An old android, no longer functioning as she should. As per usual, prints are available from Imagekind, but now I also have an Etsy shop. And by ‘I have an Etsy shop’ I mean I renamed my abandoned jewellery shop to be a little broader and put this one single solitary pencil drawing in it….
Androids like to have fun, too; it’s part of their sentience programming. Here, a Baletistino and one of her friends at a nightclub. No accounting for style here.
Eh, composition of this one is a bit dodgy, but that’s why it’s just a sketch. Couple of androids just doing their thing in whatever part of town androids like to hang out in. One of them seems to have caught on to the idea they’re being watched…
Some random army droids.
A damaged Baletistino chassis from a travelling spaceshow. Her hard drive was worth keeping, but the chassis itself was chucked out the airlock.
Quickie of an android ballerina, waiting for the show to start up. The Baletistino model uses a patent-pending joint structure with a lightweight frame to make it the most flexible android model there is. However, they’re somewhat more fragile* than other droids; the joints are quite likely to become permanently warped with overuse and the…
I probably have a few almost identical sketches like this, but it’s been a while since i did one, so… another robot chick.
Leaning back to get a better view of the rooftop sniper. This is a situation where having a speaker to warn her boss might come in useful.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Some of the various ports standard on most of my bots.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Honestly not sure what i was doing with this one. Some sort of art nouveau/steampunk mix.
©2009 Sharon Rosa The Svetlana model is a warrior droid with the ability to focus energy and heat through various points on her body. The 500H shown here is pretty much only able to use her weapons through her hands, but more sophisticated models are able to use any point on their bodies.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Half-done concept idea of a companion to the original Plain, this one being designed as a speaker system instead of a camera.
©2009 Sharon Rosa A rather unauthorised modification of the Malrompita, the Soldjat is usually someone who started out as a human soldier, but either couldn’t get enough action after the army switched to heavy ‘droid use or was injured too badly to be kept in active duty without significant modding. The resulting Soldjats are really…
©2009 Sharon Rosa A rather overworked Plain cambot. Really, there should be more than one if she is to be expected to watch so many places at once. Note she’s not as shiny as most Plains, either – cheap plastic version. You can tell her owners are really skimping on security.
©2009 Sharon Rosa An android specially designed for running at high speeds, relaxing after a long race.
©2009 Sharon Rosa A test bot of about the same durability of an average soldier, designed to test body armour designs by suiting up and having bombs dropped on him.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Roughly based on the Malrompita model, Tiffany is meant to be a spy. She can be skinned to look like virtually any human female. There’s also a child version codenamed Taffy, who was designed later but is turning out to be far more popular. Who doesn’t trust a kid?
©2009 Sharon Rosa An (unfinished) illo of the Coat-Rack of the Future. With her one massive eye, she sees you coming with your coat and reaches out to take it from you – no fumbling about with hangers or hooks. When you come back, she recognises you and knows exactly which coat to hold out…
©2009 Sharon Rosa They can’t all just sit around being bored.
©2009 Sharon Rosa There’s only so many variations of a bored Rano waiting impatiently for her next job i can do… and i seem to be trying to figure out every one of them 😛
©2009 Sharon Rosa A modification of the Plain cambot, a custom job for a man who wanted a little company in the form of someone who would sing to him. This particular cambot also has vibration enhancers and synthesisers in her hair, which allows her to mimic the sounds of many instruments, though she came…
©2009 Sharon Rosa Some spare hands for the Malrompita model.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Eh? And where do you think you’re going now? Guess you shouldn’t have assumed she wouldn’t notice you sneaking off.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Paying attention to someone else, today. Perhaps you should sneak off, while you still can.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Nothing to worry about, just a Plain cambot. NSA’s not advanced enough to use these yet. We’re fine, really…
©2009 Sharon Rosa A Rano model, waiting on a shelf until she gets another mission to go on.
©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.
©2009 Sharon Rosa One of the early prototypes of the Rano model, now obsolete and doomed to sit on a shelf forever.
©2009 Sharon Rosa The “Medusa” is an unofficial model, originally a Plain Cambot. She was hacked up a bit by an MIT student attempting to develop a security system by replacing her original eyecam with a motion-activated DNA detector and laser rifle. The hair mods were originally a joke… but sometimes, late at night, they seem…
©2009 Sharon Rosa The Malrompita Model 2 has a sturdier skeletal structure than the Model 1. She also has fewer component hooks, which many meks considered a disadvantage at first, but in truth most of the eliminated hooks were unnecessary and removing them made her assembly much easier without actually damaging any of her functionality.
©2009 Sharon Rosa The Malrompita Model 1 – self-assembly required. The Malrompita line is actually a basic skeletal ‘bot, rather than a complete android. She was originally designed for battle, as the ability to swap out parts easily means she is both easily repaired and highly adaptable for different situations; however, she’s been more or…
©2009 Sharon Rosa Working on coming up with proper model names for my little robots. 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,…
©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 –…
©2009 Sharon Rosa Actually, i think this one might be more alien than android.
©2009 Sharon Rosa I’ve given up on proper titles for these sorts of sketches, there’s only so many ways to describe them 😛
©2009 Sharon Rosa Hard to walk with no legs. Harder to get up with no arms.
©2009 Sharon Rosa New model, hasn’t even been fully designed yet. Just a prototype, this one.
©2009 Sharon Rosa Not much this particular model can do. Watch you and talk to you. She is, however, the latest and greatest from 1984, Inc.
©2008 Sharon Rosa For the Illustration Friday theme, Voices. My original idea involved five arms signing “Sing with me,” but decided to go with a (much simpler) image of two hands signing “interpret” instead. Prints available through Imagekind starting at 9$
Pencil, 5½×3½ in. » ©2008 Sharon Rosa Bit of a difference from my regular plain androids, this one’s decorated for Mardis Gras.
Pen & pencil, 5½×3½ in. » ©2008 Sharon Rosa A rather clunky android. I kind of gave up on drawing her accurately when the lights went out :/
©2008 Sharon Rosa Painted version of Sisters, done up for the Illustration Friday theme, Similar.
Pencil, 5½×3½ in. » ©2008 Sharon Rosa Children love balloons! Right? At least this one’s an android baby. No suffocation worries. Though, without proper ventilation, e might overheat…
Pencil, 5½×3½ in. » ©2008 Sharon Rosa Another idea for a painting which may or may not ever actually be completed. It looks a bit like a scene from “Alien” in this sketch but the finished idea is someone being reborn as a better person – well, better android, in this case 😛
©2008 Sharon Rosa My Christmas/Holiday card for this year, made from the image Stargazer – modified to have a cleaner sky and a Christmas star.
©2008 Sharon Rosa Inspired by the Illustration Friday theme, Balloon. In my head this is a somewhat sappy, romantic piece… if either one lets go then the connection is gone for both of them…
