Topic: Could I/Should I robotify this character more?

Posted under Art Talk

I hope this is the right place to ask this.

Her backstory is that she's an erotic chatbot who'd evolved to the point of sapience, and arranged to get a biodroid body for herself.
I did originally give her more doll-like limbs. Then I figured that made her design alot more messy, and since she's supposed to have synthetic skin anyways, she'd probably want to look more smooth and appealing with that background? And I tried to keep some hint that she's a robot by putting little gaps where her skin would crease (the black parts).
But then most everyone I show this to thinks she's just a regular shark.

So, yeah, should I try to robotify her more, and any tips on how?
I was thinking of maybe putting more techno light lines on her, but not sure where to place them.

Also she's got bender mouth.

I would, personally, robotify more. Maybe adding some "gaps" around the belly lines, and other places like around "muscle areas".

Currently it just hits me as some fancy body markings on an organical creature, or a organical creature wearing some weird but dope clothes.

Its not a very good rendition of a robot.

the first problem is her flesh she has too much of it and not in the right places. More gears to replace the joints would improve tremendously ur oc. the eyes would be more realistic as leds or camera lenses. I'm not a good critic but i hope i helped.

to help I fetched some examples all for you

Yeah shoot. Was worried about that. But expected it.

I think I'm getting some ideas on how to like, segment her more while still keeping her appealing, thanks for your inputs fellow pervs, much appreciated.
