IMPORTANT!
- I don't consider this as a mature content, because android body doesn't have actual genitals or nipples and obviously doesn't include anything sexual!
- Watermark and its link is to my other/newer accounts HexxxBeast linktree, which is why it isn't matching with this one! But, (a big) IF I get at least core membership out of this, I'd like to get it on this account for changing my username, so I figured I must upload my work in here. Sorry about this complex thing!
- I didn't look through others entries for this challenge and I apologize if mine looks too similar to someone elses or theme is generally too used! (Explanation following...)

Okay, that being said, HOO BOY, what a work this was! So, as some informative note, me being one incurable perfectionist with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, my first priority was to take this as a personal challenge for myself, secondary as a challenge with prizes. My goal wasn't/isn't actually compete with other character designs, but I'd lie if I wouldn't be crazy thrilled and hyped if my work would win some place and that giving me a little boost to get creative more often, haha XD But hey, I actually did this, and that being my personal goal I ALREADY WON, I AM A WINNER! 😌✨

To get this completely off from my mind and to reset my brains, I'll write down thoughts and ideas related to this process, bear with me!

HOW I CHALLENGED MYSELF/WHAT'S NEW:
- In general, BY PARTICIPATING AND MAKING THIS! I never attend to any challenges/competitions because of many reasons related to my mental health and productivity. I usually have A LOT going on in my mind if I start to do so, and just like in this case, overthinking takes so, SO much capacity and energy with overflowing ideas what are impossible to combine in every single way, not to mention actually try them out to some visual form and go decide what's the best. Then there's my perfectionism what prevents me doing a lot of stuff in artistic ways what I'm not used/comfortable to do, which is ridiculous and toxic thing on the way of development and improvement. Anyways, I can sum up it's mentally exhausting and more challenging to my brains to design art than actually creating it.
- Even tho I draw mainly human(oid)s, androids/cyborgs is something I haven't done much! Also though it isn't hardcore dynamic pose, but I tried to do at least something a bit out of "standing here pointlessly"-look.
- I don't draw enough tanned/dark skinned characters, and because there's been #blacklivesmatter going on, I had to make this as an opportunity to fix that thing a bit.
- Every kind of motor vehicles are a pure terror for me, but it being an important element here I couldn't avoid it, hehe. Helmets are also out of my comfort zone nor have I ever designed one myself, but here we are!
- Somehow I also think it is a challenge to use any color you personally dislike, for me yellow is one, but dark grey/black goes with everything so it wasn't too bad, haha.
- I actually paid attention to design clothes, fitting for transports and helmets style. I think clothing, transport and helmet all went through approximately three stages of bigger or smaller changes, and with hairstyle I had 6 options what I scribbled out ( twitter.com/HexxxBeast/status/… ) but ended up to go with a flow a bit beside rolled up front hair and unconsciously giving Instagram logos colors XD

WHAT INSPIRED ME:
- For colors/stripes, bombs and a mirror, obviously bees! You know what traditionally goes well along with honeycomb - well hexagons and cyber theme, duh!
- For Cyhbees transport I wanted some shiny touch while thinking about Tron: Legacy, but the shape came mainly from (my childhood heroes!) Biker Mice from Mars Vinnies motorcycle.
- For clothing I think Tron also gave me some unavoidable spark to add glowing/holo-look lines, with some more "traditional" look for racer clothes, I guess.
- Detachable eyelashes on Cyhbees helmet, I mean you can already add some fake eyelashes on your cars lights at least, why not on some helmet where someones eyes actually are located
- Obviously a good soundtrack with nice rhythm, bass and electronic sounds!

OTHER (UNNECESSARY) INFO:
- Cyhbees lucky charm goes with her in jackets inside side pocket, and carries even a few special skill bombs in it too beside motorcycles stash.
- Because I love puns and stupid jokes, I just had to add those puntastic quotes related as a hint to bees, they just popped to my mind randomly while working this. I think as a nice bonus it gives out a bit of characters personality; She's (programmed?) to be confident, competitive and, who knows for whatever reason, a bit snarky
- Because it wouldn't have fitted on this reference sheet sort of thing (especially after adding nude front to give out a bit of android look underneath) and running out of time, I didn't draw Cyhbees backside, but I imagined she'd have those (quite medium sized) hexa-shapes in line with her spine, 1 bigger and 2 smaller in the back of her neck (similarly like on her lower stomach) and 2 cable ports on both sides above buttocks, at least.
- Cyhbees (only one showing) earrings and hair accessory are also some sort of magnetic holograms, as some things in her transport and helmet.

COPYRIGHTS:
For the background, which is not in an important position but is a nice touch bringing elements together, I used in Photoshop
- Army Tank Pattern Grunge Brushes by DieheArt ; www.deviantart.com/dieheart/ar…
- Pattern style named "Copy of honeycomb" where sadly is no infromation of creator (but I think it's free to use, since I have it)
- Some random dust brush, which I sadly can't remember/find from my brush library anymore 🤦

SPECIAL THANKS to my overly helpful husband-sloth-halfsoulbro-slavepet Mishkatron , who g̶e̶n̶t̶l̶y̶ ̶k̶i̶c̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶f̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶ shared some opinions/minor suggestions, cheered me to finish this and being a huge mental support! Without him I'd have probably given up due to "perfectionists stress" and my "pointless work, a waste of time" way of thinking - love you man! 🤟❣️
