And as for what I liked, I guess the appeal of a robotic character is what got me!! Robot characters and the Mario series both have a really special place in my heart so it was cool seeing Roshi ^^
Awww heck yeah!!! Robots are one of my most cherished passions >W< And the Mario series was my primary games growing up, I absolutely ADORE Yoshi!! So combining the two to form Roshi (Robot + Yoshi = Roshi!) was bound to happen eventually! I'm very happy he looks unique enough, I'm super satisfied with his design :D
With how much robot characters mean to you, do you have any robot characters of your own? Maybe you could also make a robotic version of your favorite Mario series species :D
Same here!! Robotics, mechanics, and engineering has always been so interesting to me, it’s so fun to learn about!! And as for Mario, I grew up with it too, starting in the Wii era (New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Kart Wii, and Super Mario Galaxy were my first!) and I still play it to this day!
And I have a few robot characters!! I was potentially thinking of making a robot Koopa or Birdo!!
YESSSS I'm so glad I met someone that also enjoys the same interests!! Robots and animatronics are just amazing due to how so many individual objects like motors, gears, wires, and circuits come together to work to form a "living" being! :D My Mario childhood went to the older times, my first games were SM64 and Smash Bros for the N64, which got me very familiar with the Mario series (Plus I loved playing Yoshi on Smash Bros!) It helps that all of the games are so replayable due to being so much fun :3
Ooooooh!!! A robotic Koopa or Birdo sounds like an incredible idea, and I bet you could totally make a wonderful design out of it :D If you do happen to design them, would you perhaps take a commission to draw them and Roshi interacting? I think that would be super fun ^w^
Me too!! I’ve been interested in that sorta thing for the longest time and I’m super happy I met another person who was interested too!! And I love learning about the history behind certain animatronic characters as well, for example Crusty the Cat from the Pizza Time Theater restaurants!
The N64 games are admittedly really fun from what I’ve played!! I’ve played mostly more modern titles spanning from Wii to Switch but I hope I can get my hands on some of the older ones :D
And thank you!! I’m especially leaning towards making a robot Birdo, possibly naming it Birdroid (Birdo + android) or Birdomaton (Birdo + automaton) sorta like how you named Roshi by mixing the words “robot” and “Yoshi” together! I could definitely see if I can do a commission of them together when I do the design!
Heck yeah, a new animatronic buddy!! It'll be so much fun discussing all sorts of bots :D I love the history behind the animatronics as well, how they're made and function and what sort of stuff they can do! ^w^
They arrreee, one of the golden eras of Nintendo for sure! I personally emulate a lot of the N64 games since buying the physical cartridges costs an arm and a leg nowadays XD
OOOO BIRDROID MY BELOVED!!! Oh my gosh that is going to be SO cute, Roshi and Birdroid hanging out together!! Machines gotta stay together >W< Ooooh I can't wait to see what design you make for Birdroid!! Do you have a price sheet for commissions so I can put aside some cash once the design is finished? :D
AFTERGUTZ
Of course!! :D
