I tried my hand at making @eggbem 's Making Peace AU Mikey!
His character design is so pretty, you can feel his personality through his outfit. The splashes of paint, the faces on his pants, and his long hair! And his pretty yellow spots!!! Love them^^
Thank you Emily for letting me make him on my island!
It’s been like two weeks since I have fallen for the DCA and I have had a very fun time seeing fanart, watching animations and such so I also want to share my grain of sand with this mountain!
It is my thoughts and things I have noticed about their design!
None of these pictures are mine BUT I’ll add credits and the original post where they came from.
Also!! If I make some mistakes, such as grammar mistakes or fnaf knowledge mistakes; feel free to correct me!
I refer to the DCA as he/him. Hope that’s fine!
This was the first picture I studied when I decided I wanted to learn how to draw the DCA.
This picture was taken from DCA’s Model Maker on their ArtStation:

And this is the post: Click_Me! (Don’t forget to scroll down so you can see all the pictures!)
All the annotations are made by me on my tablet. Feel free to open the image on a new window to read everything or if you just don’t feel like it, I’ll just comment on what I think is more interesting:
He has 9 rays.
There’s a gradient on top of his hip. (kinda of an ecchi though but what if his whole pelvis area is the same brown color?)
All animatronics have 4 fingers but he HAS 5 (I think only Springtrap and its alternative versions have 5 fingers)
All animatronics have 2 joints on their fingers but DCA has 3. Possible to make more natural, human movements. (I have heard of this theory that he can use Sign Language to communicate with deaf children so that could be a reason).
The head order is as follows (side view): Face, Metal, Rays, Metal. (this knowledge is cool to know as an artist)
The arms have muscle shapes. He DOESN’T have stick arms.
The palms also have a muscle shape.
He has what seems like lids that can be opened. One on each of his arms and one on each of his forearms. (maybe for easy access for maintenance purposes?)
There’s one single yellow cable sticking out under each of his armpits.
Again, I’ll just write the most interesting parts (in my opinion).
There’s a Moon symbol on the left side at the back of his head. There’s also something underneath it but I can’t recognize what it is.
There seems to be another symbol/mark at the bottom of his head but I can’t see what it is clearly.
Again, the cute gradient. It seems he only has gradients on his hip and on his rays.
For some reason, the metal plaque at the back of his head has an irregular shape. What would look like a dodecagon (a 12-sided polygon), It only has 11 sides. Also, worth mentioning, the sides are not equal in length. So weird.
There’s an elevation around the hook. It’s not just the back and then the hole where the hook is.
This isn’t a proper picture for this but after watching the “flying” animation of Moon in the game, it seems the hook doesn’t lean forward or backward when his body moves. It stays fixed in a central position.
Close-up of the BOY.
He has dirt all over his face. (Probably nobody from the staff has bothered to clean him up in a long time).
ALSO. I have never seen anyone comment on this but he has what seems like a wooden pattern on his upper arm. (Maybe the casing of that color is actually made of wood and it has been varnished. That’s why it looks glossy. But that’s just a theory of mine. Who knows.)
Yo.
This is just another picture so you can better see the wooden pattern I was talking about. Feel free to save the image and change the Brightness and Saturation to see it more clearly.
There’s an inner circle in the center of his eyes. I still need to think about what it could mean but it’s still an interesting fact nonetheless.
More!
This is just a small design detail I have seen many artists skip: The INWARD view of his shoes has a moon design while the OUTWARD view has a star design. It’s not just moons!
There seem to be dirt on his feet and legs too despite them being almost covered by his clothing. Poor guy.
I think I have made the post long enough but I still have some more thoughts to share.
If you guys enjoyed this post, let me know and I’ll upload a Part 2!
I found this picture online of this woman hugging the statue of the tallest person recorded in history. And so it happens there's a giant ruler too. What was my first reaction at seeing that? "Let's see how big Sun is."
So, yeah. I read on Reddit that even thought there isn't any official height for him, it seems he is about 7 feet. So I put him next to this big ruler to see how big that is and oH BOY. As you can see, it's a lot.
Also, I traced the woman's head so we could check how small we would look next to him. My height is 5,4 feet so that's why the circle is up there.
Now I regret for making the canvas too small. Now we can't see how big his hands are. But it looks like he could crush our head like a grape (...hot)
There you have it! Big boy! Just for your eyes. Also, the picture of Sun was taken from a screenshot made by Sun's model maker from the game, tmyk.
