Description Description of Doom:

Yes, I know. The most random characters from totally different companies meet up with each other in my comic.

I know exactly how Petey feels right now. Not many of people know about Otto that much, so some can't help but get to know him better and ask him questions. But, most of the time, those poor kids who try to get to know Otto better, usually come out of that situation brutally wounded.

I had a question exactly like Petey's that has been lingering in my head for SO long.
If you don't get what I mean, then I'll be happy to explain it to you. Octavius, which is Otto's last name, is a Greek name for "eight", and also, Julius Caesar's adopted son's name is Caius Octavius, so that might be evidence that Otto is Greek.

But I heard that Octavius is a Spanish name, too, but I don't know if that's true.

I remember watching the 1990's Spiderman TV series, and I heard Otto speak with a German accent, which made me wonder what race Otto really was in.

Oh, and if you didn't notice, I tried out my new coloring style again. I just love to experiment.

This might happen in my comic, but I'm not really certain. Don't worry if Otto looks kind of pissed in here. He always has that look on in my comic.

HOORAY FOR BUBBLY BACKGROUNDS! Oh, and critique is always welcome.

Tools Used:

My brain for the entire pic.
Photoshop CS2 using the paintbrush tool and the gradient tool for the colors and the inks of the pic.

Proud Of:

How well the colors came out. They look so realistic in an abstract way, if you know what I'm talkin' about.

Bummed Out Of:

Nothing, for once.

Additional Notes:

Otto does wear a scarf in my comic. I really needed to show that green is his favorite color.

Here's an idea for you......What if Otto is an unknown race?XD Oh,I'm SO going to get my butt kicked for saying that.XD

Personally I like the movie one.(I'm used to him,I don't like the other types of Otto.XD)

I personally loved his movie self, too. He seemed much more human, but it is nice to see him completely cruel and sadistic. It shows how dangerous scientists can be. xDD

That is a good question! I think he's german personally. I mean Otto is a very german name. Plus the Spiderman animated series from the 90s gave him a german accent. But in the comic they really didn't give any indication that he was german. ...you know-....I'm really not sure anymore XD This picture makes me want to resurrect my old Doc Ock fansite. Much love to the tentacled terror!

I'm not really sure either. But I think that it should be left a mystery. It makes it more fun and interesting that way.

YES! Love's on for the tentacled terror!

You know, he could just be an American mutt; according to Marvel, he was born in Schnectady, New York. B)

OctoHaz In reply to BechnoKid [2006-11-23 00:11:26 +0000 UTC]

No problem. I know that the question of Otto's heritage has flummoxed many a fan, and the fact that he did have a German accent in the 90s cartoon (wtf was THAT about) is confusing. Also, he had a definite ENGLISH accent in the 60s cartoon!

Me, I stick with the American thing. Because it takes real talent to be a sinister villain from a town named "Schnectady". BD

BechnoKid In reply to OctoHaz [2006-11-23 00:39:54 +0000 UTC]

I didn't understand why he spoke with a German accent in the 90s cartoon either.

That's a good point. I don't think I could ever be a villain from a town with a name like that. xD

Maybe he is Greek. Scientists and Greeks kinda make sense.
Then again Germans... or Russian! Cause they do science stuffs... Blargh I think it's undecided since Stan seems to not care what nationality he is in the cartoon and movie.

lol, I keep visualizing the real Petey in that tiny polka-dotted speedo (or whatever). It disturbs me so much.

I don't think Stan cares about his nationality either. But it was a funny thing that I had to point out. xD

I can't stop visualizing Petey in a polka-dotted speedo either. I can't get it out of my head.

Gah! I love the way you drew Ock here! *.* Especially his hair. His hair looks great here. And the coloring is beautiful, love the new style. The green scarf is a nice touch.

That's an interesting question. o.O I'm definitely going to research that and see what I can find... >.>

Thank you very much! I'm very glad that you like the way of how I draw Otto. You really like his hair? I thought that I went a little overboard with it.

I don't really know if he really likes scarves, but what the heck, I don't care. He looks cute in them.

I'm also glad that you like the new style, I might use it more often.

Really? I think this is the best hair you've done for him. It just... fits him so well. I don't think it's too much.

Yes, that's all that matters.

W00t! I'm glad.

That's what I hate about so many features. But the good thing is that it keeps people thinking for a long time and they can never go racist on you.

I love the coloring. x)
I just did a research for the name Octavius. xD
Octavius means "Eight" in latin (some people say it could be Greek too), it has 8 (OMG xD) variant forms: Octave, Octavio, Octavian, Octovien, Octavious, Octavo, Octavus and Ottavio.
We say Octavio in spanish. :3
And Otto means "wealthy" in German.

So yeah. We could say Otto is Gereektin. D:

BechnoKid In reply to Pumpkin-Girl [2006-11-21 18:08:02 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like the coloring, man.

You actually did research?! My goodness, you rock so much. x)
My god, Octavius has 8 variant forms. Now that cracks me up so much.

Gereektin. That should totally be a separate race.

Thank you so much for doing all that research. Where in the world did you get it?
