Fun fact originally Sprocket was going to have a head and torso with 360 range of motion but I scrapped that idea because it was a pain to draw and didn't really make sense with all his external wiring. On the plus side it means sometimes he needs help with maintenance now.

Thoughts on robots and people and how maybe the little rituals we do to show we care don't have to actually mean anything, brought to you by Sprocket and Alonze.

Worldbuilding notes: Under normal conditions, you wouldn't be able to see the stars from the surface of Deslotair. However, this takes place during drop season, when the skies are cleared of storms. Since Deslotair is a planet that's somewhat behind developmentally and lacks a lot of big cities, it's fairly free of light pollution. Scavengers traveling the deserts have an especially nice view. The planet is also in a fairly... cluttered(?) solar system, so there's a lot of comets passing by and bits of space debris burning up in the atmosphere. Most of this is natural rock and mineral, although some is space trash from neighboring planets. But hey, that's a bonus if you're scavenging, right??

WIP of a Deslotair comic I'm working on!

Incredibly dumb doodles on what would happen if Sprocket and Alonze met @glacierruler's oc, Fig

Whereas Sprocket and Alonze live in a world where bots are fully realized beings that have to fight to be recognized in society,,, Fig's world is still cruising with boston dynamics style military drones. Shenanigans ensue.

"Leaving Deslocar? What, the whole fucking planet? Ha, yeah, as if. Listen, this place'll chew ya up and spit ya out, sure, but I wouldn't leave if you were givin' out first class tickets to the stars."

Alonze (he/she/they), a former bandit, now fresh out of jail, with nowhere else to go.

Info:

Was the last to join the scavenging group, and acts as hired guns basically, protecting the group from rivals and bandits

Desmona (one of the younger members of the crew) didn't like her at first because she can be kind of... a lot

And since Desmona didn't like him, Glass didn't either

Also by the time Alonze joins, he's the only one that doesn't know sign and therefore can't communicate with Glass, which doesn't help their relationship

Eventually they both warm up to her

Used to know Sprocket, which is how they nail the bodyguard job so easily

The two of them used to be part of a crew of bandits a while back, but after Sprocket- well after Alonze got arrested, it was a while before they saw each other again

She used to have two of those old colt-inspired pistols, but Sprocket was only able to hang onto one for her

Shoot first, ask questions later kinda gal

They're very quick to anger, and very impulsive

This makes him good at thinking on his feet, and good in high-pressure situations, but not very good at making a plan and carrying it through

This drives Sprocket insane

An excellent shot, cares very deeply for their weapons

Cares deeply for a lot of things, really

He's very passionate, and opinionated, has a stance on anything and everything and will die on any hill

Apathy???? never heard of her
