Head Sketches
First step to deciding the look of my character was the head. For this, I've used a wide range of subjects such as "Extra-Terrestrial", "Bug" , "Detailed", and "Human".
Body and Mech Sketches
Various sketches of the different type of mech bodies and arms of the android based off the previous themes.
My main goal was to give this character a highly advanced technological look, but also make it have key human anatomical features. 
The "Human Anatomical" and "Hybrid" were the finalists, and later chose to go with the first choice; the "Human Anatomical"
 
 
Line Art
Front and Rear views of the ATF-5270 character in line art.
Grayscale Compositions
Various choices of how I wanted to distribute the light and dark values around my character.
I wanted the outer most plates to be the most visible and brightest, while the values get darker as it goes farther interior.
#2 was my main choice.
Color Compositions
Even though each of the 6 compositions are based off one main color, I've decided to mix 2 of the 6 colors to create more flexability and creativitiy. 
My first choice was to go with blue as the main (#2) and the olive grean plates (#5) but later felt that it didnt make the character very "metallic" enough. Eventually felt that mixing the bronze color (#6) along with the olive green plates (#5) best fit the needs
