Deus Ex Human Revolution Wearable Cybernetc Arm Study

I loved the design of the protagonist, Adam Jensen, in this game and wanted to try sculpting his arms to see how close I could get to matching the in-game design. 

The challenge in the design is his arms have been replaced with cybernetic implants and there is a lot of negative space.

I aimed for a practical design for someone to actually wear so I tried to build up as much as possible while still trying to keep the design slim.

The plan was likely to do silicon prosthetics, glue them to the arm, and paint the arm and all as appropriate or possibly gluing the pieces to a slim form fitting sleeve the could be slipped on to the arm.

I sculpted the arm using WED clay. The black tubing is just that; rubber hose I split in half and laid on the inside of the elbow.

There are many practical compromises that had to be made in the design but I feel overall it captures the essence of his arms pretty well.
