-OUR FOUNDER-

⚙ THE CHAIRMAN ⚙ OF COGS INCORPORATED EST. 2003 ---------------------------------

So I've never talked about this on here before, but Toontown was one of my absolute FAVORITE games as a kid (despite never having membership so being locked out of 99% of the actual game jlkjfsakj) Like it was absolutely formative for me, I drew the cogs a bajillion times and they inspired a ton of my own stuff later on (and still absolutely do) Then the game closed and Rewritten came out so I could actually play the whole game for the first time (haven't gotten anywhere close to getting to the end though) To this day I have an on again off again interest where once or twice a year I'll suddenly get absolutely smitten with it again haha

So, if you're also into Toontown, you'll obviously be familiar with the mysterious, unseen overarching villain The Chairman This is my own take on his design that I came up with a few years back ^^

We don't have much to go off of from the original game for what the Chairman might've been like, so I had a couple of different inspirations

Obviously the giant head in the Sellbot Factory, since those old Chairman pics with that head pasted onto a cog body were absolutely what I was most exposed to as a kid, but it's also not a 1:1 lift

In some of my earliest sketches trying to come up with the ideal design I tried making him look like he had the giant robot from the old installer video underneath his suit, so he had like lanky, cartoonish proportions, toonier hands, etc It looked really bad though and I couldn't do what I wanted with the head since it would've had to fit over the shorter, wider robot head, so I just ended up scrapping it (i do take some inspiration from the video for my vision of Toontown's story, but i've just scrapped the robot entirely) Oh I also gave him the eyes from the Field Office since I thought that could be neat, but it looked out of place so I simplified them to what he has now (they're still stylistically similar to the eyes on regular cog buildings, so i don't think i'm really losing any of the meaning behind them at least)

By far the biggest inspiration was when the FY11 plans got released

Holy FUDGE did this blow my mind when I saw it for the first time All those years as a kid of the Chairman not even being ACKNOWLEDGED except by the CEO's final words and a couple odd references in obscure magazines and whatever Desperately speculating and grasping onto all those tiny pieces of some mysterious, horrifically evil entity behind everything And then this??? This awesome, ominous silhouette?? Plans for something huge??? Seeing it is what drove me to go and draw him in the first place, it still gives me chills just looking at it

So yeah, I wanted mine to have that same aura of cold evil, that striking silhouette, while also having a bit more character to him Like most cogs are frozen in the same screwed up scowl, where there's not much room for expression If I could, like, make an actual model for him, I'd want him to have the same sort of capacity for different expressions as the toons have (even some you wouldn't expect from the head of the cogs)

He's ruthless, calculating, doing everything he can to maximize the profits and efficiency of Cogs Inc and expand their operations to the entirety of Toontown, with no regard for ethical business practices or the wishes of the people he plans to subjugate (But does it work? Is he happy?)

I'm absolutely gonna do an analysis of the cogs as a whole at some point (as long as my interest doesn't plummet for a little while longer), there's a ton of stuff I wanna get into about my interpretation of them as villains because oh my god I love them so much

OTHER STUFF - He's not as massive as the other boss cogs, but he's still absolutely huge (iirc the highest level cogs are all canonically like 8ft?? and he's got a LOT of height on them) - He's drinking oil in the pencil drawing - I happened to watch this video where one guy talked about the way the villain in Tarzan held a glass of wine and how it left a huge impression on him, so I just arbitrarily decided to emulate it in my drawing XD - Oh yeah a big reason for the main drawing in the post was that I really felt like I was getting too attached to a single style in my digital stuff (literally just using the same default pen tool for everything, never changing the size), so I wanted to force myself to try something new - I drew the frame myself, just kinda winged it so it's. not as good as it could be but it works fine I think

//Corporate clash spoilers for the newest blog post

WE COULD HAD OVER CLOCK DUCK SHUFFLER AND PRETHINKEE???

AND THE STREETS MANAGERS TAKING OVER BUILDINGS??

WOULD BE THAT SIMILAR TO THE SELLBOTS FIELD OFFICES?? FROM TTR??

I was wondering what the Sellbot Field Office (and The Boiler) reminded me of and it was Kirby (the Vacuum) from The Brave Little Toaster Series.

Cogs Inc.'s very own departmental SSIA team! Because if your staff routinely gets obliterated by toons you might need some doctors on hand! Who gave these fuckers a medical license? Who knows!

(Golden Hello is from @xxnu11-sku11xx )

Sometimes morale in the sellbot department can get pretty low. The stress of sales and potentially having toons smash your face in does not make a good work environment.That's where Golden Hello the therapist comes in! This mellow fellow is an easy cog to talk to and get along with! In fact, he's never met someone he doesn't fully get along with(save for one, but let's not talk about him). He's had a few questions about his last name, to which he always replies "I'm not here to talk about me or my life, I'm here to listen to yours. Is there anything about yours you'd like me to know about?"

Ms. Peri Low, also known as the Operator, has been there, seen that, and is all around a jaded sort. She seems... content with her current position but will begin bitching the second she gets a smoke break. At least she gets to work on trains as well as her coworkers, she fucking LOVES trains. She doesn't like working on cogs who've been hit by trains though, especially if its her boss.

Mr Parris Hale, or the Office Peacock, is equal parts show off and gentleman. They're the nicest of the doctors and pride themself on it. He makes sure all his patientsare comfortablein his presence while working on them, but his toon policy is confusing. While he will deal with any toon who enters his office, he'll also turn a blind eye and play along with their little game while they run errands for him for some reason.

Mx Hex Karousell, or the Manufactory, is the maddest of all the doctors there. They find sameness boring and want to spice things up a little! Why must a micromanager be so small, what if a big cheese was any other food, could a cog still function with removable skin? The CEO has them constantly busy with modification requests for underperforming employees, so there's never a dull moment for them!

Mr Sydney Low, known as the Administrator, is rather anxious for her position, and isn't even located at her department's HQ - she's got her office in the surveillance tower... at least on the surface. He's seems terrified of letting others see that special personal project he's working on at Boardbot HQ. Some believe it's more jacked up than Hex's experiments, others think it's a way to level the playing field between toon's invincibility and cog's easily destroyed nature. Given who Sydney is, it's probably both.
