 *hair toss* I guess even robots can be a little bit devilish

A bit more organic than I'd prefer for something for march of robots, but I'm happy with the design nonetheless :>. This one's meant to be an oni rather than a demon but I guess there's enough overlap that the theme kinda gets across.

If we're talking lore for my setting, the regular robots are meant to be characters, but the cabal of Over Gods are meant to have speechless "demon" servants that I've tentatively called Machine Daemons. I often try to think about ways to differentiate these two groups beyond the fact that daemons don't talk (or vibrate their skin to produce words etc). Sometimes I picture daemons as more savage and jaggedly shaped, other times I think they should have horns or halos because they're servants of Divinity ... though nothing has stuck so far.

One thing that has been somewhat stable though is that the more powerful the form they perma-transform into is the more likely the individual is to be overtaken by one of the Over Gods - those Over Gods are like giant supercomputers with their own pocket dimensions, so they exert strong influence wherever they can.

A lot of cyborgs carry a little bit of influence with them because the connection to the Over Gods lets them perform useful skills, magics and feats. This way they can teach each other abilities even when they respectively have extremely different body formats.

Most of the illustrations I post are oneshots, so maybe these and the accompanying writings are all my practice attempts to get to a place where I know exactly what the things in my setting should look / be like. Part of the fun comes from the exploration and not knowing where I'll take these.

Thace Syndicate top of the line frame, "Queen" is a powerful mech with cutting edge speed and tech ensuring its supremacy. Queens are field leaders and often issue field commands and coordinate attacks, one queen on the field is enough to turn the tide of any battle. You will never find this mech alone, the queen is always accompanied by at least 2 lower ranked mech units.

Queen clones are the rarest, given rigorous training and brutal conditions many young Queen clones do not make it through training. Only the strongest become a Queen, a title which has shown to boost the morale of nearby clones. Queens are social pariahs, their words are law for the clones it commands. this usually leads the queen's ego outside of combat is often grandiose this sentiment is universal to Queens.

No queen has ever been declared Errant however if even a singular queen could insight a riot amongst the Syndicate this while off mission Queens are also backup up engineer for the squad they're apart of.

Beyonder

Rend, Rip, Transform in phase, machines unleashed in different ways, forms that pierce beyond the veil, Metal Masked Machines refuse to fail Reject the mecha industrial complex. Embrace transforming biomechanical void constructs from Beyond an Infinite Haze.

I saw a thread helped me understand my setting a little more, I think it helps me get why I like biomechanical patterns so much, I don't want the escapism to just be robots looking like war machines, I want the Transfiguration of shape and function to be a central theme too.

What does this form let the character do? How does it reflect their goals? I'll frequently draw them with armcannons, claws or swords, but the idea is that despite looking like weapons they're choosing to be adventurers and explorers out in the untamed wilds and spirit breaking labyrinths, rather than conquerers, obliterators and annihilators. That being said this kind of distinction would probably only make it through in storytelling and not the oneshot illustrations I've been doing.

Some transhumanist escapist art, while being incredibly cool and detailed, also goes way too close into looking like a real world tank for my liking. There is a pain response in my mind when I consider the possibility of my art going the same way.

The Thace heavy support frame "Bishop" began development when an on-mission squad encountered a prototype white witch.

Bishop was the first Thace frame to use the reverse engineered Ferroactive technology. By remotely controlling the liquid from distance the Bishop is able to create defences such as walls and traps as well as give units around it a reactive armour. This does come at a cost of Bishop having little to no offensive combat abilities.

Bishop are two person mech to operate at peak performance without the use of an on board comp/con. Clones breed to pilot Bishops are bonded from creation, allowing them to work effectively as a single unit. It is noted that though most clones try to distinguish themselves with defining mannerisms and personal affects Bishop pairs tend to appear identical in both of these aspects. If during intense combat one of the Bishop pilots is killed the remaining clone will become enraged and rush the mech who attacked it, utilising its ferrofluid to encase its target. Once it's reached its target it will self-destruct its core as an attempt to take them both out at once. Thus modifications have been made to ensure if this were to occur the damage caused by a self-destruction is immense.
