Stobotnik Week Day #7 - Sleep/Napping

Stone hates people too

Beware the pipeline

The first and last ones are vaguely kinda sorta meant as a mirror of one another in a way; the aggressive predatory invasiveness of him on pre-canon/SM1 vs the rare show of vulnerability of Crab (tm)

I really enjoy their dynamic changing across the movies, the pipeline of "I won't miss you when you're gone" to "If I can't rule the world I might as well save it! For the one and only person who ever cared about me" is CRAZY work, 2 me

Anyways I'm rambling thanks for the love on these I just wanted to see them all in one post <3

ALSO

I have added these as a print on my shop here

I think this is the most beautiful portrait of stone ive ever made

so sad he had to be completely miserable here :(

i was filling a ship chart and there was this thingy "would die for the other ———— would kill for the other" if I didn't know id put robotnik in "would kill for the other" and stone in "would die for the other" because one is egotistical and other seems very selfless but i love that in canon its literally the opposite– (considering how stone acquired the mean bean)

Conditioning

Part 2 of the AU is here, and it’s origin story + regular story! DON’T WORRY, I’ve got some explanations for all these sad dog images I just made you all look at 🙏

Part 1 kinda LOL. Honestly this is actually part 1

It’s the origin of them meeting- which comes with a price.

K9 Stone was critically injured, and has been abandoned by his handler. Once the dust settles and he remains with no one coming back for him, he wonders if the love and loyalty he put in was ever reciprocated. Did the pain he went through over being a dog lead him anywhere but his grave?

Morbid, sad, ikik. BUT, Cat Robotnik is here, and I’ve got a much more silly and fun one up next that I’m already almost done with 💕💕💕

EXTRA EXTRA INFO, is that Stone is a Sable coat German Shepherd! These dogs are bred to WORK, and work they DO. Cat robotnik isn’t a real cat color, he just looks cute to me LMAO. Secret too- but he’s going bald later >:)

image courtesy of google this one isn’t mine 🙏 you can look them up too I mean

Military dogs, while cool to look at, inherently make me a little sad. Obviously a lot of them live full lives and are happy to work, and a lot of them don’t have bad handlers and owners- they’re still stuck in an expectation of violence and stress that can get them killed, and the tactics used for training many of them sometimes makes me upset. Not gonna just yap about stories I’ve heard though, my own GSD is just a pet I do my best to keep safe, and she hates cops LMAO. She’s a BEAST.

AND, Stone dog will be happy and healthy very soon, don’t worry 💕

Friendship

guy who cant stop picking off of his friends' plates vs food aggression incarnate

im just imagining the little stone and ivo some failed attempt at cloning them, esp with that art of them kissing

just, ivo and stone staring down at the desk in (confusion? shock? envy) as their little clones smooch, ivo’s just like “i did not program them to do that”

They're going rogue!

ko-fi

Stobotnik drawing each other!

as suggested by @temptear This was so fun even if Rob's drawing is a lot sweeter than maybe what you had in mind, sry
