Remedy.
Cross-posting...woo!
Several things inspired this. The most important is 'Remedy' by Little Boots, considering it's the one being performed. After several characters being created and tweaked I managed to squeeze it down to one performing the song through her dress. My Dad had once told me how he'd seen Kraftwerk perform using synthesized suits, which I guess comes as the second bout of inspiration. I couldn't get the image out of my head, and with no luck on finding any kind of image or video of them wearing these suits I shot off on my own. A short hop onto Google led me to this video of some Space Age fashions from the 60s (yup, the zipped knitted catsuit!), which then led me to more music videos - 'Freeek!' by George Michael and 'Born This Way' by Lady Gaga.
I wanted the mechanics of the actual dress to be much like a LaunchPad. All information would be sent to The Heart which also acts as a central speaker. (Yes, I've just altered this...you'll see it when I manage to scan it...oooooh!). The earpieces have microphones which follow some kind of cheek or jaw line, these are again connected to The Heart. The information from this central speaker is shared to the other speakers on her arms and legs and back to the earpieces.
Also, the neck detail is supposed to be some kind of LED equaliser. And she's on wheels because she can be.
I'm horribly proud of this design. So much so that I needed to call Iyad to blabber on about mechanics and whatnot...he seems to think it's possible to make this. Watch this space...

Extraterrestrial
Inspired by Noisia's remix of E.T by Katy Perry. I'd planned her to essentially be a half human, half mechanical 'cd player' (a must have accessory for only the highest gentleman's spacecraft). Various model sizes and appearances would be available (this is, after all, the base model) with interchangable voice cards and lungs so that the model would be capable of singing any song.
...and yes, the skin would only remain on the arms, neck and arms. The rest is just spine and ribs. I'm sure a few male models would sell too.

Fox.
A rather unloved design inspired by Steeleye Span's 'The Fox' and AUCB's production of 'Coyote Was Going There'.

Brenda.
A silly persona I made up at work...a statement which therefore has trapped me in the thought of 'bugger, it's practically a fursona then'. I'm not the most sociable person, but I do try.
I can't draw dogs, a Collie is better than a Chihuahua, and I don't understand giving human names to animals...or animal names to humans.
Boobs.
