For the Whimsical Robots Swap at illustratedatcs.com, each 2.5″ x 3.5″.
Copic markers, fine liners and white gel pen on smooth Bristol Board.
Hermes, the dog, is a very agreeable robot and will also serve as a beer opener. He makes a great companion for amiable-type hermits. Chelsea, the cat, is much more ornery, and suits the sarcastic hermit personality somewhat better. Of course the manufacturer insists that for optimum mental health, everyone should have one of each.
The pony is Gladys. Not recommended for hermits, because she is really too sweet-natured and were a hermit to go into a diabetic coma – nobody around to call 911! She makes a most excellent companion for small children, especially loners. (A blue version with a ball cap called Carlos is available for those opposed to purple.)
Roland the highland cow robot is a deluxe model companion. He performs admirably on guard duty, can detect gas leaks, put out small fires, and will alert you if you’ve left the stove or faucet on. Can also perform minor plumbing and electrical repairs. On pet mode he has a charming and goofy demeanor.
Modern Shaman Maiden (Bree), Green Gele (Nadi), The Nose Knows (Autumn)
Maidens 17, 18 and 16. Each 2.5″ x 3.5″ Copic markers and white gel pen.
These are maidens 17, 18 and 16 for my 100 Maidens project. Is this too many images and stories for one blog post? Feel free to let me know!
#17: Bree’s mother was a missionary in Africa who went native and moved in with a tribal shaman. Bree was born less than a year later and grew up learning the shamanic arts. She spent many summers in Sheffield, England with her aunt’s family, but always preferred the tribe she grew up in. Reference photo.
#18: In Nigeria, a tall elaborate head tie is called a Gele. On her visit there, Nadi got to try on several in a strange little shop lit by lanterns made of green glass.
#16: Autumn was born to wildly hippie parents in the early 70’s. She is a caffeine addict who does tedious technical writing by day, and titillating Star Trek fan fiction by night! Reference photo.

These are awesome!!! A swap of whimsical robots was custome made for you and your great style!! Love them all, Cindy!!
the robots are so much fun and very whimsical indeed!
Wow!! So much to look at! Of these, the pony & the green maiden are my faves! Love the business & the expression on the pony, and the colors and patterns on the maiden – plus her hat is pretty darn cool!
obviously, I’d go for a Chelsea! But Hermes looks so adorably goofy, I might just have to get him too – so Chelsea will have someome to boss around ;)
You sure have been busy…..must be painting in your sleep!
I love the white gel marketers, the highlights they produce……adds just the right accent to these.
Cindy…..you really should think about licensing all this beautiful work! They would be incredibly popular.
Love all these new critters & the new maidens-the last one looks like Barbra Streisand!! Love, Mom
The walk thru was just as cool as I thought it would be thanks for sharing.
Cool robots! That maiden with the red hair’s stare dominates the three. I like the shapes and lines in that one a lot.
OH your robo-beasties are totally fun! I especially like Roland. The shadows underneath him is a nice touch!
Wow. Your been stretching your artistic arms further each time. How you have grown as a professional artist. Ah a thought …teaching may be your next step. For us amazed side folk…
Wow, these are great Cindy! As usual, I can’t decide which is my favorite!
