Oh, I don't know what to say. That's perfect! The transfer of Zapp's sleaziness across the gender barrier is a success. Fun to see a female Kif, too!

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us.

Brain scarringly good! :D the bottom right scene is perfect, gender switch aside it could be right from the show.

Wait... no, this is still better :p

Bwah! Awsome. Somehow the shortness of the doop skirt thing is even more terrifying in the top picture. I think it's the pose... The second one is equally excellent. Some day I shall get you to teach me how to draw hands like that.

Also, yay for girl!kif. Almost exactly as I imagined her  ;D

An idea that's been knocking around my head for ages: LilithBot. Business was slow in Robot Hell.


ETA: Because mixing 2D and 3D is potentially crazy, I've added a second image in which stuff glows more. The bold colour went, but it's a bit more 3D.

Hmm....  Hmmm..... let me meditate a little before I open my mouth.  Ok. 

Ths is a great piece of art.  The design is fresh.  Althought, it kinda reminds me of that movie "I robot" with Will Smith. 


I'm going to be a little picky this time.   Hope you dont mind.  The neon light doesn't seem to emmit any glow except on the bot, and thats really limited.  For next time make sure you make them emmit some light.  I dont know why it didnt happen.  You are an expert on this kind of thing, for I have seen it in the past. 

Something else.  The  bot seems kind of flat, well, fresh designed but flat.  Perhaps a little bit of more time would have fix that and a darker background to contrast with the figure.   Anyhow, this should be another collected edition pic that should forever be remember here for years to come.  Kudos!

Thanks, guys!

The neon light dont seem to emit any ligh on the athmosphere just on the bot, and thats really limited.  For next time make sure you make them emmit some light.  I dont know why it didnt happen.  You are an expert on this kind of thing, for I have seen it in the past. 
Valid point. Whatever the bright bits are made of, they would probably glow in real life – but I left the glow out on purpose (honest). I wanted to keep the neon bits as crisp and sharp as possible – I experimented with glowy outlines and it looked too 'soft' for the character, if that makes any sense.

Something else.  The  bot seems kind of flat, well, fresh designed but flat.  Perhaps a little bit of more time would have fix that and a darker background to contrast with the figure.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'flat'. Do you mean that the figure doesn't look 3D, or that the pose should be more dynamic, or that I should have drawn an actual background rather than just a texture, or something else?

A slightly whiter core on the neon bits would boost them up quite nicely without having to have them glow softly. I think that's all you're really missing there.
