The Big Stuff

First up we have Sandow's commission of his artificial character Schmuck and some random bunny who looks very uncomfortable about the state of him.
Honestly, as much as I have my issues with artificial characters these days, it was still fun to have an excuse to explore the subject with Sands, even if I'm definitely not a huge fan of his choice of colors, but that's not up to me. Drawing a half-wrecked synth is defiitely always entertaining though, believe it or not X3
I suppose synth is kind of the given name for characters of this type these days, though I'm aware there is an actual specific kind of artificial construct that are named synths too, though I fail to recall which ones they were or who they were created by - not that I care either though. I do have to be that honest. I suppose anything is better than blanketing everything with the "robot" term, even if that probably applies, depending on what definition you take for it.
Second is a series of four telegram stickers I was asked to do for a local friend. I did one for them a couple' years ago at this point and apparently they'd be waiting for me to open for another opportunity, which just goes to show my poor business management.
Anyway, it's mostly cutesy stuff. The one where they're reaching for the coffee mug actually has the silhouette of another mutual friend on it parodying a local coffee brand X3
Lastly we have that ... questionable ... piece from two weeks ago. Honestly, I've been wanting to draw (more) Rammstein inspired artwork for a while, but I just never felt inspired or it slipped my mind when I was trying to select something to work on - not this time.
I'll be honest here, I have a hard time looking at the thing, which is funny, because I drew it. Looking back though, I noticed that I was almost entirely disconnected from the experience of drawing. Sure, I sketched it and all, but I don't remember how I got from that first sketch to this final product, except for me just applying endless, disconnected rendering steps. I knew what I was drawing was supposed to look like roughly, so I just continued to apply render segmentally and was eventually done, at which point I will admit to having felt slightly queasy at what I had produced.
Anyway, it's at the end of the upload to make sure it doesn't sit out in the open to upset everybody - which reminds me, I should find something to upload to FA to push it off the last-uploaded slot in my gallery XD

So that's any truly finished pieces handled. I still have a couple' sketches to share and then we're back to business as things become available.

I suppose so, yes. I'd actually forgotten about the cog term, unfortunately. I wonder what Messi is up to these days. Haven't heard from them in forever. Yeah, there's not a whole lot of use in them if you're not gonna hang around on telegram, though I do drop mine in as reactions from time to time. Works a charm. That well done joke actually took a moment to register Xb~

I believe Vader-San's synth are the ones you were thinking of. Sorta dragon-esque looking ones. But yeah, it's become a blanket-term for artificial (in the mechanical way) beings meant to be somewhat life-like. Kinda what we used to use "android" for. HSD's Cogs would fall into that category as well. Anyway, really nice picture. That poor bun :) The stickers are neat too. I've considered getting some myself, but I just don't use Telegram enough to make it worth it. I guess I could use them as reactions on Discord too... Now, that last one... ho boy... that came as a bit of a shock. Since there was no thumbnail. The whole having a hard time looking at it should have been a hint, but I figured you just meant you didn't like it. It really isn't very pleasant to look at. Which I guess means that it is well done... pun intended. Interesting about not really remembering drawing it. Only cases I can think of when something like that happens to me is during routine stuff, not creative endeavors.
