The brief requested that we design concepts of the future of humans once technology advances enough for robotics to merge with the human
anatomy.

 

In the sketch below, I just experiemented with super rough silhouettes. Each is in a dynamic pose of some sort, these are the 'bones' to the concept design.

Again, being inspired by the sketches above, I then moved onto quickly painting basic tones and values. I also cleaned up a few poses with cybernetic 'attachments'.

Finally, after sketching for a few hours just to get the basic idea of anatomy, I chose a pose and stuck to it. I then used a darker brush to work in the detail lines. From there, I gave the whole image some values to work with shadows and lighting. I set that layer to multiply and then move on to apply an underpaint that will consist of the white and gold trim. Lastly, I then created a new layer on top of all the previous layers and begun to use the eyedropper tool to select similar tones and painted the shadows and highlights (depending on material).
