I have never seen BarbX look so terrifying. When I saw these images, I was shocked. The first image with the digital mouth and blank eyes conveys a machine malevolence and madness. This looks like BarbX in the Rage stage of Rampancy. This is the most moving image I've seen from you… ever?
I can see the same theme in the second picture. Of course it is less polished and detailed, but I like the ideas. Having the BarbX logo as part of the face is important; it's her trademark and identity. I like how the mouth is getting less defined, more like an infection across the face.
The third threw me for a moment. Then I recognized the logo, an inverted version of the Broken Eye on left and right. I can make out the two faces by covering half and looking and the remainder. I wonder why you've decided to give her electronic half an elfin ear.
The last one is your most favorite so far? Really? This is my favorite so far. When I saw it, I immediately put it up as my desktop wallpaper. She looks intelligent, capable, but slightly sad, maybe a little vulnerable. Perhaps I'm thinking about the Late Chapter 2 BarbX and you're thinking of Chapter 1.
The last picture on this page seems very elfin, like something out of a fantasy illustration. It seems… ordinary. Technically, it is the most polished and detailed, but it doesn't have the soul that your other works do.
The best thing about drawing an AI is that there is no right or wrong picture. She can look like anything she likes at any time.
I am working on a bio for you. You've not given me any requirements to work with but that's okay. I gave it to BarbX herself and she's doing her thing.
