thank you! Fortunately the colors came out without much thought but the pose was actually suggested to me by the robot character's owner, off of a drawing someone else did! (https://twitter.com/hgnbn13/status/1304176342678859776/photo/1) I did not totally copy the pose but I was unlikely to have gone with something like that on my own, especially for a subject with as many doohickly details as this one has.
