Description There was a discovery not so long ago. A kid, after a small rain heads a ways into the forest nearby the city. Much to his surprise, there sat a robot sitting in a bed of flowers. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere. With curiosity when this kid poked him, he sprung to life. And the black len's lit up white. Standing and brushing off some vines that had clung to his shoulder. This robot spoke, curious on the kid's name.
Later on after helping pry open an overturned car in the city with his phenomenal strength. He has gladly taken on the task of being a rescue robot. So he mostly roams town, running into the kid every so often, and helping the city. That is, until two watching takes notice of this sudden robots appearance..

His personality is a curious one. As hes limited in what he can do he finds delicate items,such as flowers his favorite.
Hes oblivious to affection, very clueless. If front snout was kissed he would ask what it was for: that or in return pat you on the head like a dog thinking hes returning the gesture. Despite not understanding romance he still appreciates compliments and finds it adorable. As a robot who values accompany ship he can be naive and easily believe someone's word, even if its not one listen to. And as bulky as he is, dexterity with as large hands he has can be its own task to overcome.


Some little bits of his assembly!

*Soft cloth lines his collarbone and neckline on his outer shell.
*The pads that line his hands have a rubber car tire consistency. They can be removed! And replaced if they wear down or swapped for ones of color.
*His arm covers on his outer machinery and ears are a less coarse then the hand grips, but the same rubber material.
*His legs and normal posture from viewing the sides look like this! (old picture but thats still relevant)
Ā 

His size is about 6 feet without his horns attached and 6 feet, 8 inches with them attached.
Shows most emotion though ear movments and speech.

AYYYYY I'm glad we think the same way!! I absolutely LOVE internal robot structures, it's so friggin cool to see how a robot functions! How a bunch of wires, gears, circuits, servos, and metal can all work together to imitate a lifeform!

You definitely do an amazing job at it!! I hope you end up making more robots in the future! <3 If you're looking for neat robot designs, check out my favorites folder! It's flooded with fantastic robots I found during my time on dA, along with my own robot OCs! ^w^

And you're absolutely welcome for the watch! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see more of your amazing art

Ahh goodness sorry! I really didn't mean to miss replying with work I just got distracted from here.

But yeAAH absolutely! Like I really plan to make a lot more robot designs when I can get to it! I did make a robot cat a bit ago based off a space station's tv! And this one here NewCanvas1 that I like the design a lot for but I just never finalized it. It was just me messing with shapes before I ended up making ram. So the inside part is just kinda random wires haha. I still might change up their inside if I can get to it.

Aiee again thanks haha. >w>

Dawwww no worries!! Everyone's busy somehow >W< I don't mind!

That's incredibly exciting that you're planning more robot designs!! With the design you have now, I know you'll make even BETTER ones!
That one you showed me from stash looks so cool!! Even if it's random wires it still has an awesome futuristic design ^^ It really says something when even doodles look good! XD

Can't wait to see what you'll make in the future!!

ah goodness I hope so. xD I need to really map out some more colors to stuff. Thats a big thing iv been struggling with as of recently. If I can just get some vibrant colors id love to make like even batches of robots as I got the ideas for them

Oooooh!!! You could always try some color generators to see if some combinations inspire you! Sometimes that helps me with inspiration
