Work in progress 18 (Patreon)

A small update, loaded with sadism, for my most recent creation. I currently have a set rendering, but I don't know when my computer will finish processing all the images, so I'm bringing you a small preview. Here are four screenshots of my latest project, and a couple of images from the set I created with the first prototype, so you can compare.

Initially, with the Tickleebot 1.0, I had thought about including simple bars placed on the balls of the feet as a restraint system, partly to see how something different would look and, yes, I admit it... also partly out of laziness, since I don't know if you can imagine the work involved in molding the rubber pieces that go on the toes, and then placing a metal tensioner on each toe, something that takes as much or more work than doing everything else. Even so, when I was making and editing "Testing the new tickleebot," I was already thinking about how expensive cheap can turn out to be... The bars definitely bother me, both visually, covering an important part of the foot, and by adding an obstacle between the tickler and their object of desire. And all this, if we stop to think about it, to fulfill their function quite inefficiently... Maybe I was in too much of a hurry to use what I had already made until then, but I could always go back and work on the material I had already created...

Ready for the new Tickleebot 2.0?

I don't know about you, but I love the effect the rubber pieces and metal tensioners have on the toes, keeping the feet open and stretched like a pair of flowers in the sun, except instead of waiting to receive its rays, what they're going to receive are the most demented and maddening tickles that the owner of the unfortunate android wants to give them 😈
