Pfft, I’m prob taking a full load of courses over the summer, too. Trying to (finally) get my degree in 2.5 years.

[bluebird]

*whistles* That is...intense ngl, and I can feel the secondhand burn-out, but work hard, play hard amirite? You can do it! Eyes on the prize (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

[Espy]

I mean I’ve already spent 4-sort-of-5 years trying, so.

[SparX]

We believe in you! you can do it!

[Espy]

Muhhhh. I certainly hope so.

[bluebird]

Well, some people quit and never finish. Ya gotta give yourself credit for not giving up! The fire is still in you. (ง ՞ٹ՞)ง *fans the Espy flame*

[Espy]

-hair catches fire-

....Hm.

[Espy]

TV Head again. I should update the first post, huh.

...He doesn’t actually have a name.

[bluebird]

who needs a name when one looks that bada$$ ✨👀💦

[Espy]

Honestly I was going for a more dynamic pose, but then my brain shat out :|

One of my friends accidentally called them (him? not sure yet) CRT head and that just might stick. CRT...

[bluebird]

it's a great start tho! i already got the feel u were going 4 sth dynamic with that karate stance. maybe add some smoke near his feet and specks of debris in the foreground if u want to work w/ what u have.
if u don't mind some erasing n redrawing, maybe u could foreshorten the leg holding most of his weight. i'd draw redlines but idk how u feel about that.

!!! i can totally vibe w/ CRT. it sounds cooler and befitting!

[Espy]

Yeah I'm having Serious Issues with that leg :|

I need to redo the sword; I drew it from memory and herp derp. (Also I was planning on doing something w Sharpie but uhhh i don't have the guts to do it yet help

Hm the USB might look better if there was just a massive beam coming out w lightning and shit around it

I like the smoke/dust idea a LOT, maybe like, shards of glass and stuff for debris

I don't actually have much in terms of his backstory but I can also see someone walking up to him and going "...okay whoever made you clearly had access to superior technology with that sort of chassis but like. they couldn't have done better than a CRT for your head?"

and CRT's just standing there buzzing awkwardly

...now that I think about it IDEK if he was made/programmed/how the fuck he happened.

[Espy]

Drew some stuff all over my... exam. Don’t ask.

(first page)

(why are my meds not kicking in yet)

(how do I make the USB sword less Trisphee?)

(question about statistics and failure rates of components)

(last page.)

[bluebird]

Time to awkwardly pose in front of a mirror & take weird selfies \o/

oh man traditional is not my forte. no ctrl+z = byE.
(maybe you can do the lineart in pencil, then digitally max the contrast to imagine what it'd look like in sharpie.)

ok u know the beginning of Edward Scissorhands where the doc passed away before he could make the hands? but instead of scissorhands, it's the head. Edward CRTHead. i know i'm v original.

[Espy]

The Sharpie thing wasn’t just about lineart; I wanted to do some shading shit and all hahaha.

and yeah I was walking to class yesterday and got ideas for the skeleton boxer sword cat, which... was not the character I wanted ideas for. Like there are so many things I haven’t even fleshed out for TV Head.

...How did he happen? PrOnOuNs?? ??? Was he programmed? Was he made? Does he experience human feelings? HOW DOES HE PUT A SHIRT ON? Does he talk? IDEK IF HE TALKS. Maybe he just puts words on his screen and adds exasperated buzzing noises. Maybe talking takes up a lot of energy. ...Energy? Is he an android? A cyborg? Does he corrode?

-BIG FRUSTRATED SHRUGGIG MOTIONS-
