Edith

Edith moved carefully across the rough terrain, each step clattering against the rocky ground. She held up a lantern to light her way.

Edith's structure is made of simple shapes such as squares, circles and triangles. I added a lamp hanging from a staff to give the robot a more adventurous look, suggesting she goes on regular nighttime adventures.

Orpha

Orpha moved carefully through the cavern, but the loud clank and grind of her tracks soon filled the ancient stone corridors with noise.

Orpha has a blocky, armoured design. She's short and bulky, built more for heavy lifting than for stealth.

Otto’s design shows his wide-eyed curiosity. His round head sticks out like a snail from its shell. He’s driven by a strong desire to explore the mysteries of old Earth.

The wind whistled through the empty streets as Otto watched the lava creep its way down the deserted roadway, a reminder of the chaos left by the city’s former inhabitants.

I wanted this artwork to create a feeling of loneliness and sadness, with a robot searching for its place on a nearly empty planet. The bright red lava against the cool blue concrete adds drama to the scene.
