When it comes to like the mouth designs that I choose for how I draw everyone, it really comes down to how much Rescue Bots effected me in style. And that translates the most when it comes to the fembots. Because hey I do like some designs throughout the variants, but none of them resided in me more then RB, and there was only one female bot.
One of the biggest things that I’ve basically done is the fact that none of the designs that I’ve done for that sheet I made had something close to lips. The closest would be Botanica but that’s just in how I made her jaw shape. None of them have lips, and it all ties to the fact that I liked RBs approach to it
The facial differences are where it’s at for me. Because yes, I do like TFP Arcee’s design, the G1 Fembots are cool too, really everyone is. But it’s only in RB that I’ve found, where they don’t have lips.
And that continues into RBA
They don’t have lips. It’s consistent and it really just hit me how much I drove into it. I call it the puppet jaw, probably not the actual name for them, but this style just clicked into my brain and never left. And it really did start with Quickshadow
Her jaw is what drives the most home to me. And to this day her design it what basically controls how I make faces, so yeah a mystery that wasn’t needed to be solved but here it is. This is why I don’t make lips, still want to try and figure out how ‘lipstick’ would work for them though without looking weird in my brain
