SciFi and Fantasy Art: Homo Modernus Technologicus

I agree, it's only a matter of time before we are using technology to enhance the performance of the human machine. I like this though it lacks the detail and careful shading you are so clearly capable of. Maybe it's better this way.

Yes, it is very scary to know that technology rules us. Perhaps when we realize the true reality is in the mind, we will achieve an enlightenment. I love this foreshadowing of the human race. It's science fiction that could very easily become a science fact. Nice job.

Sorry, I got focused on the comments & forgot to add my comment about the pic. Very simplistic & yet detailed. The feeling is dark though, as if the implants are there to restrict behavior. As long as we make the decisions for our lives computers only help us organize our time. Never let the computer take over as ruler.

Does technology rule us, or do we rule technology? I'm all for computers helping to run our daily lives as long as we have control, it lessens the amount of small annoyances that we have to deal with as well as increasing efficiency in the way we, as humans, do things. The day computers rule over us is the day that all humanity will be lost.

Tim, don't put such revealing pictures of me on the internet! Very cool. This reminds me. The scary thing is that my brain shuts down when I don't have my Palm Pilot. This state of technology may be closer than we think!

I agree. Computers run our lives more than we think. Refrigerators, microwaves, electric stoves, cell phones. We would be lost w/o our technology. The lack of detail is also symbolic. With more and more technological stuff taking over our lives we lose more and more of ourselves.

The darkness is swarming around these comments! I feel as if, for some reason, our venture into space will change us. We will colonize other planets (Sol, our Sun, only has 22 billion years left in it, heh) and due to those planet's conditions we will become entirely different beings during our evolution on them, and Homo Sapiens will become far more diverse than they are now. Technology is a big part of this. Yes, we could survive without technology, but only those of us who have not forgotten our past, and only those of us who see the world as it is, and only those of us who are not afraid. We are at a point in our evolution when something pivital must happen if we are to save ourselves. We are at a fork in the road, and arguing over which is the right way. We can change our technology to save ourselves, progress it as it is to destroy ourselves, or abandon it and become as we once were with the knowledge of today. Terry Brooks comes to mind for each of those choices, no?

Not as much shading as the others. Could use a little more..heh..depth..and I don't me mental!! I mean visual. I love the other pictures..this seems like something done during a lull in math-class compared to the others!

Doesn't it seem a little ironic that you use a computer to tell the world that you think computers are taking over the world? Just something to think about for your next work, oh, and by the way, i really like and respect that you say exactly what you want people to think about your drawings, so many people refuse to say what is in their hearts. Bravo.
