Here's a little character profile I made for my headcanon Buzzy.

#craniumcommand #headcanon #fanart
A character profile for my headcanon Buzzy, featuring a render of him happily walking towards the viewer. My headcanon Buzzy marching happily. He has a more muscular build, reddish brown hair, light peach skin with brown freckles on his cheeks and light blue eyes. He wears a light green flat cap, greenish grey headset, large round glasses, a reddish-brown aviator jacket with cream white wool on the collar, light green shirt and pants, and dark grey boots. The art style is 2D and mostly line-less style, only using lineart where it’s needed, such as areas with shadows. Additionally, there's subtle gradients and rim lighting to further enhance the art style. As for the text in the image, it reads: Name: Buzzy Age: 26 Height: 3ft 1 Gender: Male (He/Him) Occupation: Brain Pilot Interests: Biology, zoology, farming, electronic music, astronomy Buzzy is very enthusiastic and at times a bit clumsy. Though often dismissed as weak and incompetent, he is always determined to prove himself, even if it means taking on a challenging task, such as piloting an unstable brain. When off-duty, he usually hangs out with his best friend, Cortex.

"Wait a minute, A101? Isn't this Yester Noon?" Yes, but because in this case it's a non-sentient bot, I went with the model instead of a name. It should also be noted that this is just a regular animatronic that would be bolted to a stage, with limited movements.

#animatronic #characterdesign
One of many Yester Noon animatronics, this one being part of the A101 model of bots. These are relatively simple figures that are typically just mounted to a stage. This Yester is holding a triangle shaped wooden bass guitar, which is standard for the bots that were made to be part of a band. Yester Noon is a short chubby farmer with black hair, warm beige skin, a large light brown cowboy hat, red sweater, yellow bandanna, dark blue overalls and very small light brown boots. In terms of proportions, he has a large head with big cheeks, large eyes with tiny black pupils, small button nose and an overbite. He also has a large round body, medium length arms and very tiny legs. Canonically, he is 3ft tall, but the sizes for the animatronics vary.

Here's a pose sheet for Vinyl. They may be a robot, but I want them to be very expressive, especially since they are so energetic and full of joy.

#characterdesign #scifi #posesheet
A pose sheet of one of my robot OCs, Vinyl. In the middle of the image, there's a fully rendered drawing of them greeting the viewer. The rest of the poses are only lineart. The list of poses includes: 1) Hopping excitedly 2) Lying on the ground daydreaming 3) Standing still looking a bit shocked 4) Being scared Vinyl is a humanoid robot with long flowing brown hair, a silver visor with a wine-red screen displaying two oval shaped red eyes and cylindrical ears that have a ring of light indicating their current mood, a peach latex mask that allows for facial expressions and black gloves with silver plates on the back of the hands. They wear a long sleeve turtleneck sweater that’s black with a white stripe in the middle and blue at the bottom, light blue cuffed jeans and shiny black boots.

Today's piece is dedicated to a very special bottlenose dolphin, who sadly passed away 4 years ago today, Winter. Even after so many years, I still miss her a lot.

#dolphin #illustration
A digital illustration of Winter, a rescued bottlenose dolphin, who lost her tail fluke when she was just a calf. Apart from missing her flukes, she was easily recognizable by her deformed spine, caused by the fact that she had to adapt to a different swimming pattern. From her dorsal fin to her tail, she had a distinctive S shaped curve.

Here’s the most recent piece featuring my headcanon Buzzy and Captain Cortex. I have both updated the art style a bit, as well as updated Cortex’s design. I’m trying to go for more of the type of character that Jason Marsden would voice.

#craniumcommand #fanart #headcanon
Buzzy and Captain Cortex standing together. Both are leaning towards each other, with Buzzy having his arm crossed while Cortex has his right arm on his shoulder. Both are smiling at the viewer, with Buzzy having his mouth open and Cortex grinning. These are specifically my headcanon designs, so Buzzy has short reddish brown hair, light peach skin with freckles on his cheeks, blue eyes and a muscular build, while Cortex has black hair, light pinkish skin, brown eyes and a more bottom heavy build. Just like the previous drawings, Buzzy’s wearing his green square cap, grey headset, large round glasses, brown aviator jacket, green shirt and pants, and dark grey boots. Cortex is also in uniform, but he prefers a different one, a blue cap, red orange jumpsuit, and white gloves. The only thing that remains consistent are the boots and headset, though the latter is a slightly different design, being silver and dark grey. They’re both also very short with Buzzy being 3ft 1 and Cortex being 3ft 10. Though they have never interacted officially, being just different versions of the same concept, I tend to interpret them not just as separate characters, but as best friends, with a brother-like bond. Cortex being like an older brother and Buzzy a younger brother. Their personalities contrast in the fact that Buzzy is more clumsy and inexperienced, while Cortex is more confident and experienced, but even with their differences, they remain extremely close. The art style is mostly line less, only using lines where needed to enhance details like the mouth or wrinkles. There’s also subtle gradients to give it some shading, as well as a rim light on certain areas like the headsets and hats.

Here’s that exciting thing I was alluding to, a series of stickers featuring six different Buzzy/Captain Cortex designs. Available now on my Redbubble and TeePublic:

www.redbubble.com/people/artof...
www.teepublic.com/user/soul-s-...

#craniumcommand #fanart
An image featuring all six of the stickers I have made, each a different iteration of Buzzy/Captain Cortex. While all of them are meant to be diminutive in stature, they all differ in terms of their appearance. There’s, of course, Buzzy who wears a more military cadet style green uniform with an oversized brown aviator jacket, green hat, black headset and big round glasses. Unlike most of the other designs, he has tiny black dots for eyes. The second design is a Captain Cortex design by Sue Nichols. He looks very similar to Buzzy in terms of his facial features, but wearing a red orange pilot jumpsuit, white gloves, a blue hat, and a similar headset, though without an antenna. To be clear, the original image does not have actual colors just lineart. I just added the same colors as the audio animatronic based on the Colossal Pictures version. Speaking of which the third one is what the Colossal Pictures version of Cortex looked like. Again, he has a red orange jumpsuit, white gloves, a blue hat and a headset with one antenna in each ear and a mic on the left ear. His face is different with a more bottom heavy structure and more Hannah Barbera style eyes. The fourth is another Cortex design based on the Steve Kirk version. This one has a silver helmet with wings, yellow goggles, and a red suit with white gloves and pants. Overall he has a more gremlin-like appearance. The fifth Cortex design is one featured in the Wonders of Life educational shorts. He is the only one who lacks any sort of military/pilot theming, looking more like a stereotypical 90’s kid, with spicky blonde hair, a green patterned shirt and orange pants. The final design is X. Atencio’s version of the character, who has a yellow and blue uniform with a silver medal and a large blue and yellow helmet that covers half of his eyes.

After a long time of using Vinyl as my pfp, I have decided to update it to feature my sona instead. I draw so many different things, so it's better to just have a representation of myself instead of one of the millions of OCs I have from my story ideas.

#pfp #2dart
Profile pic featuring the face of my sona, a tan cartoon rat with dark brown curly hair, small dot eyes and a reddish button nose. He is holding a pen with his mouth.

Not the exciting new thing I was talking about, but hey, it’s something new. I thought I’d do something for Halloween, even if it’s not inherently meant to be spooky. Then again spooky is subjective and I’m sure some robots/animatronics think mechs are scary.

#halloween #animatronic #poster
A black light style poster of one of my robot OCs, Rocket. On the right half of the screen, it shows him as he normally looks with his latex mask, hair and his regular clothes, but using a mostly purplish blue color scheme with the exception of a bit of teal and green for his eyes. On the left half, you can see his mechanisms, with his head she’ll having sort of a neon green color, while the rest of his body has a purplish color. It’s not inherently meant to be scary, but hey, people think skeletons = spooky, so I guess the same applies to robots and animatronics.

I still had one of Pearl’s friends to design, so here’s Opal. I super loved drawing each one of these aliens. Coming up with color morphs for a fictional species is fun.

#alien #characterdesign #scifi
A 50s sci-fi poster style render of one of my alien OCs, Opal standing while looking happily at someone offscreen . The background is designed to look like a mix between outer space and the sky during twilight hours, using a color scheme that consists of bluish black, wine, teal and light green. Opal has similar markings to a leopard, with an amber and white coloration with blue line running along the white parts. Unlike Pearl and Jasper, her darker markings are more of an orange color instead of the typical purple. Her eyes are light blue leaning towards a turquoise color. Just like Pearl and her friends, she’s a cat-like alien with a penguin-like body type. Apart from her coloration, the best way to tell her apart is her height, long neck and slightly heart shaped head with a big jaw.

Been a while since I last drew Mike, so here’s a redesign. I changed his color scheme to match more closely with Vinyl, Rocket and R.J., since he lives with them. I tend to prefer designing characters in a way where they’d fit into a specific friend group.

#ocsky #characterdesign
Mike, one of my many robot characters from my story idea, “Soul in The Machine”. He is stall and skinny, with a slightly round face with a dark brown latex mask, a silver visor with a teal screen and green eyes, and long black locs in the style of a bob cut. In terms of clothes, he wears an orange flat cap, a yellow long sleeve sweater with an orange stripe on the middle, blue jeans, yellow socks and orange shoes. Mike is very confident and very friendly, always willing to help anyone, no matter what.

Okay, so it turns out I never shared Rocket's cowboy look here. Well, now that I've revisited that design, ya'll get to enjoy it. Out of the main trio, he's the one that has the most variety in terms of clothes. He's just the type of guy to try different styles.

#characterdesign #ocsky
Rocket, my animatronic OC, with cowboy-like clothes. He's wearing a dark brown cowboy hat with a low brim, black button up shirt with a purple stripe around the edge of the collar and two purple lightning bolts, white gloves, light blue cuffed jeans with a black leather belt and small dark brown boots. He still has his usual cosmetics, the warm beige latex mask, black hair, thick black eyebrows, darker plastic eyelids with long eyelashes and plastic cartoony eyes with cameras for pupils. He's walking somewhere. No idea where. Your guess is as good as mine.

The aforementioned “new” Cortex design. Even if it’s not fully colored, I’m still beyond happy to see some full body artwork. I am willing to bet that this exactly what his actual Colossal Pictures design looks like, since the style is extremely close.

Photo by bunny_wars
An official shirt depicting Captain Cortex with a baseball and glove, being lifted by a jet of water coming from a sunken ship. At the bottom there are two baseball bats, one says Typhoon and the other says Wonders. The lineart is dark blue while the parts with color are dark green.

Some recent Captain Cortex fanart I’ve made, the official design of course, not my headcanon version. Now, why am I once again revamping the way I draw Cortex’s official design? Because we now have a full body drawing of him, the more Colossal Pictures style design, to be specific.

#craniumcommand
Captain Cortex, the main character from the Colossal Pictures version of Cranium Command. He is a short(?) brain pilot with pale peach skin, round face with big cheeks, long neck and a bottom heavy build. He wears a blue cap, red orange pilot jumpsuit, white undershirt, white gloves and black boots. He also has a black and silver headset with two long antennas. He is drawn standing up with a happy expression and the art style is similar to that of older cartoons with flat art styles like Roger Ramjet.

New month, new design for my mall rat sona. I've been meaning to do so for a while but kept getting distracted. Not much has changed apart from the color scheme, a slightly different way of stylizing the hair, overall art improvement and the addition of small whiskers.

#sona #characterdesign
2D artwork of my sona, an anthropomorphic rat with tan fur, short sark brown curly hair, pink ears, toes and tail, and a black turtleneck sweater. In terms of facial proportions, he has a large head with big ears, small dot eyes towards the bottom and a big button nose. As for the body, it's small and bottom heavy, kinda like Mickey Mouse, but with slightly shorter arms with tiny hands and long legs with big feet. I drew him in a happy jumping pose.

One of the more ambitious pieces I’ve made, a poster for “Soul in The Machine”. Idk, I like to pretend that my stories already exit. Plus I wanted to draw Vinyl, Rocket and R.J.

#poster #2drender #ocsky
A poster for one of my story ideas “Soul in The Machine”. It features the three main characters, Vinyl, a humanoid robot with long brown hair, peach latex mask, silver visor and red eyes, Rocket, an animatronic with short black hair, beige latex mask and cameras for eyes and RJ, a humanoid robot with a golden helmet, black screen and green eyes. The background is a dry forest landscape with a dirt road, powerlines/telephone poles.

I thought I'd design a chicken for my Cranium Command headcanon. Just a random hen though, so it's not a headcanon design for the chicken in the actual show.

#craniumcommand #headcanon
A sort of Disney style hen design. I went for a feral chicken look, with a reddish-brown coloration with a slim body.

I felt like drawing a scene with a streetlamp in the middle of nowhere. I also felt like making something with a darker color palette with my Cranium Command headcanon, so here's a nighttime scene that takes place within that world.

#craniumcommand #fanart #headcanon
A nighttime scene of streetlamp in the middle of nowhere near a canyon. Technically speaking, it's underwater, so the colors are mostly blue, with some green hues around the light. Since this takes place in my Cranium Command headcanon, I added Buzzy and Captain Cortex, who are sort of lost. Buzzy's visibly nervous, while Cortex is still confident that a bus might stop by soon.

Another landscape practice mixed with some cloud practice. Idk, I just felt like drawing a shelf cloud. I added Rocket and Vinyl in it, since it's a scene that takes place in their world.

#environmentart #digitalpainting
A digital painting of a shelf cloud at a beach. The cloud itself has a lot of scuds that further emphasize its wave-like appearance. Since the piece takes place within the world of "Soul in The Machine", I added Rocket and Vinyl to it, as sort of spectators to the oncoming storm. Rocket's somewhat curious of the thing, though that's interrupted by Vinyl's anxious reaction to it.

Surprisingly, I never shared the original version of this piece here. I did share one of Buzzy and Captain Cortex in a similar environment though. Nothing much to say here. It's just a chill scene with Buzzy in it.

#craniumcommand #fanart #headcanon
My headcanon version of Buzzy from Cranium Command talking to someone offscreen while sitting on a rock in a field full of pink grass and fuchsia coral-like trees. I like to imagine the world of Cranium Commandos as being submerged in cerebrospinal fluid and similar to many underwater environments and that the Cranium Command's various bases are located in more natural areas, so there's a lot of fields where brain pilots can just relax during their time off.

I went ahead and drew Koharu again. Pseudorcas are still pretty challenging to draw, but that won't stop me from drawing my OCs.

#characterdesign #dolphin
Another one of my cetacean OCs, Koharu an adult female false killer whale. She has a long slender body with an oval shaped head, dark grey coloration with a darker dorsal cape and light grey underside markings, and blueish grey eyes. Since she's just a normal whale, she's not as expressive as Seymour, though she's quite outgoing in terms of personality.

It was raining yesterday, so I decided to practice another landscape, specifically a lake in a mountainous area. I added Rocket in to make it more interesting and because this is a landscape within the setting of "Soul in The Machine".

#environment #lake #digitalpainting
A digital painting of a cloudy day at a lake in a mountainous region. Standing on top of a rock is Rocket, who's looking at someone offscreen. He's not exactly happy to see Vinyl and R.J. were already walking away without telling him.

Trying something else with my cetacean illustrations. I've done illustrations like this before, but this time I wanted to see just how realistic I can go in terms of lighting and shading with on airbrushes. I drew a Norwegian killer whale, because yes.

#orca #dolphin #whale
An illustration of an adult male Norwegian killer whale. These animals are your "stereotypical" killer whale, mostly black and white in color with a bright grey saddlepatch behind their dorsal fin. Like other North Atlantic orcas, they tend to be stubbier with slightly rounded dorsal fins, pectoral flippers and tail flukes. As mentioned before, this individual is an adult male, so he has massive pectoral flippers, a tall dorsal fin and curled tail flukes. This particular piece has a background with deep blue water, and it's made to look as if the whale is popping out of it.

A fun piece I did a while ago. Apart from wanting to show the comparison between a typical grey alien and Pearl, I thought it would be cool to show what people think they see when they encounter her, since it often happens at night in low visibility.

#alien #ocsky #scifi
A sketch of stereotypical grey alien next to my alien OC, Pearl. Though she’s a cat-like alien with a similar body type to a penguin, such details may not be seen clearly in certain lighting conditions. That combined with the pop culture image of what an alien would look like often causes people to interpret her and other individuals of her species as something far more humanoid.
September 12, 2025 at 5:24 PM
artofsoul.bsky.social
Yet another Seymour drawing. I wasn’t too happy with the previous one, since it didn’t really show his personality. I tend to imagine him as the type of guy who’s still in the mischievous risk taking phase.

#orca #characterdesign #ocsky
Seymour, formerly known as Guillaume, one of my orca OCs. He is an 18-year-old male, so he is bulky with large pectoral flippers, tall dorsal fin and curled flukes, though still not fully developed. He has rounded diamond shaped eye patches and a bright saddle patch with a heart shaped stripe. Additionally, his dorsal fin leans a bit towards the left side. Since he was human, he tends to sit still in a vertical position. Overall, he’s not good at being a whale.
September 10, 2025 at 3:13 PM
artofsoul.bsky.social
Here’s the original version. This was done long before I updated Pearl’s color scheme and design. Also, I reused the background in the new one, but added stuff to make it consistent with my current pieces.
An older version of the piece I shared in this post. It lacks the greenish hue of the new one.
