One of those cyborg arms you may choose as your companion arm for the future where humans and humanoids are none existent. It looks like the parts come from a machine shop of irregular and surplus mechanical parts, assembled to create this powerful arm. A science fiction wherein one creates a fantasy world out of people’s body parts.

This is the marriage of biomechanical surrealism and hyper surrealism in one unbelievably stunning creation. It is picture perfect. A great choice for a machine arm wherein the details have been lovingly illustrated, shaded and texturized.

The monochromatic shades of brown give it a warm appeal that is not present in other machine pieces. It looks vintage with the way it is shaded and blended. The background has texture because of the intricate shading of highlights and lowlights with the added shadow details, because of the light perspective.

Now, that’s when this piece started breathing. The intricate placement of the shadows on the inside of the gaping hole of the arm, looks like being in a lighted tunnel. Then, slowly the layers reveal themselves from one layer of metal to the other.

The top two layers were given textures, too. There are cogs and gears, screws, coiled protective metals and of course, the ripped skin. It is indeed amazing to match the whole piece according to the skin tone of the owner, making it realistic but scary.

This powerful, heavy metal concept looks literally heavy. It is done in gray and black, for a classic and timeless aesthetic.

This is a great tribute piece to the tattoo artist whose arm is a well-oiled machine, grinding everyday for extra-long hours to create pieces he and his client can be proud of. The ink caps serve as ink dispensers when the artist is in his creative zone.

The tattoo gun is his most priced possession which is usually personalized and custom made to fit the hand of the artist, style and purpose. It takes so much to be part of an industry where there are already too many greats before you. It takes a good, strong and passionate heart to get up, do the daily grind, then repeat. It takes discipline and clear vision of who you want to become.
