Process
For the opening illustration I went for a really over the top interpretation of the subject. I drew a cyberhipster character (kinda like a cyberpunk character, but not so cool) with all these augmentations and technological prosthetics.

For the second one, I illustrated the real life technology of brain implants. To be honest I just added some sci-fi flair to it, because the real thing looks almost exactly like this.
