Wanted to draw something that celebrates everything I love about Toriyama's artwork - the fun, joy and sense of adventure in every drawing. His art never fails to make me smile.
Sayonara Toriyama - thank you for everything you gave us!

can augmented humans have more than 4 limbs?
If they've been good then yes, as a treat.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall came out ten years ago today! Well the original DLC version for Shadowrun Returns did anyway, which meant the first appearances of best girls Glory and Eiger. The Director's Cut came out in September so I'll probably draw something around then as well.

Hello, how are doing?
I was curious on what was your first introduction into cyberpunk and fantasy?
Hi! I'm doing alright thanks.
It feels like I've been around fantasy stuff my whole life so its hard to pinpoint an exact point of entry, but when I think of my earliest fantasy memories I think of: Labyrinth, Willow, Neverending Story, Golden Axe, Gauntlet, Betrayal at Krondor, He-Man and Pirates of Dark Water.
My first exposure to cyberpunk on the other hand I can be more precise: my brother and I saw a trailer for the Blade Runner adventure game on a demo disc and asked our mum if we could get it. She was a big fan of the movie so she rented it (the theatrical cut no less) for us to watch before we got the game. That was my introduction to cyberpunk, though I didn't know what that was at the time - it wasn't until around university that I really started to develop a love for it.

Good morning! I hope you've been well.
First off, I love your art! I am curious about something though. In trying to design my own cyberpunk / shadowrun characters, when it comes to the joints on prosthesis, specifically the shoulder joint's connection with the body. How do you imagine that? For some reason I get caught up on how the bulky shoulders I see on some designs would be limited with regard to movement because it would just get in the way. I keep telling myself not to worry about it. Rule of cool reigns supreme! ... but my anatomy brain is fighting against the rule of cool XD.
Thank you! That is a good question - there is nothing wrong with wanting to draw practical looking cyborg limbs of course, though personally speaking I try not to think too hard about it and just draw whatever looks neat. If I do want a cybernetic limb to look feasible I'll usually draw the limb with the joints and muscle groups blocked out first and then reverse-engineer the cybernetics from that.
Otherwise studies and reference are my best advice, stuff like manufacturing machinery, soft robotics and even bug/insect limbs can be great inspiration for how a prosthetic might look and move. And always remember that you don't have to show how it works - from an angle it might not be clear how a joint functions but the imagination will fill in the gaps.
Hope that helps!

1 augmented human can be the top of a human pyramid if the other 5 have enough SCHOOL SPIRIT!

Your photography is beautiful! Lots of creative angles and inspiring shots of your time in japan. Especially love the one of the island in your nagoya shots where it feels like you're just surrounded by blue from the sky & sea and the fish frames in your latest
Thank you! Fortunately skills like thinking visually and finding good compositions are useful in both illustration and photography - of course some places like Yaotomi Shrine are just so inherently beautiful its hard to take a bad picture. I'll take my digital camera next time, I usually leave it home because it's harder to get the images off but it does take nicer pics.

Are robot parts heavy because they're made of metal or light because they're made with advanced science? Like could somebody with all 4 limbs artificial be on top of a human pyramid?
It can go either way really, it depends on how much verisimilitude the setting is going for. Making them heavier is cool and adds a lot of weight (ha ha) to the concept - could an augmented person be on the top of a human pyramid? Would they have to take the stairs instead of the elevator? Would they require special classes of vehicle for travel? Special clothing?
But that is also more work and I prefer to keep things simple, generally speaking when I draw a cyborg character I imagine their artificial components to weigh around the same or only a little more than their organic equivalents.

What's skaterpunk? Precisely?
Things like The Offspring, NOFX, Goldfinger - stuff you'd find on a good THPS soundtrack.
