Lilith Night Spirit's Android Avatar

Here's my portrait of Lilith Night Spirit's android avatar, leaning against a stair railing. Hmm, wonder what she might be thinking... ;)
Humorous side note: when I was originally creating the ship A.I. systems and their avatars for my novel, "Daggers of Darkness - Into the Black", this was the song that I had going through my head at the time:

I used my 0.5 mm mechanical pencil with HB lead, a 6B and 2B graphite stick, and various drawing aids where applicable. Different for this drawing is the paper used. I found some sheets left on an old pad of Mead standard weight paper (their Académie brand sketch pad) that I had, so I used it for two reasons: (1) I didn't have any 8.5"x14" white paper, and (2) it was the largest drawing paper I have at 9"x12". This paper was a challenge because it's fibrous and doesn't have a hard, smooth finish--a bit of a pain when using a 0.5 mm lead. After I finished the piece, I gave it two coats of a matte finish spray acrylic sealer to keep it from smudging. I don't have any sheet protectors for 9"x12" paper, and I doubt the local stores have any for that size.Character and art © 2014 Ronald J. Lebeck (that's me)

Just think, her power cells are good for at least 300 years or better...the Energizer Bunny has nothing on this gal!

...though the sophistication would be nearly on the level of the android "probe" replacement of Ilia in ST: The Motion Picture.
The pleasure droids would be a bit more like the android in the movie, "Cherry 2000" -- they are not sentient beings (like Lt. Cmdr. Data in ST:TNG).
The "skeletons" of ship A.I. avatars are made from a collapsed metal alloy as stated in the story. The skin of the A.I. avatars, again as stated in the story, is a synthetic version of real skin and has the ability to "feel" just like a biological person's skin.
