Lily's Girl Robot

I have been working on 2 different creatures right now. One is a crazy difficult challenge that I've been working on for months and months (possibly a year!) and I just can't seem to get him finished. He is in the final stages though. He just needs a little more hair, some blue highlights, a hat (challenge all on it's own... You'll understand when I finally finish him and post pics) and clothes. I know that sounds like a lot, but the main design parts are complete and that is the time consuming parts.
The other one is for an early June birthday gift so it needs to take priority. I'm excited about it too because it is a second order from the girl who did the bug monster last year. It is a girlfriend! Sweet huh? Everyone needs a partner, even a monster right?
Finally, getting to the details of the pic posted here. In the beginning stages of the girl bug monster, my daughter climbed up on the cutting table with a drawing of a girl robot. I couldn't resist. It being all one color and a super simple face, I was able to knock it out quickly and I'm just a sucker for a sweet "please mommy".
