Yippeee!! Look Who's Finally Done! :D

Yippeee!! Look who's finally done! :D

Despite the fact that she's caused me more trouble than I was anticipating (mostly because I needed to re-cut multiple pieces due to the initial proportions being completely and utterly wrong -_-) I'm quite happy with how she came out ^v^

In terms of plush features, you can remove her brain! I decided it would be fun if you could take her brain out because I just generally like the concept of plushies having pockets containing removable organs. I've also decided to put a rattle in the brain! Since I like when plushies rattle but I'd sometimes rather they be quiet, I figured it'd be convenient to make the portion with the rattle removable so that you could have a smaller object to fidget with and have a plushie that doesn't have to make noise all the time.

I think it's also worth mentioning that I put more beans in her hands and feet than I normally would, which is my attempt at giving a subtle nod to her unique seismic-stomp attack.

(Bonus infodump below cut for anyone wondering why I gave a robot a normal-looking brain)

So! For anyone unfamiliar with the Gobots, they aren't actually fully robotic like you may be expecting. In the lore of the show "Challenge Of The Gobots", they were originally organic beings who had to transfer their brains into robotic bodies due to a cataclysmic event as a result of the raging war threatening to wipe them out.

In the episode "Sentinel", we get to see an x-ray shot directly showing the fact that they have organic brains (Screenshots shown below, I apologise for the nightmare fuel)

As for why I decided to only apply the removable brain idea to Crasher... She just kinda seemed the most fitting. And also design wise, it's far easier to hide the zipper on her than it is on anyone else.

[Slight tangent, but Crasher having her brain fill up that much space in her head just can't be good for her. I understand that the artists doing these drawings probably didn't put too much thought into it, but she seems much more at risk of getting a concussion, especially with how many head-on collisions she gets into]

I think I forgot to share this, but I put together another Picmix thing a little while ago

I've been chipping away at this drawing for a while (by that I mean a little over a year) and I've recently managed to finish it!

It's a wonder I've gotten this drawing done at all, lol At least it hasn't gotten stuck in "WIP Purgatory" like so many others

Hello, I hope you're doing well! My name is Mahmoud Abu Swierh, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging. Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens. If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference. Thank you. https://gofund.me/bd3ccf0b

Hello there! I'm doing pretty well, and I hope you're doing as well as you can in your given circumstances right now.

While I'm not sure how much I'll be able to give you myself (with my parents being hyper-aware of online scammers taking advantage of the war) I sincerely hope that this post at least gets the attention of anyone able and willing to donate to you. I wish you luck, and I hope your education continues smoothly despite the state of the world.

[For anyone who wants to donate to others as well, I've found two lists compiling other verified donation links (here and here) on Mahmoud's posts]

Hey, dude! I’ve just redesigned Bluster and Robbie! I was wondering if you’d do some cool pose arts with them? And what do think about it?

Heyyyyy, sorry it took me so long to answer this ^^"

I will say that it's been a while since I've drawn these guys, so having a reason to draw them again was a welcome surprise

As for what I think about the designs: I think the're relatively simple as far as redesigns go, but the additions you made still work well for them.

Also, thanks for the ask! :D

Edit: I've just been informed that these designs in the ask do not belong to the asker, they were in fact stolen from the user @zip-toonz. Anyone caught stealing art or designs on this blog without properly crediting the original creator will be blocked.

I apologise for this oversight of mine, and I'd recommend checking out Zip's art if you have a spare moment

So I found this guy in a local shop the other day and decided to buy him on a whim

He's definitely a knockoff transformer of sorts. But despite the fact that he feels pretty cheap, he's pretty decent in terms of quality for what I paid ($10 for me, or roughly $6 in USD) The articulation is surprisingly diverse, the wheels have rubber tires, and the truck cab is even made of diecast metal!

Due to the lack of any proper name as far as I could tell, I've decided to nickname him Din :] (derived from "Hero dinba" written on the left side of the truck hood)

Bonus pics:

I've also decided to include some pictures of the packaging

By the looks of it, this guy's part of a combiner team (Presumably the "Rakers" if we're still counting the words on his paint job)
