Osteoborg 3 (Robot 43)
An Osteoborg is a sort of bone-robot, a truly surreal machine. The upper portion of this creature is an irregular mass of cubes composed of a bone-like material. The lower portion is a conglomeration of robot or zooborg (animal-machine) parts. This creature must have had machine ancestors but now is self-sustaining and integrated into its desert environment. The biological organisms that created the technologies that this life form now uses have been extinct for eons. If the landscape shown here is of a distant-future Earth, then it would appear that Gaia has taken what she needs from us for her great work of creation, and then washed us away with her great eraser, time.
This drawing was done entirely by hand with graphite on Bristol board (as with all my work). Calculations of transforms and planar projections were done by hand or using slide rules and/or various other archaic analog techniques.
