It was 1 year ago today that I uploaded my comic “The Robots of Love” to FembotWiki.\u00a0 And it was just over a year ago that I finished it.\u00a0 My final lettering and final addition of “LEDs” to the faceoff scenes occurred just 30 minutes before 2009 started.<\/p>\n

Of course, I can’t take credit for the whole thing.\u00a0 The amount of work I did on it is minuscule compared to what the artist “Predator” and the colourist Simon Wright did.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy part was only to pay for the work, supply the script for Predator, and do the lettering.\u00a0 I think I did a good enough job to do the work of the other two artists justice.\u00a0 Looking at the whole thing again just makes me tremendously happy.<\/p>\n

I only wish I could have made it longer.\u00a0 This was a very expensive project, but any commissioned comic is expensive if it’s done by professionals.\u00a0 And I don’t regret spending a single cent.\u00a0 “The Robots of Love” is by far my favorite ASFR work.\u00a0 I’m only more proud of the novel-length series of stories I wrote earlier.\u00a0 I see that more of a personal accomplishment than as something incredibly sexy to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The comic is, on the other hand instantly gratifying.\u00a0 Especially page 12. :P<\/p>\n

I was hoping that there would be more fembot-themed comic art work finding its way into the ASFR community.\u00a0 I think there was talk about people pooling resources to commission a similar work, but as is so often the case, nothing materialized.<\/p>\n

2010 is a new year though, and I still hope that there will be more fembots, more circuitry, and more ASFR in comic form in this year and the years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
