Sketch: Plain – Retail Model
©2009 Sharon Rosa Because sometimes a regular Plain cambot isn’t quite useful enough. Especially in retail stores, where looking pretty is never enough – even the cambots need to push the merch! Enter the Retail Model, designed to display merch or advertisements while keeping an eye out for shoplifters.
Sketch: Rano Prototype

Sketch: Medusa Model 1
©2009 Sharon Rosa The “Medusa” is an unofficial model, originally a Plain Cambot.

The hair mods were originally a joke… but sometimes, late at night, they seem…

Ultimately i’d like the brand + product + semi-random-number combination so much other tech has, but for now i’ll settle for the basic product name. This one’s a Rano, named with the Esperanto word for “frog.” A basic little spy-bot,…
Sketch: Plain Cambot, Rear View
©2009 Sharon Rosa I think i need to come up with proper model names for some of these androids, especially the ones which show up repeatedly, like the one-eyed limbless cambot. My geeky inner child wants to figure out some sort of code system of complicated number-names, like every other tech company does now –…
Sketch: Ribbon Study
©2009 Sharon Rosa Not that i draw piles upon piles of ribbons in most of my illustrations, but it’s still something good to know.
