So I'm making this mbti art project

[marceedoodles]

It's a small art project, I'm gonna be making 16 characters based on mbti types, and every single one of them are gonna be robots.
I haven't drawn them yet, but what would you guys suggest for the design?

Avoiding most of the anthropomorphic cliches would be a nice design principle.

Oh and welcome to the forum.

Are you asking about overall design or about what would fit for each of the 16 types?

Off the wall suggestion here: I would do it in a painting or drawing.

Overall design, because I don't want to make the robots too different from each other. If they do, then people might mistake them to be completely unrelated.

There's caricatures on 16personalities.com if you want an idea on where to start.

Have some sort of logical pattern.
Maybe have some certain aspect that has to do with each function.
Say Ti-doms would have some common trait.
Same for all the functions, you could draw in certain things based on what that type's dominant function is. And then the auxiliary functions as well so you can really differentiate the types.
Make it so that someone who really analyses that picture would be able to pick out the pattern.

(Just ideas)

I like that.

With that in mind if you want to do it really simple. Have like the head be the primary function the chest be the secondary and so on. Then make a robot for each of the functions then cut and paste.
