This was just originally Sage not liking Bubble, then I decided to add in Caine. Then I realized he had to be reacting to someone, and who other than another artificial intelligence who likes adventures, BMO. After that I just started adding characters who have AI or are AI to the picture. Jenny, Penny, and Epelon we're easy choices to pick. GLADoS was added as a show off of my abilities as an artist (and yes, despite the subject matter, AI didn't draw any of this, it was all me Barry). I needed someone for GLADoS to be looking at, so I landed on Wall-E, as he is more of a timid one of these characters. EVE was joined in because it just felt wrong to draw Wall-E and not her. Teto was a last minute addition because I felt that there was just a little too much free space where she is. I guess in this drawing she is the Pomni stand in.
It was always going to be set in the digital circus though.
