This is an item I designed and painted as an item to raise money for charity, and also to get back into my role as an artist (having not produced anything significant in a long time).
The "AnDREWid" is a figure based around a blank Android vinyl figure, and is essentially a "chibi-style" self-portrait of myself. I first used the chibi-style design back in 2002, and have adapted it to match the anatomy of the Android figure.
It was hand-painted using acrylic lacquer paint, with the detailing done in black marker. Probably the most interesting part of the design is the hair, which was flocked to give it a realistic and contrasting texture.
I will admit: there's no elaborate back story to why I've used an Android figure or this particular style, but it's completely open for interpretation. What's most important is the end result: raising money for Kidscape, which is an anti-bullying charity.
