haha, I LOVE this robot's design. Not too human but fantastic capabilities of expression with those two big eyes. Love the 'whoops now whut?' pose too.

Thank you!

Awww, love his confused look. Also, how shiny and metallic he is.

I always really thought this guys design was interesting. It's rare, like my own work, that we get to see this guy in color. I like the fact that one eye has color and the other is monochrome.. makes it look like the little screens showing his pupils are malfunctioning.
I really can't NOT see the heads of those giant Irken walkers when I see his head. Do you notice it's the same shape? XD
I like that, what looks like, rubber siding on his torso. I'm guessing its rubber so his torso can bend.

XD the reason a number of his aprts seem mismatched is because he frequently upgrades himself.
XD and I've never drawn that similarity before.
It's supposed to be metal plating, but there might be some rubber in there XD;

So for one, STEEV is an acronym right? For what?
I find this character pretty interesting. Is he a robot who achieved sentience?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, STEEV stands for Software Thieving Elusive Electronic Vandal.
He comes from a planet where all robots are sentient. They were originally created by humans many millenia ago, but for whatever reason, the humans vanished. (either from extinction or migrating back to the mother planet-Earth) So, any trace of people remains in the myths of the robots, some believing they never existed, some believing that they still do live on.
STEEV himself, is just trying to live, with the goal of being as advanced and upgraded as he possibly can get. Thus he steals software and parts to keep him on the cutting edge..Problem is, he's wanted by the MegaCorporation, G-Tech, so he lives somewhat an outlaw life.

Haha is that his original model name? Something's telling me he made up that name for himself.
So this is an alternative universe and isn't Earth? That's pretty neat, I actually really like this idea.. it's almost movie worthy.
So he has an addiction for upgrading eh? He'd better be careful, make sure none of those parts cause an incompatibility issue or I/O conflict. Though I'm sure all that is second nature for him. XD

Something he made up himself. XD His real 'name' is M-MTU-228, originally designed to be like a secratary or assistance droid.
Same universe jsut a different planet way ahead in the future.
>w> He's rather skilled with making sure he equips with the right components.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly what I figured, now how about his real name? Is that a serial number or is that an acronym too?
OOOOOh, very interesting!
I'd guess so.. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In universe, it's basically the name he was given at the production line. Out-of-universe, the M-MTU jsut means: Mech Made This Up. XDD;

Haha nice easteregg there. XD

Your lines are very smooth, very well formed, and mix with the style perfectly. The colouring and shining is superb to the tiniest detail, the drawing itself has some of the best examples of master artistry I have seen. How you manage to work personality, expression, and emotion into a robot it simply mind blowing. I love the details on the left hand's apendages, but they seem to be missing the same style of detail on the other hand. It may be a lighting effect, but I still find the right hand to be lacking the same realisim of the left.
Other than that, the shading is well placed and realistic to the full degree.

Thank you very much. ^^
I think what I was trying to do with the hands was show that they are of different componenets. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish I knew of that detail, therefor I would have not of mentioned it in my comment.
I like the concept, I am intrigued greatly by the character. I think he has gained yet another fan. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I should have mentioned it in the artist comments or something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No harm done. ^^
A plausible reason may be that some robots were deamed useless or defected, therefore they were left one some planet to be used as a junk yard. Of course, the A.I within the robots developed to a point of understanding, and self-awareness. As they advanced, they soon began building their own civilzation. Well, there's my thought on that concept.
The idea of humans becoming a myth and urban legend is interesting, especially considering how we were promised robots ten years ago and we are still awaiting to see a fully operational one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm.. I like that idea. 8D
XD Good point. Where are our robots, and hover cars, and self cooking pizzas already? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh really? That is the first time anyone has ever liked my idea. Well, there was that one day at work I convinced everyone that shooting balloons with a dart gun was a good idea. Well... it was until it one of the televisions on the wall.
Scientists promised us hoverboards. What do we get instead? Windows Vista.
Self-cooking pizzas, isn't that considered suicide?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Keep livin' the dream though.
Self cooking pizzas: the hot, tasty suicide of choice in the year 3423!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivin' on a dream!
If they can commit suicide, doesn't that show they are selfaware of their existance? And therefor can turn on us humans?! O_O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ No worries. By then, Healthier foods will become self aware and fight the pizza in the never ending Junk Food Wars. ^^

For some reason, I think that dancing man is canadian! AWESOME!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome design is awesome
Also I just noticed that he has a squared-shaped hand. Any ideas behind that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much.
^^ His left arm is different because he likes to upgrade himself whenever possible. That square arm holds a hidden grenade launcher, though he forgets to load it most of the time XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're welcome ^^
Oh I see 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
being a thief, his arms and legs are msotly kept hollow to stay light and to store stolen goods >w>
