Robotic spirit of Light - Zenia - Completed

Re: Female Android - Zenia

I remember having seen something on TV about a sort of mathematical formula to beauty, sounds pretty madeup yeah, but I tried to find that when I started making Cyrah's face but never found it, now I searched for it again and found a whole website dedicated to this stuff. The formula is called "Phi" or "The golden ratio" of which the ratio is 1 part to 1,618.

On the website were also plans to make a tool that can measure beauty in every living object and other designs, and it's so damn awesome when you first run around with it and measure things. It's everywhere on all living things, well unless you are really ugly that is...

Turns out everything on Zenia's face was just right, only I need to fix her cheeks and nose a bit further, but after that she will be officially beautiful. And of course I also measured Cyrah's face later and also found that everything was right there too, so that's pretty darn good when I just looked my way to what was pretty on her when I made her face, so Cyrah is officially beautiful too.

The other day I was actually very confused if I should still use the body I bought for Zenia since it is so damn huge and she was originally planned to be small, then I of course found an auction for a smaller body and didn't know what to do then either, so I made a drawing of Zenia's new body with her head on top of it, and it actually turned out looking pretty good.

Maybe in the end she will look more awesome as a big glowing Terminator chick instead of being a small Android that would most likely be mistaken as being a child or something next to Cyrah. Now I think maybe Cyrah will look like a child next to Zenia...

Also making these drawings to copy and print will give me many "templates" that I can scetch some designs on until I hit the right one.

Haven't posted anything here for a while, but have been working on this in the meanwhile and even put up a buildup page of it that is updated whenever I get more photos done of the things I've built, so take a look if you wish.

Re: Female Android - Zenia

Wow im speechless. So much work with her, and these resolutions of the eyes and hair...awesome. Though if you let me advice a bit, i would say, if you'd make her irises bigger, she'd earn a more realistic look. Most of asians' eyes are showing little of the white parts compared to the europeans' eyes.

And well i believe that her hair would be prettier if you'd change the lenght of it- i mean, long in the front, and becoming short in the back of the head.

Looking forward to see this one finished.

Re: Female Android - Zenia

Good that you liked it. Yeah I thought about changing her irises a bit to make them look more straight forward, so can make them larger then, I think that would be better too.

Actually the hairstyle is one that I wanted for her a long time before building her, so I will keep it that way and add fiber optics to it soon.

Project is sort of in a hold right now since I have too much to do, and I have a new secret project that is similar to this one.

Well, that was completely off topic, so I'll just go ahead and believe that you are a commercial bot that somehow made it in here.

Yes, lets do some yoga and pilates.

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia

Got to work some more on this project now that the sun is getting tired from the summer and is sleeping earlier than before, so I have plenty of hours left that I can't use on my outdoor dinosaur project that I can spend on this instead.

Just finished off the head lights today, so the head is just about completed, leaving the rest of the stuff to work on.

Making the irises bigger actually made her look better, so thanks to moniee for that tip.

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia

I started this project probably three years ago as the second robot statue I had, but now I've got three others finished and still one on hold after this one is done. This one was kept on hold for a very long time with only the head finished, but now I'm finally able to complete this thing once and for all.

The final head details have been added, minus some more hairs for the middle of the head that will be added later on to fill in the scalp.

I also finished adding computer monitor joints in between the torso pieces, though the space in between the parts will be made wider to fit better with the now finished leg joints. She is already taller than me who's 6'3", so she will probably be around two meters tall when she's done.

I used a bunch of small speaker mounts that can turn in two directions and supposedly hold up several kilos of stuff, so they worked just perfectly for this project. The knee joints were modified to only turn one way though, never seen anyone turn their knees sideways.

Coolest thing that I didn't even anticipate is that she can free-stand on her own.

Now the legs are all adjusted and done, today I will adjust the torso more and start working on the arms, then I have the hands left that I have also decided to give full articulation if that succeeds at all. She will then have glowing spots all over her body like the big blue alien chicks from the movie Avatar. No need to use fiber-optics or anything for that since the fiberglass body is somewhat transparent, so all I need to do is to spray paint the thing and use a small sharp dremel bit to grind small dots all over her body that will then let light through the fiberglass from the inside.

Also I know this thing is not real or alive when I call it "she" and "her", but if people can call their boats and cars "she", then I am sure as hell allowed to call an actual female shaped object "she" too!

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia

I put the whole body together a couple of days ago. The joints were somewhat too weak and wobbly for it to freestand, the head is actually heavier than the whole rest of it, but once I altered the calf spigot of the glass base plate, it stood up sturdy enough. Not sure if these joints will hold or if I have to find something else. I think a different system with spiral gears and all would be better and sturdier, but I don't know where to get any of those. Anyway, she's freakin' huge! 6 feet and 5 inches tall, probably even more. Taller than me anyway.

Photobucket seems to delete even undressed mannequins, so I just drew over the girly bits. If anyone knows of any better joints like the spiral gear ones that you have to rotate a knob or screw on to make the joint move or anything else, please let me know.

I used these exact speaker mounts. They allow for each joint to move in two directions.

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia - Completed

Completed this project really late today. Didn't even get to bring it from the work room to my apartment yet, but got at least one photo fixed up for now. Didn't turn out too bad. I just hope this nearly 2 meter tall robot chick will be able to stand after how heavy it got in the end. Still I did mount some joint locks on it, so it should be stable enough.

More photos coming soon after clothes have been made for it, and well, it's been assembled.

Fascinating.

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia - Completed

Thank you, Mr. Spock.

Now, does anyone know how to resize images? They resize automatically from photobucket, but not from my website.

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia - Completed

This is definitely my favorite of the bunch and IMHO, the best one you've done to date. Nice work!

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia - Completed

Thanks for thinking so. It was greatly inspired by the Femisapien robot with lightspots inspired by the movie Avatar. Even the pose up there was made as a homage to Avatar.

Like all the others, whatever colors I gave them was completely random, and I have no idea why I built all these in the first place, then it turned out they reminded me a whole lot of the Lego toy series Bionicle that I used to love as a kid, being a story about these various living robotic heroes with different elemental powers.

Then I searched around on the web, and it turned out the real life five elements depicted in pentagrams and such had the same colors as these robot chicks I made, so that was pretty darn weird right there, and I'll most likely try to make a story about them with these five elements as a theme for whatever it is these chicks are meant for in the story.

Only the air spirit left to build then!

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia - Completed

I've been trying to work out a mount for my FMMF, and that speak mount is a brilliant idea.
Anyway, this looks amazing. I know you've posted your inspirations, but the robot from Fritz Lang's Metropolis springs to mind as well...

Re: Female robot statue - Zenia - Completed

I have no idea what an FMMF is, but I'm glad you found a solution for that. They seem to be strong enough to hold several kilos, only the user manual says 3 kilos, the box says 5 kilos, the underside of the box says 8 kilos, the store says 7 kilos and so forth, so it an FMMF weighs between 3 and 8 kilos, it should be fine.

Thanks Yes the robot from Metropolis has always been in my inspirational photos folder, but I never got to put any details from it on any of these robot chicks, so maybe I will get to trick some in on the final gold colored one. In my mind these fictional highly evolved living robot chicks who can choose what they want to look like would make themselves more sleak and elegant like the way I made them than looking like a bunch of box-like panels and what not, so I don't know.

Anyone know if the Metropolis robot was gold colored by the way? I've seen photos of it as gold, but that might just have been a photo edit. I know things weren't really black and white in the old days...
