I was inspired to Asimov and F. Lang

Very interesting. The torso reminds me of "I, Robot" movie, but the kinda feminine face and helmet screams Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" to me
Also I like that you used green for the face, because green used in dark environments creates a tension, an ambiguity, which is already present at every level, but is still emphasized by green color. The robot holds a physical ambiguity, because although it is obvious that the torso is of a robot, the face is more human-like, and looking at face only I would find hard to decide for a human or a robot (fortunately, the circuitboard textures help getting that point). But the characters it reminds me of are rather ambiguous as well, as they are both created by man, but revolt or lead a revolt, not against mankind or their creators directly, but rather against the ones incarnating authority in their respectives movies.
Like it alot

thank you very much for the nice words and for the interesting concept it expresses. Clearly, I was inspired by Asimov. I decree an androgynous robot to represent the will of man to become a Creator. Creating something in his own image and likeness, and clearly the creature, once independent, rebel to his creator. Is a story that has already seen or not?

Yup, I've got nearly all of Asimov's works about robots (my graduation project from art school was a website about "history of robotics"), and I watched "I robot", but from personal experience Asimov's work is better grasped when read - "I robot" is kinda a melting-pot taking elements from several novels written by Asimov, but I think it focuses too much around the "Frankenstein" theme.
Which is ironic, because Asimov's whole work on robots, from his own words, was in fact destined to destroy that "Frankenstein" mythos. He wanted to convince people that man-made, independant creatures could exist, but it didn't necessarily mean they would destroy mankind A knife is dangerous, but it has a hilt to be manipulated safely. The Three laws of Robotics are the hilt of the knife, from Asimov's point of view
