			This one’s not too fancy: waaay back in 2014 I ended up with a repetitive stress injury, and while I still wanted to contribute to the zine I didn’t want to exacerbate things further. I drew a weird little robot guy with his skin off, inked him with the least painful tool I had available (my trusty brush pen), added some digital color, and called it Good Enough. Now, eight or so years later, my RSI is under control and the issue theme of do-overs was a perfect opportunity to return to that weird little robot guy. I think it worked out pretty okay!

			Aside from trying to preserve a solidly recognizable amount of the original endoskeleton design, I wanted to up the ante with the pose and composition. No longer gazing sadly into the distance, our dudebot is now smugly looking at the viewer and showing off what he’s got, complete with bits of actual (synthetic?) meat to compliment the metal bits, and he’s even grown his hair out a little. How exactly the seams on his chassis work is left as an exercise to the reader. I don’t draw robo-guts very often but they can be pretty fun! His junk situation is modular. Of course it’s modular. There is absolutely no reason why it wouldn’t be. The lack of a specific genital choice also felt like a good way to further lean into the queer-erotica side of the zine despite there not technically being any saucy parts on display, barring one (1) nipple. Gotta keep things pinuppy.

			The background was my attempt to both hearken back to the scribbly waist-height cutoff lines from “Skin Deep” while also breaking up the main silhouette and adding a bit more technological flair to the design. The cables are both ways to get more of that cyan into the shot, ways to keep the harsh circuitry lines from feeling to brittle, and whoooa cooooool dude’s got CABLES in him, that’s a thing robots can do! It helped me keep more visual interest without straying from the limited palette of the original. I’ve been toying with more background-drawing styles lately and this was certainly a fun way to do that.

			This illustration was created entirely in Clip Studio Paint EX, with some of the circuitry referenced from edited royalty-free stock images. No biomechanical hunks were harmed in the making of this image.
