> help me im being sucked into the robots again and this time its even goofierrr. im aware of the lack of zer0 and it is my mission to give him an entire page. or 2. or 5. my beloved.

[ID: Many marker doodles of the Steam Powered Giraffe robots. In image 1, Rabbit is saying "Spine" repeatedly to The Spine, while he stands silently. Jon is wearing a shirt saying "wise guy" and another shirt saying "i eat glue," smiling. Jon is standing on The Spine's shoulders. Rabbit is singing into her speakerphone "brass goggles." Half of Rabbit's face is drawn, cut off by The Spine and Jon. Upgrade is winking at the camera cutely, with an arrow pointing to her labelled "war criminal." Hatchworth is in the corner smiling. Image 2 is The Spine smiling awkwardly and creepily into the camera. Image 3 is a headshot of Rabbit, content. Image 4 is Rabbit and The Spine standing together labelled "sibbies." Rabbit is taller than him. Image 5 is of a very tiny The Spine, with one arm waving and another long and slinky-ish, he is saying "hi its me the spine from the robot band steam powered giraffe." End ID.]

Original Sketch

Couple of war robots because I'm working on a fanfic and wanted to draw them.

(I did try to stretch out the cross because of the rules surrounding it but looking at it more I don’t think it was as effective as I hoped it was)

I have to be sane and normal and ask a5 upgrade and a1 breaker

Man, I haven't drawn either of them in so long, but, I figured, since you asked for both of them,,,,,

It's still really weird seeing my own OCs names pop up in here, but drawing Breaker interacting with one of the Canon SPG bots was really fun, I've never done that before akfbskdj

hello hello here's another spg brainrot post <3

here's how I think the bots would react to u if u were overstimulated/overwhelmed

Rabbit: would immediately try distracting you with more chaos in an attempt to make you laugh. this has a 50% success rate and if she realizes it isn't working she'll just hug you silently till you stop crying, afterward offering things like snacks or sharing her own shortcomings. if necessary, the comfort movies will be used.

The Spine: notices your discomfort rather quickly and takes you away from the situation. he'll do the best he can to give you advice or try to help in some way (if you're crying/hyperventilating) and generally keep your surroundings quiet. he can be a little awkward with this as it isn't something he's typically used to, but helps u anyways because he's a cool robot :]. will try to take your mind off things with coversation of movies, music, dinosaurs, anything he can think of, listening intently to whatever you say. if you say you need anything (blankets, tissues, etc) he'll get it for you, but chances are if you know each other he'll already have those ready for you.

Hatchworth: wouldn't really pick up on your discomfort until you had to leave or you physically started crying/hyperventilating. means well though, and once he notices you're not doing alright he'll take you somewhere small to hide (a fort, under a table, behind a bookshelf) and ask you questions about why you're sad and why you do this. he has no malice behind his queries, he genuinely wants to understand how/why you do this and if he can help prevent it in the future. by the time you finish explaining things to him you'll likely to have calmed down, and then he'll offer a mystery sandwich. you must accept, even if you don't eat it.

Zer0: your mood is his mood. if he finds you upset or overwhelmed, he has a magic way of always understanding. he will provide you with hugs and silent comfort, possibly even crying a bit himself. a great bot to go to if you need physical comfort, or just to know someone else understands. will offer you his favorite dinosaur toys that he definitely didn't steal from Spine.

The Jon: taken aback at first by the sight of you, but will waste no time in bringing you either outside or to a pillow fort he made, staying close to you the entire time and keeping some sort of physical contact (i.e., hand on your arm, touching shoulders, just to remind you he's there and not going anywhere). will listen intently and happily talk to you for hours, not minding if you have a hard time responding (he'll wait patiently for you to respond). I mentioned that he does this in my headcanons list, but he'd definitely give you lil platonic kisses all over your face and hands. would also shower you with stuffies and things he finds around the area you two are in, trying to smile in hopes it will be infectious. if desired, he'll tell you whimsical stories and adventures of his time in Biscuit Town.

Upgrade: would offer if you wanted to rule alongside her (everyone knows she's a princess) in her kingdom, and would ramble on about your new royal duties and what her imaginary kingdom is like. she wouldn't really care if you listen or not, but you are expected to at least nod or acknowledge her. she'll let you have varying amounts of power over the kingdom depending on how sad you are.

> i was so bored last night, and i love these two so much. so i made a very messy painting of the best rival siblings ever.

[ID: A digital painting of The Jon and Upgrade from Steam Powered Giraffe, cut off at Jon's tucked shirt and Upgrade's skirt. They are sitting, Upgrade is higher than Jon, with one arm around his shoulders and one resting over his chest. She is talking with speech bubbles around her, looking off in the upper distance, while Jon looks at her and smiles. The background is a pale violet. End ID.]

Princess Upgrade of Kazooland

I'm going to try and make a portrait of each of the bots from Steam Powered Giraffe. Done so far is QWERTY, Beebop, The Spine and Upgrade!

Acrylic paint and ink on a 4x6 inch canvas board

Wip photos under the cut

The very first sketch and the sized up second sketch that I actually transferred to the canvas

Second sketch next after transferring it over (and kept on hand as a reference as paint got added and eventually covered the base sketch)

Putting down the initial colors, I think the boarder of the chair changed about 4 times

Starting to see some proper detail and filling in the under color of the dress, had to pause for a bit to make sure all of the layers got a change to dry fully before moving on

Closer to the final look, decided to try a different method for painting her pearls

Almost done, but the background is kinda boring so time to add some stripes and fleur de lis

Stripes done! ended up practicing the fleur de lis on the back a few times to make sure I could make them that small before committing to the idea
