CoffeeToffee - Cypres Borg Sprite

[CoffeeToffee]

BYOND Key: CoffeeToffee

Discord Username: NeverOddOrEven#8008

Character Name: Cypres

Item Name: Segment-Loader

Item Function(s): A flexible, high precision cyborg model.

Item Description: (Borgs flavor text) "This cyborg sports a nameplate engraved with "Cypres".  Its segmented arms twist and bend to preform its tasks with great precision."

Why is your character bringing this item to work?: It is their body.

How did your character obtain this item?: They were simply placed into this body to test its utility in the field.

What value does this item have to your character, and what story does it tell?: Seeing as it is their method of locomotion, they value their body greatly. Their creator inspired by the flexibility of movement seen in snakes and eels. The focus of the model relies heavily on the arms, so much so that the legs are left a bit neglected, simple and slender, which begs the question of how it balances such a top-heavy design. It turns and walks slowly so that it does not teeter. Tools extend from its palms while it remains mostly stationary with its arms doing the moving.

Sprites: (I dont know if you needed the syndicate one but i added it anyway.)

Could you show us a comparison photo of your cyborg next to other cyborg sprites in game? My worry is that this doesn't quite fit the rest of the cyborg artstyles.

I mean, I could crustify it to match current borgs but I thought they were nice as they are. What changes would you want made?

The only worry I have aswell is that you are very tall and very large. I admit it’s hard as nails to show size relative in sprites, but was your intention to be like 8 feet tall? You’d be taller than most organic sprites like this too I believe.

I was going to have them be tall and lumbering. I had seen a few other large custom sprites and didnt think it would he much of an issue. I can always scale them down if youd like.

It looks fine to me. Personally they are rather comparable to a Vaurca bulwark.

Apologies for the really late reply, some discussions plus life happened.
