I started work a few years ago on Bianka the Skunkbot from that classic 1920s SF film, <b>Mephitropolis</b> - this is howshe(?) looks before the outer layers were added, aiding her in her adventures among the organics. I can as usual see how I could have drawn this better, especially the hands. Any guesses where that bit of music comes from?
By rights I should add Thanks to the Japanese artist (creator of the Gynoids) whose name escapes me, and Taral Wayne (with a robot skunkette of his own) as influences.

Yes, that's da guy. Taral Wayne did "Sexy Skunk" as a tribute to him, though there was some difficulty with the tail (in TW's version it looked like a velociraptor's somehow). Here, Bianka's tail serves as part radiator and balancing beam, being somewhat flexible. Looking at this I can see how it could have been done better. Ah, well, maybe next time.
I believe she does have some potential; a story based on the Fritz Lang movie, but centered more around her misadventures and a slightly different ending, would be fun to work with. The original story always struck me as being rather curiously sentimental somehow.
I suppose she could cook someone with those things, but I presume she has their power level under better control; sudden cases of spontaneous burnings would tend to make things rather more complicated for her than she would like. There are probably infrared sensors in there as well, she spent a lot of time by herself in the lab so there's no telling what sort of custom parts have been added.
