Here is Jenny Yermit’s delicious entry:
His brain is made of mashed potato!
Are you loving these challenges? I am! Jenny’s work totally makes my Monday- I adore her use of colour and shape… they look like drawings come to life! Perfect.

YERMITS VS. ROBOTS: BATTLE OF INCOMPREHENSIBILY CUTE THINGS, OR MAYBE THINGS DRESSED AS OTHER THINGS WE DIDN’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHAT TO CALL IT.
This is week four. The Theme: BATTLE READY.
I was a little worried when creating this that I might have gone too far. This robot is, after all, wearing the skin of its Yermit enemy into battle.* That’s… well, really taking this battle thing a bit far, yes? Robots. Their primary progamming is to be a jerk.
And, okay, I know. Ewoks as back-up? Ewoks are tiny. Tiny, and adorable. They are little, chirpy teddy bears. Probably, in imperial space, their pelts would be prized as moustache toupees for those with bald upper lips.
But damn! They can kick some stormtrooper butt. Using nothing but logs and vines. And okay. Stormtroopers are a special kind of stupid, let’s face it. But still. Ewoks. The are at the perfect level to hamstring their foes. Um. assuming that their foes are approximately stormtrooper height, of course.
And they’ve got the robot’s back. That’s gotta count for something.
*no Yermits were harmed in the making of this challenge.
Here is Jenny Yermit’sfantastic entry:
It is wearing robot guts. HILARIOUS. I love that we both went for the same concept. Also, clearly, we’re both deeply disturbed.
NEXT WEEK’S THEME: oh wait we haven’t decided yet. TO BE ANNOUNCED!

I think we all know the most important part of the dog walking ensemble is the poop bag. And probably more than one.

If I’d really been planning ahead, I would have saved this bot for the very end! Then I could be all like “it’s not over until the fat lady… oh. nevermind.”

I was all set to say that I’m a little afraid to mail this bot out because it might go missing in transit, but then I read the Amelia Earhart Wikipedia entry. And then I realized that she was actually totally kick-ass and amazing, and that a joke about her disappearance is actually kinda lame. And unfortunate. And probably not very funny.
Poop jokes are still fine though, right?

I was at a loss as to what to write about warthogs, so I asked my partner what to write. He summed it up nicely:
“Don’t mess with warthogs. They’ll fuck you up”
So. Warthogs. Don’t mess with them.

This was actually one of the first bots I planned on making, but then I realized that inside-out bots are hard. So I procrastinated. FOR OVER A YEAR.
Mostly, I think the transformation looks….. unpleasant.

Look, it’s a pug. They have head tilt action. They are always with the sad looks. But perhaps the best thing, is that people have been dressing them up in ridiculous outfits for centuries. No wait, the head tilt is the best thing.

Whoever came up with the hamster bubble is either a genius or really really mean. Or both. I imagine for the hamsters, there’s a sense of glorious freedom, followed swiftly by the realization that the freedom is a complete and utter illusion. Though, you know, change of scenery and all that. Or maybe it’s the hamster equivilent of a moon walk. The, uh, space kind, not the one white glove kind.
