Sable, the Automech Antelope.
Find Me On:
FurAffinity ◈ Weasyl
I guess I forgot I had done a very similar portrait of Sable a year ago until after I finished this one, but I'm not exactly satisfied with some aspects of that one in hindsight.
The "one exposed machine eye" is more of a visual choice I make to show that a character is a cyborg or fully machine than anything truly "canon"--despite her limbs typically being left uncovered by artificial fur (leaving her mechanical arms and legs fully visible unless she covers them with clothing), she usually has both replica eyes in place at all times. I also used to do this fairly often with my art of Penny Possum, whether in her animatronic or cyborg form.

I remember hearing somewhere that because of the way a pool table is set up, if enough force is applied to any ball on it, eventually, that ball will go into a pocket. Robots and cyborgs would have an unfair advantage with the ability to calculate where the balls will go with much more precision than most purely biological players.
Blunt force application of probability, just hit ball REALLY hard. A strategy some of my own characters would probably utilize, although depending on the rules of the game, sometimes you can't just rely on brute force and "eventually it'll work" to win.
I imagine she would be good at calculating trajectories and such, though. I'm not really sure of any sport or game (aside from something like chess, or maybe games of pure chance where the ability to calculate odds and numbers is a bit less of a deciding factor) that it's a good idea to let cyborgs and robots play alongside animal beings.
I suppose that means that separate leagues for machines could be a thing, though, and might actually be fairly entertaining--or just wind up being tech demos.

Any game or sport where calculations about trajectory and velocity come into play, really.
I feel like she'd be barred from most sports, though, not only because of her computer brain and the fact that she doesn't get tired unless her batteries are drained, which gives her an incredible advantage in most forms of sport, but also for the safety of other players--I imagine getting tackled by a cyborg hurts a lot more than getting tackled by another meatbag, not to mention what might happen in a game of soccer if someone accidentally gets between her foot and the ball!

Very glad you like her! I can't really say she's any sort of "fursona" though, just one of the many characters I've created over the years.
I did try to design myself a cyborg/android 'sona once but never did anything with him after the initial attempt, but I might have to go back to him sometime.
I'd love to be a robot in real life, my current form leaves much to be desired.
