I Don't Post Sketches Publically At All Usually But I Think That's One Funny Soo Also I Have No Idea

FUFF!!!!

They deserve to be separated, at least once-

Artificer and Pebbles

getting fixated on an object show character is so hard because it's like Okay. this character is a twist antagonist from the previous season of the show. on a surface level she is manipulative and selfish, but harbours a deep regret for her previous harmful actions that resulted in a close friendship of hers being sabotaged. she introduces herself to a new contestant, initially only helping her for her own gain, but quickly develops an emotional attachment to her as their friendship becomes less transactional and more real, but once again her own toxic behaviour sabotages the only connection she has. she's now drowning completely in her guilt and self-hatred, believing herself to be irredeemably evil.

and then someone says "oh this character is really interesting where's she from!" and you have to say Well actually. She's a

As someone with extreme Mental Health Fuckery, especially related to morals, and a sexual abuse victim: if you are saying "if you don't do XYZ related to social justice, you are going to become a sexual abuser", ESPECIALLY untagged, then I'm going to steal something out of your fucking house!!!!

PLEASE tell me your takes on the Photographer I adore them and desire the content. Thankyou.

Ah, alright! So, here:

My take on the Photographer.

I like to think that the animal bots in the area, kind of like with fishbot and lonely wizbot, are cyborg beings that were once flesh. In the wasted world (haha) of Botopia, there's no place for flesh and blood creatures. Very little safety or care is given to ensure they even have land. Much of the once wooded island is even just.. a muddy, rocky expanse.

So wouldn't the person documenting and actively collecting proof life existed want to preserve it?

I designed him based on that purpose! Those fins allow it to work almost like a sonar, sensing around the area. The horns are like the antennae on a radio, allowing the Photographer deposit photos into a drive within Botopia. Not to mention pincers along his body that work like spider mandibles, that can trap and contain prey, but seem almost incomplete.

This is because it ran out of parts eventually. That's a large reason why there's so, so little of anything left near the cabin. It used up its resources. So he could only use bits of his body to complete that work. Of course, the fellow sees no issue with that. It can still complete its work by having strung itself up inside of its darkroom alongside the vines and moss, sending out a small drone to do the work they had once done.

The Photographer could certainly make synthetic skin and allow itself to become a beast-like being.. but it values the purity of life. It trusts and loves so dearly in the flesh and blood beings it once only preserved in photos.
