Miraculously, I'm not actually behind in my Inktobers, just behind in posting! Please bear with me, this gets a little exhausting...

Detail shot of a character that appeared/was created in dreams of mine earlier this year (this happens a lot doesn't it?) in a recurring science fiction setting that I have not given a name to or fleshed out enough consciously. I get bits and pieces though and I did at least develop Ulysses here enough, although I'm going to draw and post up a proper concept/bio in a different submission. These aren't his finalized colors; more of a tonal map to clarify details than anything (although the color of substance in his tubes are correct).This will go on a reference sheet eventually with proper annotation and explanation, but for now a nutshell description should suffice: Ulysses is an almost completely refurbished and rebuilt cyborg due to extensive trauma he sustained from a disaster with a classified scientific experiment on a distant moon. His cybernetic and biotic suite is unique in that he runs almost entirely off of an intricate system of nanite hives in a specialized nutrient gel dubbed "nanoglobin."

There's a whole hell of a lot more to it than that, but as I said this submission was not meant for a proper dissertation, just as a detail and possibly "teaser" image I guess. Plus I thought inking all of that would be fun and appropriate for Inktober. See, I can do sci-fi! It just takes me forever....

Done with Prismacolor markers (some on their last legs) and pigment liners. Character and concepts are my intellectual property.
