The awkward moment when your friend is doing the robot equivalent of undressing.

From seeing the hand shadow, I’m gonna guess she’s becoming real.

Rob is like: "don't look, don't stare, don't look, & don't stare."

next page?...

Um.. Are tose normal/organic hands under the robotic arms?

So that guy basically designed & built by himself an advanced synthetic body for a fully sentient animatronic and all of that while working in a kid's pizza restaurant possibly with little to no funds or adequate equipment/materials, Dayum dude was pretty much tony stark.

I think she took off her old arms and put on new ones that are more realistic but still robotic

Well with that new body at this point can she still be considered an animatronic or just straight up an android?

Also what about the other 'tronics, Don't know if their ai are as advanced as hers (the comic doesn't appear to have paranormal elements like the game series it parodies).

Probably both. Androids are mostly humans who became partially robotic.
As for the others, Nate admitted that he tried to do for them what he did for Nina, but it took too much out of him and he decided to fully commit to Nina in his last few years

Rob must be fighting an entire worlds worth of temptations, just trying to avoid looking at a. . . what ever the fuck Nina is as this point

Oh ok.

Btw i think partially robotic humans are actually called cyborgs if i'm not mistaken, while androids have realistic humanoid features but still 100% artificial.

No, that's a cyborg. Androids are robots made to resemble humans.

I believe the general difference between an android and a robot is that an android/gynoid is fundamentally designed to appear or act as human as possible.
A robot can be shaped like anything, but to qualify as an android or gynoid, it has to at least physically resemble a human being to the point that it is recognizable as such. It doesn't have to be covered in skin (real or fake) and capable of doing everything a biological human being is, but it does have to at least resemble one.
By that definition, C-3PO, Data, and the Terminators are all androids, and represent a diverse variety of forms that an android can take.
A cyborg, even a cyborg with nothing left but their brain, or a transhuman who uploaded their mind to an artificial brain in a robotic body, is neither a robot nor an android/gynoid. Although technically, a full-conversion cyborg is kind of piloting one like a mecha.
Also, a cyborg or transhuman could easily have a cybernetic body that looks nothing like a human being, making them completely ineligible for even technical status as an android.

By that measure though, Nina is neither a gynoid nor a cyborg. She doesn't look human and she was not born a biological human being.
The best I can offer is that she's closest to an AGI in a synthetic body.
Whether that technically makes her a member of transhumanity due to having been designed, created, and raised by a human being is....debatable. That's the sort of thing entire book series are written about, and even after reading all of Eclipse Phase and Hard Carbon, it's hard to give that answer on a character's behalf.

Kinda hoping she keeps the eyeless and beakless form with her new body. I personally like it more but I'm down with whatever the artist chooses

Everybody be nerding out lol

It's honestly one of the magical things I appreciate so much about this community. That it can also be a place for more pondering and critical thought among the humor and kindness. Part of why I adore sharing my work here with you all.

I'm both enamored and impressed with the sense of intimacy you've managed to depict here, shane. As alive as Nina seems to be, or is, depending on your definition of the word, the actions being shown are quite literally robotic and mechanical, yet it feels as sensual and personal as it would for a flesh-and-blood being, if not more so, and Rob being his dorky self at the end is just a fun and funny emphasis on the feeling.

I can hear Transformers sound effects!

That's very kind of you and I'm dearly grateful. The feelings you describe is exactly what I always pray to achieve.

i'm becoming a real boy now!
