thank you! when designing k0tya i initially wanted her face screen to be able to project only unicode characters, but that made drawing her expressing emotions in a way i want them to be interpreted quite difficult, so i had to go easy on myself and let her emote more. but i kept the idea of square eyes just because it preserves that robot-y look, at least a little. i suppose if i kept the limited range of emotions i could have explored the idea of k0tya struggling to express herself and be understood correctly by her social circle, and while i do find the concept of it very interesting, it was a little too much to think about for a character that i originally drew just to satisfy my newfound robot kink, haha. anyway, while we're on this topic, you might enjoy these older doodles of k0tya's big ole eyes from my sfw tumblr
