monolith of indifference by jo san
an original print i did for otakon a few months back (slightly cropped for tumblr)! i wanted to do a series of monster girl street style fashion illustrations but didn’t end up having the time. also check OUT that perspective 101
Here’s some of my favorite bits from a recent job of mine designing robots and doing a few spot illustrations for an RPG! It’s basically something I always dreamed of doing growing up, haha. Enjoy!
The flexible black robots are often called Hangdogs, however they absolutely do not refer to themselves by that name. Each robot’s name is a poem of sorts, and is changed whenever they feel appropriate. The Hangdogs actually have a poor understanding of most languages as humans use them, and rely on their smartguns or hives for translation. They were intentionally built this way by the hives because most sanity complexed AIs had already mastered human manipulation via language and the nearly non-narrative poetry Hangdogs require was harder to hijack.
Part of the Hangdog’s success is how easily they can compact themselves, partly seen in the first panel here. They’re also capable of explosive bursts of energy, using braided and twisted carbon nanotubes as both muscle and battery. Their backs can also splay open for cooling and to use chemical sniffers to gather data.

the boss can’t hear you complaining about the budget problems b/c his robes are too voluminous, too cozy. also, you’re not sure if he has ears.
