BUB-8s Face and Companion Detail


Her logo is derived from rotating her face panel design 4 times. Like Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt, BUB-8s carries an homage to the Moon via the 360 camera on her forehead.



The typeface used for her name is an original font I created called "Viscera Regular". I felt it had an appropriately mechanical but decorative quality that matches the character.

Process:
The design for this mech began with its 2 main features being its long legs with feet that resemble high heels, and a perched seat for a pilot/operator to sit on.


Another objective of this design was to juxtapose a very complex, mechanical, and dangerous-looking character with a very soft, bubbly, and cartoonish character.


After a couple variations, I enjoyed how the arms that stem from the hips created a more interesting silhouette, and decided to go with it.
