Robogirl

Posted by HM Admin on Nov 15, 2014

The fascination of humanoid creations has been around for centuries. In 1927 we had the classic German silent film Metropolis and the strangely erotic female robot creation. In 1983 the band Styx released their album “Kilroy was Here” featuring the song Mr. Roboto once again entertaining the man /machine character. Our culture has embraced the many films and novels that deliver us into a world of mechanical beings that live among the humans. Most recently the Steampunk genre has produced a musical pantomime troupe Steam Powered Giraffe not only giving a fanciful take on humanoid creations but has inspired people to recreate the clever makeup designs by this group. That is what leads us to this tutorial on the Robogirl.
