Shout out to the drafts I've never posted,, because I forget once I stop looking at them,,, this has probably been collecting dust for a year almost,,,, But anywhooooo, 173!! I love this guy, and doing a redesign for him was something I've wanted to do for forever, but I wasn't sure how to go about it because I adore the original design (shout out to Izumi Kato's work <3), and it was hard to imagine 173 any other way...
But after some brainstorming, I ended up with this?? New and improved 173, now with more breakage, distinct fingers, and more legs(???) I know he's not anywhere as scary as the original, but that wasn't really my goal; this is more of a personal redesign for fun/that appeals to me <3 I can't help it, he's so silly and goofy, and he looks like a peanut,, how could I make him anything but cutesy? I used colors from Krylon's catalogue since that's the brand of paint mentioned in his story, I gave him some visible rebar since that's also mentioned in the text, and made his eyes stoplight colored! Cause he's got a sorta redlight-greenlight thing going on already (How clever and original of me-)
