The mix of patchwork pants and cyberware makes me wonder more about the setting he is in. But this art is pretty badass. I love the pose and the detail.

Same, I'm a sucker for this kind of aesthetic. Reminds me of Champloo and Afro Samurai. Techno-fuedalism, maybe?

The cyber-ware was forced on him. Now he can't live without it.

The pants are his own lifestyle choice.

Or he was a cyber enhanced soldier who's now a discharged poor vet trying to make a buck in underground death matches.

Lol. Could definitely see the poor vet line. A dystopia future would certainly treat a veteran even worse than our modern dystopia @.@.
