Oh bro, you have no idea how much I love drawing this man.
I donāt know if Iāve mentioned this before, but Tinman and Fyter are, so to speak, my first attempts at creatingā¦ automatons, robotic beings, living suits of armor? I think you know what I mean. I love stepping out of my comfort zone and practicing a lot with these figures
Anyway, I swear, as far as his design goesā¦ Itās funny. Obviously, I had to base him on Nick, and then bring him to life. I had a rough idea of the oven design like Nickās, but I was determined to have him wear a soldierās uniform no matter what.
I found that thing at a hardware store months ago and saidā¦ Yeah.
Sooo, a little Pinterest here, a little of a nutcracker and toy soldiers there, listening to āImitadoraā by Romeo Santos to draw with passion, and for the swordā¦
āPut him an arm-sword.ā
ā1. Maybe a nod to that missing meat arm mentioned in the book.
2. Like a toy soldier, whose limbs are so close togetherāor whose fingers are so close togetherāthat they seem fused to his body.
"Ok, youāve convinced me."
And, finally, this is how it turned out.
Well, I'll probably make an animation for Julyāthat's for sureābut don't worry about the other three options in the poll; there will likely only be one post, since those weren't the ones that got the most votes. So, that wraps up the top 3 :>
