Hey everybody, hope I'm not too late!

Here's my rendition of Rosetta; since one of her descriptions was "snobby", I thought she would consider herself better than other people, so I gave her some shiny, high-tech armor. The sword does not have to be constantly present, but can be projected when needed (in case those 'savage aliens' get rowdy).



I see her as perfectly capable of generosity and kindness, but definitely one not to me messed with. Don't be deceived by her delicate design; she's well versed in the sophisticated art of the sword, and can fight circles around any brutish alien

Hey everyone,



finally got them finished! (Luckily in time ;D)





The first one is a quite 'normal' type of humanoid robot, having a proud but strict face, as I imagine a noble and by-the-book human person to have.





The second one (like the first) is an upright standing, strong and correct, but more abstract type of robot.

To show that she's noble, she's made of a bright, white metal, with golden embellishment.

And for symbolizing the 'enlightment' she's bringing to the savages, she has wing-like extensions on her shoulders and kind of 'glasses'.





The third one is more the small, cute robot. This one is inspired by weebo (flubber), 'cause I've always thought that weebo is really adorable and therefore perfect to make first contact to savages.

This robot is floating in the air, using small crystals on the bottom, and has an integrated display to show pictures and video clips of the modern humans or their memories.

1. first design .. technical she hat no sword but some blades to cut grain and stuff smiley: zipper

2. A Round design is a smooth snoby neutral communication design ! All Stars and Planets are round (ya ..the most .. :P) so even new species will understand the design .. the blade can flip in the body .. its only the last .. communication skill smiley: zipper

3. Beep boop beep ! Evry species will understand this ! . nothing more to say

I would love to see a red coat kind of colonial robot. Golden cavalry saber, suave female British accent, white gloves worn at all times, and never looks you in the eye.



For your consideration,

-Connor

Truly, Cesterwo, that was what was in my head as a visual for QV1819 when I thought of the background, but was worried that it would veer too close to deena/ken. But maaaybe I'm wrong!

Heavily influenced by the Titan concept art on the devblog!



Roughly human sized. My Rosetta submission is a little armored since negotiations with natives aren't always peaceful.

But it was much more slender in my head that it came out on paper!



The idea is that Rosetta was so effective at er..."Pacification" after planetfall, that the Vaulters modeled the Titans of the future in her image in the ages after DotE!



As time went on models became bigger and bulkier and more defensive in nature from necessity--the need to defend the great halls and corridors, thus they gradually lost any sense of gender identity---which is just superimposed on machines anyway--Becoming the Titans we know today with just a slight resemblance!



I was debating rather or not to submit it, I find Skorcha's submission so charming that I'd probably end up voting for it regardless lol! It's charming and just -BLEEDS- DotE!

But anyhow. Here it is <3 enjoy.

Yeah, I noticed how the background of "civilizing the natives" was super similar to European colonization of South America and Africa, and I tried to do a classic European steampunk-style design, but I wasn't skilled enough.

Here's a little clue to that - Q(ueen)V(ictoria)(born)1819

So this is my attempt at drawing my impression of Rosetta QV1819. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, its just a pencil sketch (with very expensive pencils mind you) and the lighting wasn't particularly good for the picture. It's also rather messy because I changed my mind a lot and my eraser was being annoying...



A rundown of its features and quirks:

The most noticeable to pieces are the face and the chest.

The chest area is actually empty in the middle, the center circle is magnetically suspended and changes color with her thoughts and emotions. The area around it is empty space and the rest of the chest area is a solid but light alloy.

The head is an interesting story. The part with the eyes is actually a screen capable of displaying information as well as her eyes. Her optical sensors are behind the screen. Below the screen is a physical mouth that opens and closes as it converses. The spikes on top are mostly cosmetic, but they are also her way of smelling and detecting emotions of those around her. The two spikes on either sides are her ears, they're kind of like elf ears.



Due to her personal "promotion", Rosetta wears and ornate cloak, visible below her body as several darkened strips. It is made of six tail like segments that each have angled tips and are increasing in size as the come towards the middle.

Her legs are simple, but her feet have and almost high-heeled boot kind of design. Due to being metal, they're quite durable.

Her arms are also quite simple, similar to human arms. On her forearm, she has a small projector each, capable of displaying information for herself or those around her. On the backs of her forearms, she has a blade weapon made of several segments capable of collapsing on itself for storage.

Here is my entry.

I decided that a robot designed for interacting with locals would have a "friendlier" and less mechanical look to them. Since QV1819 has a bit more personality than the average model of her kind, she decided to stick out a bit by wearing a scarf and some silk gloves (but nothing too extreme, she is still by-the-books after all) The snobby aspect was challenging to convey, but I thought giving her a fencing style sword (since fencing is something usually seen as "high class") would be more appropriate than a claymore or something. I also believed giving her a librarian style "hair" bun also added a bit to the snobby aspect.

It's a little rough, but I'm not really an artist. :-/ I see a lot of other people are channeling similar ideas to mine though! We must be on the right track!



The idea here is that Rosetta is the EVE to Opbots WALL-E. She is sleek, sharp and doesn't use mechanical joints; relying on magnetic repulsors instead. Her sharp, edged angles convey her potentially arrogant and logical personality. I also liked the idea of her using hard-light projections to change the shape of her face and hands so that she could better 'relate' to whatever species she was interacting with (they'd see her as less alien) as well as educate them by providing visual aids (globes and such). This also provides an easy way of giving her a weapon/blade, as she can easily turn her hand(s?) into one.



This could also give her some visual personality in-game, as both her face, hands and weapons could flicker on and off or shutter with static from time to time. It would make her read clearly as a "robot" without occupying the same hard, "mechanical" visual space as Opbot. Although I imagine her having a white/grey body with blue projections, really any assortment of colors could do (old school DOS green for her projections would have a charm all its own for example). The goal was to just make her clean and precise.



Potential Idle Animations:

- Rosetta trying to find the perfect weapon by rotating through an assortment of hard-light images. Hammer? Mace? Trident? Sickle? Sword.

- Rosetta putting on the different faces and postures of various enemies. Sometimes a necrophage, other times and orc... and so on.

- Rosetta's story is with Opbot, and she falls in love with him after first assuming he's a worthless scrap heap (because underneath her cold exterior beeps the heart of a romantic!). After that point her face occasional shifts to look like his, and is followed by a heart.
