Bots - Blog Posts

[Start ID. A brown-toned comic of P3RI, the artist's botsona. They lament on how long it's been since they've played Dishonored, start playing it again, and then lie to itself that it'll keep this playthrough casual. The bottom quarter of the image lists the self-imposed challenges they rack up. End ID]

back at it again folks

[Start ID. A simple comic in orange and green of the artist's botsona, P3RI, wondering about why there's suddenly a lot more Rain World art than it's ever seen on Tumblr. They chalk it up to the frequency bias, but text pointing to it describes the real explanation as the fact that they happened to start playing right after a major DLC, Downpour, came out. End ID]

this has happened twice

i think that tthey should be bestfriends

WELL HELLO THERE ROBOT LIKER COMMUNITY. welcome to the robot swag competition

submit your nominations here!

(this was directly inspired by others such as @nonbiney-swag-competition and @autismswagsummit !)

RULES AND NOTES:

contest will be held in the traditional tournament bracket format, with (hopefully) fair match ups that don't pit the most iconic robots out there with mr. literally who tf are you.

i will TRY MY BEST to get said match ups right but i MIGHT fuck it up. if so i'm sorry

robot swag being included in the title does not necessarily mean the robot has to have swag. the robot in question could be the most pathetic wet cat you've ever seen, and they could contest here. this is just for robots in general!

if you need to ask "does this character count as a robot?" when submitting a nomination, the answer is probably yes. don't think about it too hard

polls will last 24 hours each!

i made this contest with FICTIONAL robots in mind, but real ones can be included too!

i'll likely be restricting things to one robot per media, sorry for anyone who wanted glados vs wheatley action!

as for contestants, i'll mostly let the public decide, but i might sneak in a few of my own nominations! i've got 32 slots to fill, so get nominating!

hope everyone has fun! i'll update this blog as things move along. make sure to spread this around if you can so more people can see it <3

[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]

robot cowboy!!!

[Start ID. A drawing of V1 and Gabriel from Ultrakill. They're angled towards each other, both leaning backwards with one leg bent at the knee. V1 is pulling itself towards Gabriel with the whiplash, the end of which curls around him, and he reaches one hand out to hold the cord. Gabriel's pose seems almost relaxed, while V1 is more tense and somewhat energetic. The background is mauve, and bears markings that emphasize the heart-like shape formed by V1 and Gabriel. End ID]

Did not know what to caption this. Uh. Gay people

(alts under the cut, as usual)

[Start ID. A half-body doodle of a screen-faced humanoid robot, my sona, smiling as it looks at its phone. Both them and the phone emit the symbols of Tumblr's likes and reblogs. The text pointing to it reads "accidentally started a likespamming match with a cool blog". End ID]

symbiotic relationship :]

get bapped IDIOT

[Start ID. A drawing of Idroa, a roughly humanoid black and red robot with four arms, floating in midair. One arm is brought up to the collection of wires and many-eyed wheels replacing his head in a vague pointing motion, the other at cogs side, and the lower pair is open, spread low at about a 45 degree angle to their body. Translucent folded wings are shown behind her. The background is composed of the faint shapes of maroon buildings and machinery. End ID]

Comm for @vibecenter13 !!

ultrabright colors and gradation map my beloved

[Start ID. Three color variations of the same messy sketch on a white background. Each one depicts V1 from Ultrakill, in the same pose as the protagonist on the cover for Doom. They're standing on a pile of gore rather triumphantly and lifting a Husk with one arm, by where its collar would be. The original drawing was in bright red, yellow, and blue, and the two others are in much softer palettes, one shades of green and the other purple through yellow. End ID]

FUCK IT UP EDGARRR

based upon this very edgarcore instrument

claire de soleil

ok maybe I did clean it up a little

[Start ID. Two versions of a humanoid robot with a head resembling an old tv and insect-like antennae, standing on a peach-colored background. They are more or less facing forward, though its upper body is twisted slightly to the side, so they’re looking somewhere above their raised arm. The bot is painted pale green on its lower body and arms, while its head and chest are a dull red. It features a number of markings, including icons for its favorite games, various hearts, and two across its chest that resemble stylized mastectomy scars. Both versions of the robot are the same, though one is wearing a red bandanna and a blue button-up shirt with fronds and flowers. End ID]

[Start ID. A few uncolored sketches of a humanoid robot, with a head resembling an old tv and insect-like antennae, against a blank background. Their body is drawn in red, clothing in blue, and markings in green. They are more or less facing forward, though its upper body is twisted slightly to the side, so they’re looking somewhere above their raised arm. It features a number of markings, including icons for its favorite games, various hearts, and two across its chest that resemble stylized mastectomy scars. The robot is wearing a bandanna and a button-up shirt, but their body is visible underneath the lineart. End ID]

"the act of comparing autistic people to robots or depicting them as cold, emotionless, or subhuman is overused and problematic, robots/aliens shouldn't be the only characters we can relate to" and "ok but bots are cool and i wanna be one so bad" are two statements that can and should coexist

[Start ID. A drawing of V1 from Ultrakill in blue, yellow and red against a black background. It appears to be sliding to the left while midair, albeit with one leg bent and a wing splayed outward, gripping a gun and aiming it indirectly at the screen. Blood sprays from a couple broken wires and litters its body. End ID]

Inspired by @peridots-pixiwolf to draw some inscryption robots!!! G0lly and P03

(four guys at the bottom belong to @hydrxnessa @my-ceiling-is-tilted and @skyistheground ! a very "sorry for interacting with you only through silly doodles" to all of you)

HES BEEN SPOTTED

The last thing I have finished, that once again has nothing to do with any of the other fandoms I've posted about in the past day

Get Out Of My Head: a piece dedicated to (exorcising) all the random guys I've hyperfixated on despite knowing nothing about the games they're from
