Description Radio Graph inked, Copic Markers, and Pro-White on Crescent lightweight illustration board (cold press) 9 x 7inches.

I just wanted to do another one. No good reason. However I wanted to do a pose I was unfamiliar with and was unconfortable doing. I spent more time making sure things didn't bleed too much. Also an artist on here told me that to get the most sharpness from an illsutration is to define your borders. So I did that. It worked. I am happy with her.

She's a little less slutty than the last in my opinion.

in about 500+ years, the cyborg revolution will occur with humans 'uploading' their minds into Gynoid chassis like this; and then... ?

She has a bit of a " Come hither " seductive look to her that I quite like. Very nice detailing.
If they start designing real fembots or androids that aren't just for P.R. purposes, maybe they'll look something like her.
One never knows.....

Thank you! This one was one of my favorites because I liked how 'solid' she felt. I beleived I could actually feel the hardness, and coldness of her metal shell....

Wow! She's my favourite too. You're so welcome for the comment. ^_^

Her skin is made out of metal shell, is that right?

Yeah. Though I think it might be wrong to suggest that it's cold. It seems that would be detramental to her primary function. So we'll say she has an internal surface heater. LOL

An internal surface heater? I like that.

I feel you have fantastic colouring skills with 'real' tools! Looks great. I remember doing a similar sort of thing way back in the early 90s mine was just done in pencil though!

I think it has to do with tactile sensory perception and weight. My tablet is great and all, but it never feels real...it kinda makes me feel 'disconnected.' Also my development in real tools far exceeds my development of computer tools (except for Photoshop where I have intimate knowledge of tips, tricks, and manipulations.)

But i'm learning....I'll get there...

LOL, funny you should mention Heavy Metal. When I was but a wee lad...I had found a copy under the bed. There was this Robot chic illustration and it has been burned into my memory ever since. (is that what they call mental scaring? ) That and Hajime Sorayama has been the primary basis for my Robotic fantasies....

I was gonna mention Sorayama (magnificent artist and one of my all time favs) but considered the cartoonish aspect was more related to HM. I do know what you mean about those images though...makes you think.

Snigom In reply to dragyourblood [2007-01-20 17:35:32 +0000 UTC]

I have been a fan of Sorayama for over a decade. However, his art and subject matter is getting more and more....strange as time goes on. That man needs help Also...reading his latest interview is kind of hurtful towards other artists. Despite all...I love his art

Yeah, its ahrd to say whether access to such material at a young age was bad or good. I;m going to go with good as the art inspired me to want to do art. I was also inspired by Frank Frazetta.

this is awesome dude. alot better then the other one. talk to me about this defining borders deal.

Snigom In reply to twistedmentality [2007-01-20 06:27:42 +0000 UTC]

I got the tutelage from His images were so crisp and touchable and I couldn't put my finger on why. All he said was that he defined his borders. Which when i analyzed his work, it made sense. Everywhere there was a border he very clearly outlined it or darkened it. He was careful about which shadows should be 'blurred' and which should be sharp in contrast.

Also, his highlights played alot with his work too. With this illo I had played with various lighting tactics and used my highlights to 'define' my borders.

I hope all that makes sense :condused:

twistedmentality In reply to Snigom [2007-01-20 06:44:12 +0000 UTC]

it does,i was told/taught never to outline your borders as it takes away depth.
of course that was with pencil and this is with markers so iam sure it is different. i shall try this out on the illo iam working on now.

thanks

If you notice, this has line art, but I used the smallest line possible. I was going to go back and thicken lines and add line weights...but I liked it better without..

If you do have line art...just make areas where there will be light as thin as possible (in some cases...non-existant) and areas where there is shadow..thicken the line...or better, use a dark shade that matches or nearly matches the line art...

Wow very nice. I have never been able to master mechanical thingys. Especially robots. I'd like to though because they are interesting and fun. Its just more stuff for me to practice I guess.

I really like the fact that you made this one blue. But again the hearts bother meh. > But I'm not a fan of hearts so that's just my perogative.

Very nice metallic feel. The hair seemes a bit out of place though, like somebody dropped a wig on her at the last minute.

Good job overall.

Snigom In reply to BartBar [2007-01-20 02:35:39 +0000 UTC]

Just think of how the body moves, muscles and all, and simplify that movement. Then go look at tech manuals for cars. That's pretty much what I used to do. Plus, check out these artists, they are my inspiration for robots: Masamune Shirow, and Hajime Sorayama. If you thought my robots were sluttish....just wait until you view Sorayama. That guy got more twisted as the years rolled on....

I'm sorry you hate the hearts They need to be there to show that her heart is available...for $99.99, no refunds, substitutions, satisfaction not guaranteed in all states but Texas.

Yeah. The wig was my only disappointment. I screwed it further by using pro white to highlight it. That was not a good idea. I needed like an opaque brown and yellow. Oh well.
