Description edit: The shading was really bugging me, so I re-did it

So, I don't usually do stuff like this, but I'm a fan of `alexiuss ' work and thought... "Oh, what the heck!"

I had to put a lot of thought into this character and his design, as I was trying to avoid a few clichΓ©s; mostly medics and the mentally insane... Not that theres anything wrong with those types of characters! I just figured there would be a lot of them, so I wanted to avoid designing something like that....


So without further adieu, here is my entry for for his RA: character design contest! [link]

-----

Apparel: Large, yellow, puffy (marshmallow) jacket - construction worker pants (with a sh*t load of pockets) - backpack - boots - ski gloves - tool belt - white scarf - goggles - respirator - pipe wrench (weapon)

His real name is Carter, but don't call him that... Seriously. Don't.

Was a mechanic before the apocalypse, so he carries around a lot of tools--Screw drivers, screws/nails, pliers, a small hammer and his trusty pipe wrench.

A quiet guy who likes to keep to himself, Ratchet dosent say much unless spoken to. He zips his jacket all the way up when embarrassed or upset. He's a bit of a klutz and tends to trip over his untied shoelaces often.

-----
hope ya dig it~

Romantically apocalyptic belongs to

*unrelated note* Ratchet is actually one of the many nicknames that my friends at school call me ( I have no idea why they call me this though...)

Thank you!
I was working on the picture a couple days ago, and my mom walked in and saw me. She noticed the blood on the wrench and gave me an awful look. She hates it the things I draw, which is why I never show my art to my mom anymore LOL
but yeah thanks again

NO problem!
And yeah same with me except it's with my dad. (My mom cannot care less what I draw... I don't think she even knows that I draw. XD) I usually put up facebook or something when he walks into my room... so he thinks I just sit here and stay on facebook all day haha.
Anyway, I wish you luck on that contest!

haha thats exactly what I do! When im on DA I just flip the screen to youtube whenever she walks in (she dosent really know about my deviantart account, and im pretty sure she would be appalled by some of the things I put up on here... so I hide it from her) I always draw weird scary monsters, robots, apocalyptic stuff, and malevolent characters. My mom wishes I would just draw animals and flowers

but yeah, Thanks once again!

Once, I had a trollself (Homestuck) picture I drew as my facebook picture and my dad got a little alarmed and told me to change it to something more appropriate and "happy". XD There was also this other time where I had a really abstract black/white picture that my dad thought was too dark and made me change that too.
Well I think what you draw is really cool... sometimes I just wonder what goes on in non-artist heads. We have such a plethora of imagination waiting to be exposed. :'D
No problem... again. C:

haha yeah, I have a bunch of pictures of my character Dan on my I-touch, and one set as my screen saver. Whenever my friends (who aren't artists) look through my stuff they're always like "What is this supposed to be? I dont get it..." I have a hard time explaining it to them and get rather embarrassed about it when they ask haha XD
Oh the woes of being an artist~

Yeaaaaah it's kind of sad when I run out of things to talk about with my non-artist or non-OCT friends... and I don't have anyone in my "real life" group that is really interested in OCTs. I'm alone in this journey. XD Fandoms are easier to relate with though... but for some reason, I can never truly devote myself to one.

Does he have a nail-gun? That would be totally awesome!


But awesome character design. They'll need a mechanic for Zee Captein's army! XD

TacosaurusRex In reply to Forta-Verity-Amity [2012-02-12 01:43:34 +0000 UTC]

sadly, no nail gun... but his wrench gets the job done, so he's not complaining...

and thanks! I was a bit reluctant to make a mechanic character since they already have Engineer, but went with it anyways...

Forta-Verity-Amity In reply to TacosaurusRex [2012-02-13 00:32:58 +0000 UTC]

Wrench of doom?


Engie is the "high" end of engineering - I think he focuses on huge computer arrays and electronic/wireless systems and stuff.

Ratchet deals with normal machines and the like (and as such, is waaay more useful on a day-to-day scale!)
