Ice Artifice

Machines, cold blooded as they seem, yearn to stay unseen, in bright furious dreams.

This one's meant to be inspired by ice dragons, but I had no idea how I'd draw the tail, so I guess they don't have one. I wonder if subconciously I thought it'd be too xenomorphy that way. I wanted to capture some elements of the "Bright Night Terror" piece I did last year but also try out a palette I haven't used recently.

In my setting the robots are meant to be able to start out more humanoid, then transform into increasingly strange and curious forms, and the later ones are supposed to be crazy like dinosaurs, spider tanks, squid planes and so on.

So, where are the later forms? Somehow in between 2021 (?) and now I lost some of the confidence in just dumping pieces with unfinished ideas - there was a point I'd have one out every one or two days... Nowadays I give myself an hour or so to draw these and just accept that I have a tendency to do the humanoid ones cause I can pose myself in the mirror as reference. Unfortunately I am not a beautiful robot lady (yet). I'm just a robot beep boop.

By the way, this five fingered hand is just because I had some confidence today in my hand gestures again. The ones with weapons for hands probably just transformed their arms into those temporarily - maybe most of them have "natural" hand states. If so I intend for plenty of them have "natural" hands that are claws or have unusual finger counts, formats and arrangements - I don't think theres any "default" hand.

Accessibility for the different hand, claw and manipulator types is meant to come up from time to time in the setting - so not everyone can pilot or operate everything, but theres accomodations that can be made for most robots to operate most things, because that is what the Emperor wills.

Why would robots have an Emperor? So that I can write a story about what happens when the Emperor falls.

The Fake Princess and the Obsessive Prince: A Decade of Hidden Desires Behind the Ice Mask - By Tenten (8/10)

Meaningful, strategic decisions. Convenient memory loss. Those two aspects don't mesh well, and it makes the story more average. It's sweet and dramatic, and the Ice Prince is super obsessed. It's worth a read, but the Plot Convenience is always there in the background. The story gets murky.

Lilly is a body double. She thinks she's friends with her princess, but it's a really toxic relationship. The Princess casually tells Lilly to sacrifice herself.

She does. Foolish, loving Lilly walks into marriage with a madman. All because her mistress and twin bestie deserves better....while she deserves nothing apparently.

The ice prince doesn't look very appealing.

Lilly wants to save her princess.

Lilly is a convenient orphan who definitely isn't the real princess with memory loss. Or a lost twin. That would be crazy. The other princess totally isn't keeping her as a brainwashed servant because civil war is coming. Lilly totally isn't a sacrifice.

Gray the reaper isn't that bad.

The mega sexist pushy arrogant prince is way worse.

But wait.

He's evil on purpose.

He keeps messing with Lilly because he KNOWS Gray is obsessed with her.

Behaving like an animal is sure to push Gray towards making errors out of anger.

It's all a plot. Nothing is real, except the bullying Lilly has to suffer through.

Gray earnestly tries his best.

He wants to be a loving husband.

Everybody else wants to torment Lilly because she's a foreigner.

Lilly isn't dumb. She knows the maids don't want to abuse her. Other powers are forcing them. Gray tries his best.

He really does...

....but it escalates

Lilly also thinks he loves the real princess, not her.

Gray has been torturing her bullies.

Also, his younger brother wants Lilly gone because she's an unessessary weakness. Even high ranking ladies are pawns in this world, but Gray stands strong. He ruthlessly carves a path to power, for Lilly.

Not the princess.

Lilly.

The stakes are high.

It's tense, but the memory loss aspect magically fixes everything...and that's boring.

We’re packing and my fiancée @doubleca5t found my ice bat mask 😂💕

[404-art-found]

buddy found it in a closet on rend and put it on when nobody was looking

(this was also an excuse to draw its decaying corpse skin. its body produces blood so readily that it bruises its joints just by moving)
