Maybe some sort of a chrome o light metal looking texture?
I'm thinking procedurals may work fine in this case?

I would break out the material into two basic points:

Color (to compliment the warm colors in the photo)

and Texture (the convincing metal aspect)

Here is the next stage.

Is his better?  And if so what would you recommend from here?

are you using reflection?

it looks better. you should use more specular on the wires.

where did you got this hand?

That's starting to look very believable!!!!

The arm is a very reworked "V3 cyber-arm" from Daz .  I have tweeked it some though, added a bunch of stuff and got rid of the coverings.   Good prop, i must say.  I have been really happy with it.

I noticed the difference in eye colors. The first render shows a green eye and a brown eye, your next renders show only brown eyes.
Makes for an interesting change in impression - the different eyes in the first render made me think of a fully cybernetic creature (Terminator style maybe), while the renders with two brown eyes give the impression of a natural human with a prosthetic arm.
I don';t know what effect you're aiming for. Either way, it starts to look very cool!

I'll keep that in mind I was trying to get the full cyborg feel, but found it just looked like a mutated eye to me.  I'll start working on that them.

Can you tell us a little on how that was rendered.  The woman looks real.  I'd love to know how to get my renders closer to that.

The woman is real, the hand is what i was working on.

And that is a highly tweeked Cyber arm from Daz.

As for the render 3 standard lights with occlution on and reitrace shadows..
