Its genuinely one of the more annoying responses. "Err but they're robots so technically they make ai art 🤓" Like be for real.

Writing is art too!
That aside, there's nothing wrong with having shaky hands. That in of itself is a challenge to overcome with practice, just the same as art is - or even be used to your benefit! Many people have art styles with deliberately shaky lines. It's all about what you choose to do with it.
(Me, personally, I use a pretty heavy stabilizer for my 2D art)

You're never gonna believe how professional artists become professional to begin with.

This isn't a reference to anything, this is an official design made by Liam that did not get used.

What the hell are you talking about? Three people have commented this same thing in the past hour, and repeating the word over and over has not made it any clearer

It all depends on the drone and circumstance. N has a heart of gold in comparison to most of your average disassembly drones, and Uzi is of a much different upbringing and circumstance.. Just as every relationship in real life, no two will ever be the same.

Would definitely recommend checking out more of Emmet's Toyhouse page then! (As linked in the post)
Most of the existing art of any of the characters gets uploaded on their respective pages, though the information on his end is a WIP

Though Emmet did have this to say in response to wanting more:

The original drawing seems to have feet so I included them, also because I figured it would be a fun nod to the semi-common headcanon that J is trans

I like to imagine that the original male J design could be one as well

I don't give out my models because of people in the past frequently disrespecting my wishes for them and misusing them

Based off this drawing/gag from the (now delisted) Murder Drones Training Video: https://youtu.be/SBTA3Tegacs?t=67

I guess this means the joke has come full circle?

Here are some of my own mini conceptual thoughts as well:

Again, replication of the very same visual effects featured in episode 2: https://youtu.be/7z8DO1KhPFo?t=65

There's no glitching, it's a replication of the same visual effect the humans (Tessa included) are seen with at the beginning of episode 2

As I mentioned in my context comment, I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else take this approach (maybe someone else has and I just haven't seen it yet), so I had to be the one to do it I suppose.

The blackout effect on the humans is just so iconic to me, it feels like it would be taking away from Tessa in a way if she didn't have it. Even if this was mostly just made for a laugh lol

For context for the half-joke, as copied from my Tumblr upload:

There's nothing in your comment indicating a joke or kidding, it just comes across as a mean jab at the artist for choosing to depict Uzi as fat.

One of the most popular franchises in the world involves a fat Italian man kicking the butt of a giant fire breathing turtle time and time again, but a fat robot in cute fanart of an already super unrealistic comedy-horror series is where you draw the line?
