Description

Do not use, copy, or repost without my express permission. I’ve had too many run-ins with people doing it in the past.

Okay, there's a good chance this will not hold out but I am going to try and have this guy be my last new stitchpunk. At least for a while. Knowing my habits, though, it won't be too long before another one jumps up out of nowhere.

This is Felix. And he's my first stitchpunk since 86 to have a head that's not made of cloth like a normal stitchpunk. He started as a random doodle in my notes, and at first I thought about just drawing him and leaving him as a parody character, never to be seen again - like the one I drew a while back covered in optics. But apparently that plan fell through because now he has a name and has appeared multiple times in notebook doodles. Those two sketches in the corner are two examples that I could not duplicate but wanted to include, so I just got rid of the lines and threw them in that empty space.

He also wound up having a color scheme very similar to Elrik, and I had to go with a more orange-y shade of red to keep them from looking too similar. I also wanted to incorporate blue metal of some sort into his hands but it clashed with his body's colors, so I went with a grey with a very slight blue tint, instead of a gunmetal blue like I originally intended.


Name - Felix
Gender - male
Voice - Billy Crystal [ Mike Wazowski - Monsters Inc. ]
Description -
Felix is a little self-conscious about his appearance, though he tries to be proud of how odd he looks. His real feelings about his looks shine through when others react negatively to his appearance and instead of brushing it off, he acts defensive and almost takes it as a personal insult. Appearance aside, he's a bit full of himself and a little whiny, but he's also very loyal to those he calls his friends. He just doesn't like directly admitting to it. To those he calls his friends he acts like that sibling that complains about the things you do and constantly makes sarcastic remarks, but does whatever he's asked to do without fail.

In addition to overreacting to negative reactions to his appearance, Felix also overreacts to positive things that are directed at him. Little compliments make him act bashful, and the bigger the compliment or other positive action the bigger his reaction - up to the point of him bouncing around out of joy and cheering, and humming happily as he goes about doing relatively normal things.

He's able to speak because while he doesn't have a mouth, he does have a voice box in his chest that simply acts as a speaker rather than having anything to do with mouth movement to form words [like my other character Toby].


Felix is mine,
9 and stitchpunks are Shane Acker's.

and now this, THIS, IT'S JUST....

I don't know how you think of it, I really, really don't. I also think that you are the only person that could make a stitchpunk with a hand for a head look completely cool and not silly

I'm just as clueless as to how I think of them. They just. Show up uninvited. It's really annoying. I try ignoring them [i.e., not drawing them and pretending like I never drew them in the first place] but eventually I draw them again and then it's all over. I've been trying to ignore Elrik since September, under the pretense that I already have too many damn OCs running around and I didn't need any more. And as you can see by the reference of him I recently put up I finally caved and started acknowledging his presence. Same story with Blair but I only ignored him for.. a few weeks at most. I don't have an exact date scribbled next to my first doodle of him like I did with Elrik but it's in my current school notebook so I can guess that at most he's been around for a little over a month.

Acro, you're lucky. I only have one OC and she sucks like chicken.

Y'know, for such a silly character concept, I think this guy turned out pretty awesome. I was really struck by the image in the bottom right of him crying. Just the image of the fist curled over his face is very powerful, it really adds an element of poignancy to his sadness.

Also I'm kind of loving all the clever comments for this. Gotta give people a hand for their creativity.

I saw it in thumbnail view in the Stitchpunks group first. My first thought was "ACROWHATDIDYOUDO?"
Then I opened it and saw that it was, in fact, from you. XD He's adorable. I like the little scribbles that show him using the fingers on his head. That's actually rather lovely that they function. Also I think it's cute that he can technically cover his face with the fingers on his head.

GOD DAMMIT ACRO YOU DID IT AGAIN
Haha i really like this character, although im kind of curious to know why would his creator would use a hand as his face?
like i always say, i adore your texture technique!

Acrosanti In reply to AnxiousMonster [2012-02-29 22:32:31 +0000 UTC]

I think you can ask the "why" question about all of my characters' designs. Mmaybe his creator was a weird artsy type..? Or they were high when they designed him..? Or a combination of both..? I really don't know. I don't ever think about the "why" much until after they've been designed. Derp.
