a hybrid of combat and casual use, so they need some bulk to them, and they are made with light enough materials that he's still pretty fast. The muscles actually can absorb impact, somewhat similar to Kevlar, because his base skeleton is made of lightweight metals for more speed, so while it is durable it's more fragile then most other metals. So they aren't just there for no reason. Though as I said, I think I made them a tad more bulky then they should've been.

I didn't say SUPER thin, especially if they are used in combat. I just said efficient ^_^;

Ah well. XD It is still efficient for what it's used for, just doesn't look the part. =P

Oh, very nice

Thanks. ^^

^^; Good interesting?

Awesome. =P

great work dood. like...insanely great anatomy. i can tell you practiced....therefor, you must be destroyed.

Destroy me harder. :V Haha. Thanks hun. ^^

Looks pretty awesome. I love seeing these kinds of pics of cyborgs without their skins

Thanks! And yeah, I have one without his face too, but I think that's a little creepy for most people. XD Then I'm working on a picture of his Chassis as well, but I doubt that'll be posted.

I'd love to see either of those.

Hehe. Well. I'll see if I post any of the other versions. =P

Arguably, Crysis' Nanosuit is itself based on actual human muscle. Heck, how else is your body going to be life-like and move with a flowing gait if you don't have a synthetic form that best replicates natural forms? Motoko Kusanagi wouldn't have her nice body if she went for something else... unless you're flesh grown over an actuated metal endoskeleton, as in the case of the T-800. :]

Still lovely. I like my cyborgs lithe and squishy. I wonder if he can float or swim too?

Yeah. I'm sure his bodyweight for his normal cybernetics aren't heavy enough to cause too many issues with swimming, they're more made for speed and agility over strength. XD He has his battle gear if he wants that.

The convenience of a powered exoskeleton. You can put it on or take it off, rather than have it inside and weigh you down or eat up your energy reserves when not in use. :)
