William Gibson's "Cyberpunk" =/= Han Rudolf Giger's "biomechanist" art style.



Cyberpunk is specifically the "street finding its own purposes for things". Which this painting doesn't demonstrate.



There is no "repurposing" of standard or high-end equipment for more practical or pragmatic uses. There is no broken Digital-Tablet having its glass screen chipped into the axe-head of a street-axe. There is no collection of cast off electronics and hydraulics re-purposed into a frankensteined exo-harness.



Nor is there any obvious attempt at demonstrating heavily used equipment with signs it has been: cannibalized, repaired, upgraded and heavily modified from it's "standard".



Instead, there is a floating Cthulhii; with some "barely there" and "sleek looking" neural augment cybernetics. Which makes sense for a neural-based creature like a Cthulhii to pick up.



Although; in reality; the Cthulhi (if they /really/ were a genius; they would be actually very at savvy at advanced maths such as Game Theory; and would understand that mini-maxing (or min-maxing) their weakest attributes could be more effective than augmenting their highest attributes. However, that's only in real life.



In an wargame-cum-RPG like D&D, hyper-specialization has immense benefits for characters that can use their attributes for Save-or-Die effects.





Really, "Biomechanical" is closer to what this is; as it demonstrates the G.R.R. Martin "Cthulhii" with a cybernetic neural augmentation.





Martin "re-invented" human sized Cthulu-based creatures when he also invented the "Gith".



However Howard Lovecraft himself /also/ had "human sized" Cthulu creatures (they were part of the invading army of Cthulhu that fought against the Elder Things, as recounted in "At the Mountains of Madness").



Human sized cephalopodoid creatures are a really old thing in contemporary human mytholody; the 1920's with Lovecraft at least. Humans using cephalopods in their culture for as long as they've been aware of them.



However, Lovecraft's invention of a "giant squid man in the Pacific" could be seen as being little different from the depictions of apocryphal tales and illustrations of giant squid capsizing iron age sailing vessels; Lovecraft just took some existing ideas, and made them unsettlingly uncanny by amalgamating a cephalic, and chiropteran, with a humanoid, form.
