Conversion

FINALLY! This drawing is done!

One late design change I made to the newly converted human cyborg was to cover his lower legs completely. From the beginning, I'd had in mind that the quadrupedal cyborg was the first race to enhance themselves. In addition to the natural toughness of their skin, they've had thousands of years of existing as cyborgs, which allows for their nanites to replenish organic and inorganic components easily. These enhancements enable them to survive numerous environments, so they have no need to start terraforming projects. However, this human, who is the first of his kind to join the collective, received additional implants in case they decide to send him to one of these worlds, some of which have potently toxic soil; the nanites aren't entirely familiar with earth-based life forms, so any damage or poison would take longer to deal with.
