HI Im curious ab how Able and the rest of the cast of his universe look? for fanart purposes (I can't promise any will be good enough to post but egighjehfj I love ur lads) (also ps Cain and Able's names concern me, it's not foreshadowing right)
(Tumblr just ate my long draft for this, so let’s try this again...)
!!! Tysm for your interest in my writing! It’s been fun to write on its own, but knowing someone else is reading it makes my day 💜
Okay, long post for art references concerning these whumpable dorks - I forgot my stylus and art files when I left for vacation so take my hasty smencil drawn figures for what you will.
Able - star of the show. No his name is not misspelled. Was definitely influenced by Tron to even start a robowhump series, so credit where credit is due, Able’s design was largely influenced by good ole Rinzler and the other repurposed programs. Definitely reccomend Tron Uprising for any program related whumpy goodness.
Cain is our reliable, somewhat reluctant caretaker. He looks like a Hank to me. Idk why I didn’t name him Hank. I’m bad at naming characters and three prompts in I realized the main characters were named Cain and Able. I swear there’s no foreshadowing or deeper plot meaning beyond “Blue doesn’t know how to name characters until she’s written a lot about them”
Echo! My darling. My kickass child. The only fully competent badass on the Reserve. They’re always down to fight and trying to make their papa proud.
Oz - father, nerd, the kind of guy I could beat up for lunch money. An approachable twink in need of a bath and a home cooked meal.
Dolls look human and are as variable, save for the barcodes on their necks. Jesse’s a down to earth kind of droid who would wear a cowboy hat if I could draw one. Jenny’s have a base model but colors, sizes, and voice are fully customizable.
Rex. Bastard king of bullying poor Able. Old school tech vet who’s short and buff as hell. Tbh idrc if he’s just terrified of the Reserve being endangered, dude is an ass and needs a good ass kicking before I’ll let him be even slightly sympathetic.
Zee and Elthree! The lovely medic/mechanic couple of the Reserve. El’s design was really influenced by the sci-fi short film “Dr. Easy” which I strongly reccomend (tw for blood, moderate mouth gore, and emergency circumstances).
And here’s a miscellaneous collection of other faces from the series so far! Asymmetry of tattoos/hairstyles is standard to keep facial recognition tech from pickin up on gangs and rebels.
