She did start off with a solid body.. but I had to go all twisted on her. still some ways to go on her. possible palette change and more readable details to add. Also need to fix that clown looking boob. thats not a clown head.

Color choices are kinda weak and boring in that they fail to define anything and help the viewer read female bot right away...moar sexy?

Well, its an easier read but I like the idea you had prior to this update which is more creative.

Of course this is still a WIP but you may be crossing the line with the open vagina and complete loss of 'bot' in the update.

Colors are fugly! Try this http://www.pixelfor.me/crc/

Lol..That is funny...the link you had me check out. Before that, I just spent 2 hours on my own breaking down the color ramp. The Luminesence, Hues, Saturation. The values of colors. etc. Ofcourse I drew as I studied. Heres the example

Its far better to do your own and learn from doing that.
The link was just to maybe spark your brain as even in your chart you seem to be inclined to make color choices that are somewhat low in contrast and generally dirty palettes.
Colors are tough in pixelart :/

I know what you mean. My colors do say alot about how I view things. I really do push away from bold colors. Something about them. sh*t...my wardrobe is a collection of faded color T's. Also I have this habit of staring into a blur.. My eyes are not as they were 10 years ago. Outside of pixeling.. I do alot of lite charcoal,penciling and pen work. No painting. So..I dont work with alot of colors. When I do, its colored pencils, and usually those are very saturated. I guess I like Saturation. Like Ive said before..something to work on and give it a try.. Ill find a good bold palette..and test myself with it.

I'm going to be unoriginal here and just say that it I would probably look at H.R. Giger for inspiration, because... well, he's pretty much the king of weird, naked, sexual robot chicks. Maybe he can give you some ideas about what to do with that vagina. (What a weird sentence)

While I agree that you need to work on that palette, I do like the earthy, almost ceramic tone you were going for originally. I have a fetish for machines with dull stone or ceramic textures.

In regards to the overall design, I'd like to see something between the original and your latest version, because the original was too hard to read and just looked like scrap metal with legs (in my eyes), whereas the latest version is just a sexbot / gynoid.

A very promising piece. I hope you don't rush this!

Shouldn't there be some kind of passcode entry type for sexual wip threads so that young pixel members don't have to see this kind of thing?

Art is also sexual. It doesn't make it sick Jal lol

I do agree about her.... Openness lol. I feel it will be pretty pointless and doesn't add to the piece really.

Also I would say maybe define what kind of bot she is.

Like is she full metal old fashioned or "ball jointed" fleshy doll style or even a cyborg so you can just choose what parts of her body are not human.

My eyes! I NEED AN ADULT!

But yeah... readability (as mentioned beforehand) is a bit wierd.

Couldn't he just put a "18+" tag and all would be good?

PJs current staff view when adding pixels to the
gallery regarding sexual or even possible sexuality
is on a case by case basis but fairly obvious
when we see pieces.
Nudity of any kind is Art 101 and never censored
when the piece clearly demonstrates the intent
is art for art's sake.
Clearly sexual, erotic or suggestive pixels may
just need a warning on the preview if very
tame but may be sent back because PJ membership
starts at 13yo and PJ has members all over the
world and we try to be sensitive to cultural
differences. This kind of thing applies to many
subject matters and is not limited to pron.
For example, pixels that have iffy religious,
political subject matter are weighed on its own merit.
We try not to censor anything and believe in creative freedom.
We focus on pixelart as a medium and 'judge'
technique not concepts and ideas. Only when a
concept or idea crosses into offensive matter
do we step in and ask that the artist
censor themselves.
A classic case of this. You pixel a Nazi/Hitler
pixel and if its just used a subject of its own
then its probably fine. Say an enemy/hero in
a game project. This may be offensive to a
viewer but in an of itself not generally an
offensive thing. However, if they are depicted
in 'that' way then it is subject to refusal
because its intent is offensive.
Controversy is an entirely different matter and
highly desired and one of the best ways any
artist grows and matures. Either by discussion,
thoughts and forcing us to think/face deeper
than we might otherwise...ya noes, the point of art.

Jal is always on point lol, nicely said.

In the end it's your artwork and you have to create what you want.

I think balance between sexy and sex is always good because less is more when it comes to this kind of subject.

You could even make a hinting design of some type to make the viewer seem close to seeing what you want, like a well placed cloth or something obscuring the viewer in a playful manner.

Ugh. We can easily make this a hot button topic but we all know PJ likes clinging to it's status quo like an old man likes to cling to his bowl of oatmeal. So I'm just gonna leave a few bulletin points and skedaddle.

One. I would LOVE to see something like this on PJ one day. Royo, Vallejo, and Frazetta (among others) have been great influences on me while I was developing my keen artistic senses. Yet, for the most part, you have to skulk about in dark alleys to find other people who also admire their works.

Two. The porn vs violence debate annoys the f**k out of me. Exploding brains are fine, an erect penis is not.

Three. "The children" battlecry is weak and lame. (Not just PJ, places in general.) Are there 13 year old members? Yes. Are they active contributing participants of the community? f**k no. They register, 1-hit wonder, and leave never to be seen again. The rest of us are penalized for their very existence and not for any offense they actually suffered.

And thus concludes today's use of the emergency bitching system, you may come out from your homes and places of hiding.
