Painter 9.5 and Photoshop CS3

I had a class assignment where I had to present a character concept. Since I already had the character from my dream, I figured I'd finally name him, flesh him out, and expand upon his history a bit.

I was worried my teacher would ask all sorts of detailed questions like what metal the characters arms were made of, so I actually did a bunch of research on Titanium, which alloy is commonly used, what its properties are...etc. Titanium's a pretty spiffy metal. Apparently you can change its color to nearly any color in the rainbow by dipping it in a special solution and running a current through it.

I also ended up doing a little research on prosthetic limbs. All that stuff about sensors and wireless devices implanted in the muscles sounds like crazy sci-fi talk, but its actually something that's being done right now in the current age. I read it up in an article.

Kinda crazy how far we're progressing, isn't it?
