#my animatronic character

[yoshi-likes-art]

Here’s the first progress update on the animatronic that I began building 2 yrs ago, and have since decided to take apart, redesign a bunch of things, and rebuild to be a sturdier figure. There’s still more to go, but it is close to being finished. There will be YouTube updates for those interested.

What I’ve done:

I have replaced parts like the shoulders and waist, that started out as thin bars, with thicker bars. I have redesigned and modeled a new right-arm mech. I have replaced some plastic parts with aluminum parts that I machined. I have changed the “neck” shaft to be 5/8” diameter, based off Dook’s. I have made the waist assembly sturdy with the use of a pillow-block bearing and shaft collars to hold it in place, as well as drilled a threaded hole into the upper-waist to place in a set screw.

What still needs to be done:

All part designs have been completed with dimensional drawings, but I am still in the process of actually machining some of them. I am currently machining the “body-lean cylinder mount” attached to the lower waist shaft (currently using the plastic model I made as a stand-in) out of an aluminum block. I am also machining all cylinder mounts that allow for head movement. I designed a new “head-turn mech” that you will see later; I thought CEI’s was not an efficient design, so I decided to experiment with a new design that requires less parts. I have designed a new “left-arm k-hinge” to fit a different sized cylinder; it doesn’t need to be metal, so I will probably just print it. Also, I just need to place bearings and bushings where they are needed, and eventually have all the proper hardware in place. Right now I am just using anything for the sake of showing progress.

After all mechanical work is done, I just need to build another valve-bank (I have the bank, I just need to put it together like I did with Dook’s), rehose the figure with both sizes of airlines that I went with, and test everything out. I will wire the valves up to a controller once I am satisfied with the build quality. I want this figure to be very reliable with no issues. And then who knows, maybe I’ll start building animatronics for other people. I’ve had people ask me to before, but I wanna make sure I can provide quality work first.

I just found out that today is FNAFs 9th anniversary!! So I dropped EVERYTHING and rushed to draw this ASAP and post it for the big day!

Five Nights at Freddy's has been a huge part of my life and my art journey. And I have to give it credit for my rise on Tumble too. Its hard to believe its been 9 whole years.. but what a crazy 9 years its been! Thank you Scott for making this awesome franchise. Here's to 9 more years of fun games and ever expanding and complicated lore!! XDD

He's a character now, whateves. Her name is Wish and I have a full drawing planned for later ✨

Uh, this might be my own personal desire for Audrey to be slightly less awful than canon (in part so she can’t be fully blamed for Chloe’s actions the way ML writers tried to), but was Audrey actually feeling bad for Zoe when she cried? I know it might be more of a general discomfort with vulnerability and sadness, but to me it felt like maybe Audrey does care that she made her kid so distressed, even as an akuma.

You are not hallucinating. She felt kinda bad that Zoe was crying. This is an SL exclusive.

I love that my first thought after designing him was "he'd probably look great covered in blood"

it's mendel!

save me monty FNAF. save me...

leaning all into the punk look with this. I also want to give every member of the band a totally epic Glam Rock look. GLAM ROCK like Placebo, Slade, Roxy music which no one has ever heard of but me apparently💔 BUT YOU GET IT!!!
