Why doesn't Mechi wear shoes, anyway?

That is an excellent question that I don't have a very good answer to, I'm afraid.

We could say that lore-wise, he either really likes the way hot desert sand and rock feel on his bare feet (can relate. burn feels comfy), or he's decided that since Yamka (his sister) can't experience the touch of grass and sand and soil on her feet anymore, he'll enjoy it as much as he can in her stead.

the real reason is... shoe hard to draw :(

#asks #gracie plays #A Mechanitor's Message #also I pretty much got Mechi's design set in my head the first time I drew him #and he didn't have shoes then so he doesn't have them now #originally Vasso didn't wear shoes either #I dunno I just always have an easier time drawing bare feet than I do shoes #they're just fucked-up hands basically #easy enough once you've got the hang of it #I like the idea that Mechi goes barefut to honour his sister buuuut that seems a teensy bit too much like “empathy” for him #so it's probably the “mmmm sand feel good” reason #I also have no idea what kind of shoes Mechi would wear #definitely open for suggestions on that one #thanks for the ask!!#Have a fabulous day <3 <3
