It’s Echoes!

Echoes is a secret project of the Robot Maker, and a submarine that will serve as his mobile and untraceable home and hideout! He suspected that his “job” could lead him into unwanted dangers, so this sub will serve as his escape when the time comes.

Design and concept wise it is based on the Nautilus, the vessel of Captain Nemo from the writings of Jules Verne. Above are some pieces of concept art.

Here is a flat layout test map, mostly made to pin down some ideas. Here’s the interesting thing about Echoes though, there is a central computer intelligence responsible for controlling it and all, yes. But you can’t really classify it as a robot, right? Well, meet Echoes’ two other bodies:

The first “Captain” body is attached to the sub and considered part of it, it physically cannot leave the bridge. As you can figure, it’s responsible for all the captain-y duties and navigation.

The second “Butler” body is completely free to walk anywhere around and even outside the submarine. It’s purpose should be obvious.

Finally, concept artwork of the two humanoid bodies.

forgot to post augh

this is Just C

A very simple robot, made up on a whim. Essentially a robot doppelgänger of another character I have, P Man

this guy.

Just C isn’t evil or anything though.

it is time.

The two robots featured here are Unquiet Slumbers and Quiet Earth, they come in a set along with The Afterglow Machine.

You can think of Unquiet Slumbers and Quiet Earth almost like siblings, they were constructed, programmed, and trained together. Their bond was all they had aside from their purpose. And their shared purpose was to be locked in The Afterglow Machine, a device that will sustain them and itself for... ...hundreds? thousands of years? A very long time, basically. Whenever the time is right, they will be released so that they can explore and survey the world as it is then. It’s sort of like a time capsule that opens itself!

Strangely, when Unquiet Slumbers awakens, Quiet Earth is already gone. The subterranean room the machine was in resembles more of a cave, and the outside world is completely barren. It begins to leave in accordance with its intended purpose, but part of it can’t help but feel somewhat panicked at the absence of Quiet Earth. It is not a thing that they are used to, or ever expected. Unquiet Slumbers now explored this foreign future Earth, devoid of intelligent life except for the one being that it understands.

This one's of a robot I have not yet posted about.

it’s Reviure! This creepy-looking robot is remarkably dangerous, and for two main reasons. First, he is relentless, strong hunter who will not stop chasing his targets. Second, he has the uncanny ability to ‘come back to life’ after being seemingly beaten. 

This ability comes from his origin as a durability tester robot made for experiments with materials, auto-mending technology, padding and armour, and similar things, all to research improvements in robot design. As this usually goes, one test went awry and his padded skin shrunk and burnt until he looked similar to how he does now. 

The Robot Maker was very distressed by this incident, but Reviure was completely fine aside from the cosmetic changes. In fact, he chose to keep this appearance and even asked his creator for some sort of tool or weapon so he can function as a more active robot. He got knife fingers. And while he did become a terrifying hunter, Reviure has quite a casual personality outside of what he calls his ‘job’.

I should post here more often whoops ROBOPOST TIME This is Nile For A While!

He does not have any real lore, but he IS based on a dream a good friend of mine had about me showing off a robot design. I did not recreate it 1:1, but im satisfied with what I ended up making. Nile is, a scarecrow-y, onion-y boy, as you can see. Those larger, root-like tentacle things can actually separate into cylindrical segments which he can manipulate around. This does not leave the head unarmed, though! It has four smaller tentacles of its own to stay in action. Description aside, I really like this one. I was humbled to learn that someone dreamed of me and my crafts. I wish to come up with some lore for Nile someday. Or, in a while.

sometimes I do these little squares or rectangles where I just draw little things it’s quite fun

robobobobopost time! This is Imperial Winter White! He is a caretaker/butler of an old rich widow who commissioned him from the Robot Maker after meeting with a friend, and seeing that she had a robot butler made by him. This lady is a good bit older than her friend though, so to suit her needs, IWW was quickly promoted from butler to caretaker. But, all while he takes care of her affairs in and out of the home, he secretly anticipates her passing. Imperial Winter White already knows that he will be the main inheritor of the lonely widow’s estate, and he is already acting behind her back to arrange himself a path into power. Amidst the anticipation though, he remains caught between quiet distain and genuine sentimentality towards the woman.

What is he to do?

HEY, its robopost time! This is The Power & The Glory (or TPATG for short).

This little fella is an attempt (one of several) to install a leader-type person among the robots. Though, being from a politically-inspired angle, it turns ugly pretty quickly. You see, TPATG is clever. He was very quick to gain the robots’ attention, presented ideas and possibilities and appealed to them, and to seal the deal he rallied the robots against one of the previous leader-types (an army general-type who was quite disliked) leading to their ‘exile’. This led to TPATG being solidified as the de-facto leading figure, with a particularly powerful robot as a bodyguard and all the perks. Not every robot did trust him, no. Specifically some of the more individualistic ones that kept their distance, and the now ‘exiled’ general-type who had a personal reason to doubt TPATG’s actions. Turns out, he was acting with the best of intentions, but only for himself, his ultimate goal being to lead the robots to overthrow their own creator! It was up to the general-type to expose TPATG, and perhaps redeem himself to his brethren. Lore aside, his head is based on a Polish ballot box, he wears a mask over his real face, which is that little creepy screen that can pop out and move around like a SNAKE. He also has no fingers.

the dok... my ultimate masterpiece...

[itisthejohn]

robopost. it’s Out Of Dimension!!! He looks vaguely like a washing machine and art installation in the shape of a bird(?), and his lore is simply just: He’s the crash test dummy for a teleportation experiment. Experiment went wrong. He now wanders a space between reality. What happens to him there is the interesting part, even if the realms he crosses are devoid of life! He’s kind of my little ode to walking simulator-type games that actually focus on the walking and exploration part of it. Y’know, LSD: Dream Emulator and similar stuff.

I don't know if I will ever make a proper robopost about this guy because his lore is hoooooooooooooooooooo boy can you believe that a creature like this has lore like that???
