Augmented by RYO.Z

the beginning of a project that I had in my mind for a pretty long time. It took me a It took me a long time to realize what i had in mind and how I to put that on paper or digitally. From today on, this project will start off with: series of portraits of people that I know or friends and family. These portraits have been illustrated in a new form of how I like to create and visualize a world of an automated world. These Illustrations of the people have been deformed in a way that machine and technology have been replacing parts of their body, so called (PROJEKT:Augmented by RYO.Z) These body modifications express the strength of themselves and their characteristics, skills and behavior. I also added some fictional elements to spice up the illustrations.

This project is the beginning of showcasing my art style and of course the journey to develop and express this form of illustrating that I love. It is also the beginning of creating a new world and stories about people that live in an automated world, where body modifications are a must to survive as civilized human beings in this cyberpunk like world. These illustrations that I portray of existing people, is a preview of what people would be like and live in this type of an environment in the world that I am trying to create.
