Project 2 / Part B

CYBORG
A contraction of "cybernetic organism", is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. In science fiction, the most recognizable portrayal of a cyborg is a human being with visibly mechanical parts . It is common for cyborgs to have physical or mental abilities beyond what humans are capable of. They may have super strength, enhanced senses, computer-assisted brains, or built-in weaponry.

Conceptual :
- I roughly sketched three idea for my cyborg project. For sketch 1 idea, I imagined my body to a thin robot because I have a little belly and I always wish to have a slim and healthy body shape like a model but it's really difficult to keep fit and exercise everyday. So I sketched out two of my imagination as the first one is a little bit cool and simple with a mechanic spine and an eye at my stomach. For the second idea is a cute design with a face as my heart that will show out my emotion and feelings .

- Face is the most noticeable part at a first glance, so I sketched half of my face only because there are some pimples at left part of my face and I can covered it with the mechanical to make it more perfect . I also designed a big gearwheel as an eye because I wish to have a big eyes since young.

- I'm not a creative and brilliant human, my brain often stuck when I'm trying to figure out something. The idea of sketch 3 is a mechanical brain with many gearwheel connected together so it can works better and think faster .Other than that, I'm very difficult to stay focus on something for long time, so I design a big ear for myself to stay concentrate on every sound I've heard.

I decided to use sketch 1 idea for this project. As Mr. Martin feedback, we have to add a background to show out the figure. For the idea of sketch 1 is to solve my body shape problem and have a model body. I wish I can eat high calories foods everyday without growing fat, so I decided to take a picture of myself in the kitchen.

Lecturer's Feedback:

Lightning is good but the part that want to edit was too small. Need to take a new picture that are wearing a sport bra and a brighter colour pant so it won't overlay with the background. The kitchen should have some food to express the conceptual of the picture.
