Selection of research images.









These are simply a selection of images I have looked at whilst researching. The images of the actress Rose McGowan are taken from a film called Planet Terror, where she plays a stripper who ends up losing a leg and becoming a cyborg with a gun for a leg. She is very sexualised yet intimidating, linking to my research on Marilyn Manson (who coincidentally, has dated McGowan...random fact for you)

The rest of the images depict women with some kind of cyborg physicality, yet all are very sexual, beautiful women who have been photographed in a very flirtatious manner.
The exception of this behind the second to last image, which I believe to be a drawing or digital manipulation. This image shows the woman to be looking very upset about the state she is in, yet she is still shown to be topless and beautiful. I like this image an awful lot and may look into basing my final image around it. The fact that she is hanging up from something shows the restrictions put upon her and also that she has most of her body missing, suggests a feeling of being incomplete and unhappy.
