An illustrated poster to celebrate 100 episodes of Findings from one of my favorite video creators. In a way, this is also a love letter to internet horror stories, keeping me entertained since forever :-)

i should expect it but realizing that i can say things about jimmy and then get misunderstood bc i didnt spell out all of my feelings and create fun boundaries in my little play place of a post and ppl are just assuming were talking about the same thing bc its adjacent to the fandom joke. silly me tbh

I started making this Tuesday and finished today

I’m not entirely sure what my intention originally was, I think I might have been attempting to draw various Ratchets. Or just g1 Ratchet, but then I realized I made him too small to just post him alone

I got myself some references for g1, I think his IDW self (they were on the same page), Cyberverse, Animated and Prime. So I might have been trying to draw all of them, but I’m not sure

But yeah, I drew g1 Ratchet, and then I decided to draw Cyberverse him, because he had a neat design

For my first attempt at the style, I don’t think it turned out horrible? Not the best though, and I especially need to work on the arm joints

Also none of them have hands because I was too lazy to give them any. So just ignore the lack of hands

Anyways, so after that (but also on Tuesday, I just finished the lineart and colors today) I think I was trying to combine features to get a Ratchet design I’d like to draw. It was mostly these two for inspiration, but there was also a bit of the IDW design I took as well. But also it’s mostly in the head, I didn’t care much about the rest of it

I don’t think I intended to use the CV eye lines, but I wanted something and just ended up doing that. Might change them later. I also gave him the big eyebrows because I thought it suited him. Grumpy old man

I gave him the antenna because I thought he’d have one. Like he needs to keep the radio on in case anyone needs his assistance (and he’s surrounded by idiots)

I gave him circles and the simple chevron because it’s just easier for me to draw and I’m lazy

I gave him the sirens from CV because I liked them. I also gave him the thing in the back because it looks like a backpack and I like that on him, I like to read it as a pack with his medical stuff, even if it probably isn’t

But on to colors, I do wish I could have more red, but admittedly there isn’t much else to put it in the little I drew. So fair enough

But also, I didn’t want to give him the red chevron. That’s like, the common chevron color, and I like how he didn’t follow that in his g1 design, being grey instead. But the grey isn’t in much else of his colors, and the red would be more consistent. And also, I like the white with red accents, it fits him as the medic. So I don’t really know how to get rid of the problem here. I guess the best solution is to change other chevrons?

I’m also debating changing his eye color from blue. I consider it with most of the Autobots (and I would the Decepticons, but I haven’t really drawn them), since they almost all have blue eyes, and I want variety. I think Ratchet can still have blue eyes, since it kind of fits, at least with the blue half of the sirens. If I were to get rid of that, maybe his eye color could change, but I’m not entirely sure what to. I know I tried yellow and red, but maybe I need to expand

But yeah, I don’t know. I finished this, wanted to share it. I really do need to get better at figuring out vehicle modes/the rest of the body. Probably need better references than the g1 cartoon

Oh wow, I found a fantastic obsolete kana the other day! I guessed several different things I thought it might be but kept coming up wrong! Have a think about what it is (maybe have a little look through my obsolete kana tag if you like), and then click through to find out if you were right!

Because character input doesn't support the kana, the restaurant lists itself as お多幸, read Otakō. That's right, this is an obsolete た! That really surprised me......

I suppose I can feel the similarities in stroke order/writing motion, but still, wow! I really need to learn more kuzushiji. (I got an app, but I keep not doing it.) Anyway!

多 means many, much, or frequent. It's read おお.い, まさ.に, まさ.る, or タ. It happens to be the source of katakana タ, whereas hiragana た comes from 太.　

幸 is new to this blog! It means happiness, blessing, or fortune. It can be read さいわ.い, さち, しあわ.せ, or コウ.

Finally, if you take the honorific お off お多幸, you do get a surname: Takō! Which belongs to about 10 people nationwide, making it Japan's 90,180th most common surname.
