Hi! The internet calls me DudeTheNinja. You might know me for either drawing robot girls or making TF2 mods. You'd be right. I also like trains. he/him, ace

A Saprina Update

I updated the Saprina mod for TF2! Now features use of the "Source proportion trick", even better facial expressions, and some cosmetic support!

Future plans include redoing the textures, more cosmetic support, some custom animations, and more!

Goth Aki

once again i dont know what to call this specific branch of alt-adjacent fashion but "goth" is a close enough umbrella term because of how watered down it is these days

also i used gaia online for labbing the fit again! pretty useful for that sort of thing occasionally

[dudetheninja]

based on a format that i saw make the rounds on twitter

[dudetheninja]

Unlike her more sociable mannequindroid friends, Gina takes her job of being a store mannequin very seriously.

today was my birthday so i drew Aki cosplaying my sona to celebrate

[dudetheninja]

drew Saprina in a maid outfit bc i felt like it

Cassie, Classic Ma'am

hi!! hello!! i made a new video! it focuses cassie, a robot girl i designed and modeled for the TF2Maps jam back in December!

here's some of the art in the video i made in their original quality too:

Space Station Stewardess Aki

Aki in a sci-fi-style outfit inspired by something I cooked up in Gaia Online.

Sketch (including the outfit for reference):

daydreaming

[dudetheninja]

Designed a robot girl based on the Blaze from Minecraft. (I don't have a name for her yet)

[dudetheninja]

It may look like she's just sitting on a table, but Annie's actually hard at work advertising clothing. (She totally wasn't just daydreaming.)

This has been the first proper piece I've done in a month. Sorry about that, I've just not been feeling well and my sleep schedule has been in ruins. This took about a week to get done on-and-off as a result.

Goth Mannequin Gina

Gina in a gothish getup. I know it's moreso just alt than "true" goth, but I thought it'd be cute to draw her in this nonetheless.

alt variants (backgrounds n stuff):

and here's the sketch because i think i should share the sketches to places like here more:

[dudetheninja]

Nobi dressed as a magician.

The first of hopefully more Halloween art pieces to come. I don't think I'll do any more lineless painted ones though.

Initially I wanted to go with a brighter red for her suit so I could joke that she stole Ninja's hat to complete the costume, lol.

Simpler background alt:

saw a post on twitter of a tall girl taking a selfie in the mirror so i got inspired to draw my own Certified Tall Girl (seven feet tall) doing the same

mirrorless alt

[dudetheninja]

saprina takin' selfie

had fun doing another monochrome piece after not doing one in a lil while, a more casual-themed piece featuring saprina (who i dont draw much) helped chip away at creative block

alt versions with no mirror and also no shade layer:

Aki and Luna "model swapped"

Aki and Luna "model swapped" - a bit like outfit-swapping, but with design traits of different robots. (Aki with Luna's mannequindroid traits, and Luna with Aki's doll traits.)

Decided to do something fun and experimental in multiple ways. 1: A "model swap", which is like a style or outfit swap but for robot models. Here, I've drawn Aki as an MDL-H mannequindroid and Luna as an ARC doll-jointed android (they're usually the other way round).

I decided to give Aki a drawn-on face because I wanted to illustrate (haha) the fact that some mannequindroids work around their static or nonexistent faces by using dry-wipe markers to draw facial expressions and details that they wouldn't demonstrate otherwise. I've entertained the idea of Annie doing this, but have never drawn it.

2: Lineless but done not in my normal lineless workflow (linework, then flat colours, then doing rendering on top of both of those). Instead, I went straight into painting, only just blocking out areas with flat colour beforehand over a sketch layer. This is a bit more typical for painting traditionally from what I'm aware, so it was a fun challenge. I do think the overall proportions are a little wonky, particularly on Aki (who I did first). That might be because of my initial sketch though. I think Luna came out very nicely however.

And for some alt versions (without speech bubbles, and a couple of alternate "face doodles" on mannequin Aki's face):

[dudetheninja]

Stella is a mannequindroid with many jobs:

full-time store assistant (which sometimes includes display model shifts)

trainee lifeguard on weekends

occasionally an emergency rescue float

Finally a more "formal introduction" for Stella.

The idea of her being a lifeguard came from a discussion with a friend over a pool/leisure centre being entirely staffed by mannequindroids (who also worked in a small shop that's part of the centre), then I brought up the idea that a lifeguard mannequin would work well due to being rather buoyant, (though not so good at resuscitation due to being unable to administer mouth-to-mouth ventilation.)

Here's a better look at the individual full-body piece:
