This is a fairly recent but also old character of ours; he is the bipedal "extension" to 8's shuttle, which refers to itself as "03" or "Three" and originated from the Architype project. In the story, his body was created with the assistance of TAU since the shuttle lacked necessary technology and knowledge to produce bionic/bionetic bodies on its own, as well as the capacity to host a huge printer. On another note, the shuttle is also bionic/bionetic and sentient, but it'll be explained that further in the Architype project lore.
The bipedal form allows Three to interact with the external environment and learn more efficiently than if he remained in Ar-T's shuttle bay at all times. He also wants to spend more time with his operator, as they have been working together since the beginning of the Architype project.

I've been working on this sculpture for the past 2-3 days and wanted to share a sneak peek with everyone. Other models are also being worked on, but I don't think they're ready for display yet. Everything else is available on our Patreon.
The sculpture looks clunky in some areas due to rushed/provisional rigging and zero weight painting corrections, so don't vomit over it in advance, I already had to. It'll be fixed once I get to retopologizing the entire thing as soon as my sona's model is finished (or at very least usable for animations). A lot of work has flowed into that one as of late too and I'll share one or two more WIPs before I'll create serious render artworks with it. I'm just a huge perfectionist with 3D models and I spend more time correcting ugly retopology and/or texturing than I should.
Rigging is my only enemy, because most of our characters require more functionalities for their anatomy than basic VRchat avatars. I also still need to look into shapekeys, I have no idea how they work yet. Finishing my sona should give me enough ability to experiment with those things.
