The
Idea:
Designing Andriods is both a challenge as
also fun. For not only does one have to
make them believable, but also impart a
personality to them which is unique to each
Android. The idea to do this robot came
to me fro RK Laxman's "Common Man".
I wanted to create a Robot who could be
placed in various predicaments and him acting
as a mute witness to the unfoldin events. |

Inspiration:

"Do Androids dream of electric sheep?",

The
Story:
Do androids dream about Electric sheep
and brag about the one that got away? a.k.a.
Lessons in Fishing: To catch a fish, give
it what it wants, not what you think it
wants!
The Droid, out the catch the Big one,
is under the impression that fishes, like
him, are metallic beings which will fall
for any nut hung before them. So while he
(am not sure if droids will be differentiated
on the basis of sex, but have decided to
let 'him' be a male indulging in an essentially
male activity) sits patiently dreaming about
the huge one he's going to catch, the fishes
themselves blow air bubbles of "?"
marks, wondering why anyone would want to
hang a shiny nut on a line? |

Rod and vest which I downloaded . Final
touches in Photoshop. |
