[1800x1200 -- zoom on in]

You'll need to read the text to find out who these are, some of these kits don't really have proper names.

----------

To reiterate: Several upcoming works are gonna have robot women--possibly quite a lot of them. That's OK, because I own a lot of them. In fact, that's my problem. In my "Robots and Dolls" figures folder I have fifty-two distinct kits. Now, mind you, about half of those are dolls and not robots, and many of them are more like glorified wardrobe items and not full figures, but that's still a lot of sorting out to do. So, since I'm not starting my next long work until I come back from travel, I'm using a spare hour or two to sort through the robot collection. Gotta know what I have in order to decide what I want to use.

This final installment covers some of the remaining odds and ends, and some of these ends are quite odd. Working left to right:

Figure 1 uses MysticArtDesign's Android surfaces, available here and here . Apart from a little geisha makeup that comes with the female set, these are displacement maps only, nothing else. The figure they're applied on is Xion, and I've given her some pasties and a g-string so that we don't have to put a Mature flag on this post, because everybody else in the image seems to not really count as "nude." One of these days I'm going to try taking the displacement maps and reversing them (dark to light) so I can try using them as an emission map to make the "lines" glow. I haven't gotten around to it.

Figure 2 has on the Battleworn Female Bot surfaces by Dreamlight. These apply surface changes, but no morphs. The surface alterations have three complete color schemes. The figure is Naia.

Figure 3 is the Cyber Steampunk Girl by Nathy. Nathy likes to make things which they list as wardrobe items, but which invisibly apply a morph and possibly some other shape slider changes. I can't actually tell which sliders the apply changed (apart from the sliders for the basic figure shape itself, with the same name), because I made a mistake and applied it to Darga. Though Darga also has her own shape sliders, for whatever reason, Pixeluna set it up so that when you load her, a lot of other sliders are altered as well. So it's anyone's guess. The head covering is removable (bare skin underneath); the shoes come with the kit.

Figure 4 is CyberDream Karla, another from Nathy. Again, it displays as a geoshell wearable and a pair of shoes, but depending on which icon you use to load the geoshell, it will also invisibly apply a body morph. This is the shell's default color scheme and its most boring. It does come with a few interesting surface options, like making parts look like glass. There is also an add-on pack with a visor and a couple of other widgets, one of which doesn't work properly. The shoes are interesting mostly because they pose the foot like a high-heeled pump, but they have no actual heel. The model is Harper.

Figure 5 is the "BS Cyborg" wardrobe item from Ansiko's Bot Store kit. Again, this is described as a wardrobe item, but it actually applies four wardrobe items, a shape change, and a base surface change, and the wardrobe items interact with the shape change in very unusual ways. The figure is Ai, but it barely matters; once you apply all this, you usually have a hard time telling who the base figure was.

Figure 6 is actually the real oddity in the lineup. This figure is one of several distinct shapes and colors that comes in the Cyborg Generation 8 kit by DzFire. These figures work completely from scratch; they have their own underlying base and aren't really based on a G8F body at all. DzFire built a robot skeleton from scratch and the parts of the various models, the plates and such, apply onto that. I use these figures when I need something that really looks fully robotic with no trace of "human," especially since I refuse to buy the LIFE Androids that the Daz store has been pushing for the last couple of months. I hate the way they look.

Figure 7 is our third Nathy design, SciFi Doll. The leotard item comes with the kit. The base apply is both a morph and a surface rework. Nathy intended SciFi Doll to be petite, as you can see by a height comparison. This loads as a full actor with its own figure, not something you load onto another figure like most of these others (and unusually for Nathy).

Figure 8 is RawArt's Synthoid, which is its own figure. In this case I haven't used the default surfaces because they really are the worst surfaces in the kit. There is also a male Synthoid, which I don't own.

I left out a number of kits in my "robots" list which apply appliances but don't otherwise change the figure: Arctek Cyberwear/Arcwar Cybernetics by Valandar, Cyborg Outfit for G8F by AcharyaPolina, and Plugin Limbs G8F and G8M by PixelSpoiting. I also omitted a couple of outfits which I drop in my robot category among other places because when someone is wearing the whole thing you could swear they were a robot and no one would be able to prove differently: the D6 Peace Keeper outfit by AcharyaPolina, the ShuShuara outfit by Chungdan, and the Spook Assassin outfit by Oskarsson.

And this completes your delivery for today.
