Description ~EDIT~
Here is the finished product--->

----------------------------------------------

I was bored in class today and I sketched this out because not only did I want to experiment with drawing Cobalt (not sure if I succeeded or failed ), but I also just wanted to try and draw something funny happening to Astro (here, I think I did pretty good :3).

Although I can't help but wonder if this QUITE fits Cobalt's personality. According to what I've read, he's clumsy, friendly, a little bit of an idiot, and basically the Astro Boy version of Goofy (or something like that). And I consider this something that a character with that kind of description would do. Jump on their little siblings and ask for a piggy-back ride. XD

BTW I know that Astro definitely has enough strength to hold Cobalt. He's just hunched over and out of balance because Cobalt just jumped on him or something and startled him.

The reason why I ask if I should digitize it is because part of me says no, and part says yes. I mean, something about this just seems... Off. It's probably something to do with Cobalt, but I can't quite place my finger on it.

Reasons why I think I should:
1. I LOVE HOW ASTRO'S FACE TURNED OUT! XD
2. I think the overall idea is pretty funny. :3
3. TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER. Everything looks better with color. XD

Reasons why I think I shouldn't:
1. Something is just off. I don't know what it is, but something makes me not like this a ton.
2. Cobalt may be a bit too big? IDK I think I kinda took liberties with the concept of Astro's "older" brother. I prefer to base my Astro pics off of thirteen-year-old Astro, and I'm not too sure how much older Cobalt is supposed to appear. Here, I was going for about sixteen or seventeen maybe. I really don't know. :/ Although I'll go ahead and say here that I know that Astro looks kinda small, but I say it's because he's hunched over.
3. Another Cobalt issue. I'm just kinda worried that he might look TOO old. IDK

So please leave your thoughts on whether this should be digitized or not. Thank you!

P.S. I just felt like saying that I really like how I changed the little designs on Cobalt's boots so that he's not exactly a taller, goofier Astro. The hair adds to that too. :3

Hmm. Cobalt does lok a bit off.

Possible solutions:
-Cobalt is lanky and, frankly, not as "cute" as Astro in the eyes. So could be scrawnier, I think. (with smaller forearms, although I know that's, like, blasphemy to the Tezuka emulation.)
-His left arm goes on Astro's other side.
-perhaps Cobalt's gotta look more like a doofus.(I dunno. I just like to throw ideas.)

But I LOVE Astro's face, too!
And his pose, and both their boots!

I really had no references when I drew this. I drew it at school, and even when I went home, and tried to look up stuff on Google, I still found nothing to look at. TT_TT So this was all essentially from description.

-YES. TOTAL BLASPHEMY. XD

-I did that on purpose. Like he just jumped on Astro and is flailing his arms about to recover his balance.

- I kinda felt like the actions enough made him look like a doofus... Sorta. X3

YES! I LOVE ASTRO'S FACE! XD And I like adding little details and stuff to make their boots less plain. And thanks for the suggestions!

I think I will. It's gotten enough support.

Yes, I LOVE Astro's face! XD

Eh, Cobalt looks alright to me. Something about him just seems off somehow. :/

I normally don't pencil-shade my pictures, but I was bored in class and I really wanted to just keep working on it (partly so I wouldn't forget XD).

You should see my spoofs. They're not funny unless I use audio that's funny. If I try a broken record or something, it sucks. TT_TT

I mean, some people have said they really like my spoofs, but that's probably because there's hardly any Astro Boy spoofs on YouTube. My series of Astro Boy Spoof-Taculars, and someone else's Astro Boy Insane episodes. :/ Astro needs more love.

D8 I can't live without YouTube! That's one of the two sites I (unhealthily ) spend like, almost all of my free time on, the other being DA of course. Although I'm spending more and more time on astroboy-online. :/
