Is cis a sexuality?

It's not, I must have been distracted when I typed that. Fixed.

Her leg design is so cool.

Thank you! More than any other part of her, I wanted her legs to immediately out her as "cyborg."

It couldn't say it louder without installing speakers~<3

Ooh, now there's an idea...

...ND LIVES - ATTENTION PREY - THESE THIGHS HAVE BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY ENGINEERED TO END LIVES - ATTENTION PREY - THESE TH....

I love her she's very neat!💜

Thank you! I'm glad you like her!

That is a blast from the past. I'll have to look for that story again.

I know it's in the gallery somewhere!

Oh, I remember her! I always loved her unique design and story. It's neat to see how some of her insides work. will there ever be a pic that shows all of her synthetic digestive system and robo anatomy?

I am not great at anatomy diagrams, and would probably be even worse at robo-anatomy diagrams! I do want to do an internal belly shot at some point, though, and maybe a little bit more discussion on what her insides are like.

must get loud and bumpy in there after a big meal

I think there's probably some padding between the belly area and the gyroscopic rooms that keeps it from getting too bumpy. It might help with sound, too, but you're right that it probably does get loud.

the fact that the throat is transparent and the prey passes through a well-lit room and could make eye contact with a mouse, is just so twisted, I love it.

I know, that's one of my favorite aspects of all this! The idea of a prey getting pushed through that tube in the sifting chamber, seeing a mouse, possibly begging for help, and the mouse just pulls a lever and drops them into the gut.

Ha! I actually was hoping for her to get a reference, she's one of my old favorites of yours. Love the redesign! I like how parts of her are much more obviously mechanical now, with a separation between her organic and cybernetic parts. And even as a cyborg, she's still a cutie~

Thanks! To be honest there was always supposed to be that kind of separation, but I didn't have the skill before to really portray what I was thinking.

Glad you think she's cute! I'm sure she appreciates it, too. ^^

YAY! Hope's back!

I never want to lose Hope!

Neat! :D

Thank you!

Robotic and cybernectic preds usually are not my thing, inorganic and mechanical bellies and stuff make me uncomfortable: But this is such a fascinating idea! Well done!

It's honestly not something I'm usually super into, either! This was an idea of how it could appeal to me personally.

Ah, okay. The idea of a symbiotic colony within a pred is a very fascinating concept, indeed!

Thanks! Though like, "colony" in this case is just four people.

Wow, inventive concept! I've always liked the rarely-seen idea of someone being inhabited by smaller folk, and just about everything else about her are things I've never seen done before. Hope to see more of her... gotta go find her old story, now that you've mentioned it.

Thank you! I definitely think the idea of an inhabited person has some potential. I've got at least one or two other pictures planned, and now that she's on my mind again maybe I can explore her a bit more.

I won't make you search, though! The old story is called Biofuel, and you can find it right here!

What's the biggest she can eat?

It's not huge, at least as far as vore goes. Maybe about half her size, or a little smaller than that? I'm planning on posting a demonstration pic soon. ^^

so how does that cyborg stomach of hers work where that cat is getting squeezed into

Quite a bit like a real belly! Her stomach is a "biofuel converter" that turns organic material into fuel to power her.

so its secretes stomach acid and churns around the prey

I'm not sure if what it uses is "stomach acid" per se, but yes, fluids and churning are both probably involved.

that cat is in for a rough time then

It's a bunny! (Her ears are just pushed back in the tube.) And yes, she is!

Really cool character concept.

Thank you!

Man, I imagine it would feel weird being able to feel a family of mice running around inside you all the time. Gives me the willies!

It was really weird for her at first, but she eventually got used to it. Now she tunes it out and barely notices anymore.

When Hope goes for a jog does it sound like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U20BRIGpJig

... it does now

I like this redisign

Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with it myself.

I really like her character. She quite unique and innovative while avoiding the easy to fall into trap of just being different for the sake of different.

Thanks! I want her to seem different while still seeming like a person. She's someone who had something traumatic happen to her but has learned to embrace her life and its changes.

epic work

Thank you!

Is she in a relationship with one of her own residents? (I'm talking about the mice)

She is not in a relationship with any of the mice! Or at least not a romantic relationship, if that's what you mean. She is close to Jordan, the youngest daughter of the family, but Hope is quite a bit older than her and sees her more like a younger sister.

So if someone were to treat Jordan like ****, then Hope would react like a sibling/guardian?

Yes, Hope would absolutely be very protective if anyone were to mistreat Jordan.

I would love to see that.

Honestly it's not a bad story idea

So, the rooms are stabilized, but the passageways aren't (I mean, they really can't be when you think about it). That implies that when Hope seriously exerts herself (say, chasing prey), the mice have to pause what they're doing — after all, the roof could suddenly become the floor, or the passages might be blocked completely. Sleeping might be interesting as well.

Your assumptions are correct! The mice have difficulty doing some things while Hope is moving around a lot. There are a few things mitigating this, though:

1) The rooms can be "locked" into place (by pulling a lever near the doors), turning the stabilization off and keeping the passageways lined up. In fact, as a safety procedure, they never pass from a room into a passageway or vice-versa without doing this -- you don't want someone being cut in half by a passageway suddenly moving!

2) Hope can actually feel the mice scurrying around inside her, and has a general knowledge of where they are. While the mice insist that she should not worry about this and go about her life like normal, she probably takes some amount of care to not dislodge or jostle them if she can help it.

3) The mice are all naturally very good at climbing, and the passageways/rooms are built around this. The passageways are less "hallways" and more "narrow tunnels with ladders and access panels," and the mice are all good enough at climbing that they could take a sudden 180 degree turn mid-passage without too much trouble. The rooms are similarly designed, mostly pretty cramped with lots of hand- and foot-holds and everything possible secured in place, so it isn't a big deal if everything suddenly gets turned upside down.

In addition, the mice probably work "night shifts" sometimes, doing maintenance jobs while Hope is asleep, both because she's moving around less and it won't disrupt her day.
