Artist's Comments

I decided to make a robot character that was more like what would be more commonly found in the N universe. This one's type of robot was made for janitorial work, mainly picking up trash and litter. However, this particular character was thrown away by it's owners, because instead of disposing of the trash like it was supposed to, it seemed more keen on making new things out of it (like statues, tools, random items, etc.)

Stuff it's equipped with:
:bulletblue: Extendable limbs, to get to hard-to-reach trash (like if someone threw something into a tree)
:bulletblue: A retractable spike in the bottom of each leg, for picking up stray papers and other such litter

Other things about this robot's type...
:bulletblue: They have no mouth, speaker, or voicebox of any sort, so they can't talk. After all, why stand around and chat when there's work to be done?
:bulletblue: They're waterproof, for the purpose of still being able to work while it's raining.
:bulletblue: Their serial numbers are printed on their collars, so they can be told apart from others (though they do come in different colors as well)
:bulletblue: Each one has only a basic personality and range of emotion (though this particular one seems to have a bit more for some reason)
:bulletblue: The mechanics on its arms and face are covered with a cloth "skin" (possibly to make them look less scary to small children while roaming for trash), and they all have four fingers on each hand.
:bulletblue: They are used in a variety of places, like circus tents, carnivals, theme parks, normal parks, office buildings, etc. (the one in this pic belonged to a normal park on the outskirts of the city)

As for the name, it is indeed referential, even down to the numbers. >_> And, the design is vaguely referential to something else as well. What can I say, love a good homage every once n' a while!

The letters in the name, the numbers, and the design... CAN YOU GUESS THEM ALL? >D Bwahaha...
*hint: both of the references in the name are related, though the design ref isn't related at all to the other two*

oh... my... gosh... o.o This is the most adorable robot evar! X3 I love his loose clothes, and collar and lack of mouth and strange personality. ^-^ He's kinda like a rag doll, but with robot insides XP Definately look forward to seeing more of this guy!

There's a special meaning in his name?
Hmm... Sticks.... something. Not sure what the numbers mean
:iconringtailed-alchemist:
He's simply adorable:heart: : D
:iconparadoxbox:
Ee, love. :heart: Oh man, Nellie, I love the look of this little guy... I don't even know why, but I just do. He's so cute.

Now, as to the references, I have no bloody idea. Maybe I should, even. Well, wait. The design does remind me of Tack from The Thief and the Cobbler... is that even close to right?

The general style/face of the character reminds me of The Cobbler from that one short someone did (i forgot whom, I think Gary Goldman) but either way, this is a very cute character, and i like his backstory.
