#which means he is pretty committed to this prosthetic bc it would require surgery to change the connector

I need to update RE's design soon. Thinking about how his prosthetic should work

#he's got a futuristic arm but he deliberately asked for an older model he didn't want anything crazy #so its got to like. have more future-y elements but also leave something to be desired #i think I'm getting somewhere #the way it connects to his remaining limb is sort of a magnet clip thing #which means he is pretty committed to this prosthetic bc it would require surgery to change the connector #but there's probably a handful of models that use the same/similar enough connectors #if he were to need to replace it #it also isn't the most comfortable situation by far #he tends to not wear it unless he needs 2 hands for something really bad #cuz like its heavy. it pinches a little sometimes (skin is less predictable than metal and sometimes it squishes somewhere unexpected) #its pretty responsive at least. trade off for the surgically implanted nonsense is that its pretty dexterous. #but it still gets in the way most of the time #still gotta work out the visuals more. been thinking about how the connection to his arm should look so that's a start #but i dunno what ill do at the joints yet #gonna have to check out some references for that probably. armor and robot designs and real prosthetics #find something believable enough looking and also sci fi-y
