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]

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

Oh hey, thanks for the tag! I'm quite flattered ^v^

Now let's see here, some things I like about myself....

My artistic abilities I guess it's a bit of a no-brainer considering my blog's main subject matter, lol. I think it's just pretty cool that I have the ability to think of a thing and make it tangibly exist, weather that be on paper or in cuddly 3D form.

My creative mind Yes I'm counting this as a separate point, mainly because I'm specifically referring to all the little stories and scenarios I create i my head with all the characters I hyperfixate on. Seriously, I've practically fleshed out an entire world in my brain and I'm highly considering rambling about it on my blog sometime.

My empathy (mostly) Despite the fact that I'm hyper-empathetic and my empathy often works to my detriment, I'm still glad that I have the ability to care for others. I know for a fact that there's at least one person in existence who's expressed directly to me that they feel like I care about them in a tangible way, and that feels quite rewarding in it's own right.

My singing voice While I wouldn't consider it a proper hobby of mine (I'd say it falls into more of a "vocal stim" category) I think my singing voice is quite pleasant.

My scars This may be a bit strange paired with the other things in this list, but I like the odd few scars on my skin. In this case, specifically the stretch marks across my hips. I just think they're pretty neat. Kinda like battle scars from merely existing.

Sorry this got a bit long and rambly, I hope you guys don't mind too much ^^"

Anyway, here are the people I've decided to tag! (But no pressure if you don't feel like responding!)

@luminesnake, @kingborb, @spooky-noodles-04 (I've noticed you popping up regularly, your presence is appreciated :D) @lemonmatronics (Sorry I haven't been interacting with your posts as much lately, but I still wanted to include you because you were one of my first moots!) @craftiestsloth, @wittymumbledon, @celestite-caroline (Cool people with cool art) @heartbroken-hitman, @redsea8me, @galaxyforu (Shout out to my fellow Gobots fans! (who also do cool art)) @motormusker (Writer extraordinaire, and my beloved partner <3)

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)!!

still can’t believe u follow me jeez ur art is cool…

Hmmmmmmm ok. I'll tag em. And thank u :3

I like my ability to win every single time in every single way because I'm spiteful. ❤️

I like my pookie @blitzedwing3576 (not about me, but still UwU)

I like the little beauty marks on my body. They look like inverted stars :)

I like my face because I'm an unsettling amount of perfect blend of features from my parents, like, upper face is dad, lower face is mom.

I like the fact that I'm a bit batshit. It spices my head up UwU

And anyone else!

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)

I've been neglecting to share these for a while now, but I have some pictures from a semi-recent daytrip of Fitor while we were on a gondola

Also, a few bonuses:

I took some pictures of the big machinery at the bottom of the gondola line because I found it incredibly fascinating

I made a model sheet of myself! What do ya think?

I think it's looking pretty good! It's especially useful to see a character at multiple angles when you're assembling a reference sheet, and you've done quite well with that.

One thing I will add is that it'd be a good idea to draw an angle where we can see your character's back, as well as some colour swatches on the side to make colour selection easier when doing digital art of your character.

(Also since you've got a pretty symmetrical design, you could cut out one of the side and 1/4 turn profiles to save some space on the page, along with a note stating that your character looks the same from both sides)

In any case, keep up the good work! I wish you luck on your future artistic endeavours ^v^
