Mr.(Ant) Tenna blueprints
Head was referenced from Magnavox 20" CRT TV
There's no button nor slit that can be used to open 2 main panels. They have to be unscrewed. CRTs don't have an easy way of accessing their inside, casing is secured with screws, so I did the same for Tenna just so he would have more old elements to him. Newer robots like Queen and cyber citizens are much more easier to perform checks on. (I'm unsure if you have to unscrew your PC, never done that, you don't do that with phones- regardless the new gen is much more sci-fi.)
He wears gloves almost all the time as not only do they protect his sensitive hands but also function as padding, making them much more softer and comfortable for him and others.
(I was debating for a long time if I should give him sekelton-like hands, only joints and wires, but I felt that it would be annoying to draw consistently in the long run.
He would opt for clothes from breathable fabrics, to allow his vents to work efficiently
Overall it's nothing revolutionary I know, but I wanted to firmly decide on how I'd like to draw this Boobtube to finally be able to draw him in other clothes than long-sleeved ones XP.)
Huge inspirations for this were 'Rock afire explosion service manual' that can be found on Internet archive and yt series about restoration of those animatronics.
Manual in particular gave me some ideas about how Tenna's maintenance would look which I might make a comic about in the future just so I would have a excuse to use the knowledge I gained
Antennas can retract and Tenna will do so often when going to sleep
He can insert DVD discs and cassettes into his chest or just "eat it" through his screen in order to play them
I watched so so many videos about CRTs, it's radicicolous u_u. Knowing that magnets can disturb the image of screens I'm not sure if built-in phone- a simplest one possible think nokia- is realistically a good idea, but I wanted him to have that detail and let's just say it's magic. Hell, this whole guy is made from magic so all of this isn't really necessary >XP
(a small fun note: Spamton would NOT survive the current from getting zapped by Tenna.........maybe....)
If you have any questions, opinions or corrections feel free to tell me! I'd love to talk more about this as I spent unreasonably long time doing this @_@
