Description
She's a redesign. Here's the old version:
I originally did her as a custom for a friend, but when said friend fell out of touch with the design I took her back and updated her so that she would be closer to my current abilities. I think it was something like the fifth robot that I designed "in full" (I had a lot of bit and scraps of robots floating around at the time, especially in my sketchbook, but not many finished robot designs.)
I wanted to to do something that would remind one of a chicken/rooster, but the way their legs fold don't sit too well with me, so her legs fold like human legs. The giant tail is a heat collector, that uses the energy in the air to produce the electricity that she uses to move, speak and think. It's not the most effective was to recharge, so she dislikes making big efforts because then she has to stay still for a while to recuperate. The upside of that is that she never needs to take some time to refill her batteries, so even if she is slower than other robots she never stops doing what she does.
She totally gets nicknamed Champagne a lot around this time of the year.
She does have a second arm, it's just that I didn't draw it here so that her waist wouldn't be hidden.
Unshaded version:
