#why can't she have translucent silicone skin showing all the components beneath

[wirebrainz]

robots with plainly human features, but they're secretly mechanical on the inside or whatever, but you Never get to see that - besides maybe a few visible joints here and there if you're lucky.... that's honestly one of my least favorite design conventions ever

it feels so lazy from a character design standpoint, too. you now have a robot without having to figure out how to draw robots... good job, I guess

I love those clunkier designs, where you have to actually think to some level about how all the different parts move and rotate. where the audience can get a good idea of how the robot functions just from looking at them. I hate when the artist just goes "oh they have synthetic skin and synthetic hair and also a super good self-repair system and-" and then they just never show any of the internals at all. kind of feels like a copout.

I genuinely just don't understand the appeal of androids & the like. it kind of feels like you don't really like robots that much at all if you do whatever you can to make them as non-robotic as possible

fucking robots that actually look like robots. You agree. Reblog.
