About the Artwork


Creating art is a journey. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to craft a unique piece—a robot made from recycled items and found objects. This project was not just about making art; it was about challenging myself. I set several goals for this creation.


The Robot's Traits


To design the robot, I used "Bill Making Stuff's Junkbot Generator." You can find the generator here. The traits I rolled for my robot are:


  • Body: Too Many Wires

  • Head: Cyclopean

  • Arms: Wired

  • Hands: Electric

  • Legs: They Call Me Wheels

  • Flavor: Ronin


Contest Entry


I also decided to enter this piece into the CupCup Division of the Original Mecha Contest. You can check out the contest here. The requirements for this division are:


  1. Include a cup in the piece.

  2. Include a ping pong ball in the piece.

  3. The entire build must fit in a 6-inch cube.


Character Development


This character ties back to my previous artwork, Puzz-L the Capable. You can learn more about Puzz-L here. For this new character, I decided on the following traits:


  • Gender: Female

  • Role: Vocalist

  • Instrument: Musician who plays the lute


Themes of Awareness


Incorporating themes of Breast Cancer Awareness into this artwork was essential. I aimed to blend creativity with a cause that resonates deeply.

The Short Story


Another goal for these art pieces is to create a short story based on my experiences and learnings throughout the project. This story will help build the World of Aodhanis (pronounced eh-yawn-is), a sci-fi/fantasy universe that serves as a blank canvas for these narratives.

Conclusion


Art is a powerful tool for change. It can inspire, educate, and bring communities together. As I continue my journey, I hope to create more pieces that resonate with others. Let's keep pushing boundaries and supporting causes that matter. Together, we can make a difference!
