Entirety tech- Tyfon's prosthetics

FamiliarAlien

And here you see an image that was suppose to be done almost 2 months ago but had to go on the back burner due to my terrible health! I'm serious this was suppose to be the part 2 of Tyfon's character sheet and that was posted in late October.

That whining aside Tyfon is the most complicated character design I have, a little ramble about it I guess: when I designed them originally my idea was to design them before the whole injury thing happened then add what that would look like. I didn't want them to come off as looking bland originally because it would feel like a weird "you were destined to lose part of your face to a incident involving a rocket launcher" thing.

Anyway as such they needed a secondary ref for the actual prosthetic they have. I added a few written descriptions to the image but I tried to keep it mostly as illustrations so hopefully most everything is legible.
The short version is as weird as the prosthetic eye looks it does basically does almost nothing special except being able to spot heat signatures, this is decently useful but not 100% of the time because several people species in my sci fi are cold blooded.

The prosthetic arm went through a massive revamp from the last time I kinda went over it on Tyfon's super old ref. It now goes through a little transformation sequence that's a bit more coherent so I can illustrate how it works a bit more easily. Also didn't address it in writing on the image but you can see in one of the little sketches that Tyfon does have a little bit of their actual right arm still remaining. Its just a stump with some little connectors sticking out so the prosthetic can lock in place.

As a last point I kinda fixed the fact that originally Tyfon was drawn with a default ginaga chest in their original reference sheet, they actually have a lean muscular build. They don't really even need the whole blaster arm its really overkill for a person that probably could kick most everyone's ass already lmao

So enjoy!

    neat! looks like a really bad dude!
    hey don't discount a perfectly functional prosthetic eye, it's beyond anything we can do today, also human-level vision isn't something to brush off, biologically it's better than a number of species, just less specialized. Also, a less-than-lethal concealed ranged weapon is extremely useful, in the right situations. depends on what your goal is, but it's a far more "surgical" tool than a lot of potential alternatives! Hardly redundant.

      apologies for the late reply D: Thank you, they are indeed a pretty bad dude xP.
      Yes that's a very good point you made on the eye! I mean what I said more in a sense of "its a lot more mundane than most sci fi tech" but in comparison to real life technology its pretty darn fancy. Also yes its always nice to have a lot going for you in a fight, Tyfon tends to only use the blaster when they have to hit something at a distance, when up close they tend to depend on melee to get the job done.
