Quick Description: Raf being halfway turned into a robot by an experiment gone wrong... explosively wrong.
Reference and Character Description: There are only two references for Raf in exisatnce. One doesn’t apply in this situation. The other is done by you and is currently my forum avatar. So... *point* ...that right there on the left is your best reference.
Repeated description, Raf Cian is an average sized ferret, with average being relative to his surroundings. His fur is black, his mask and hair are gold, and his eyes are blue if you’re coloring eyes. His eyes in the avatar are toon black, and in this request they’ll be robot red so eye color really doesn’t apply. As a converted toon in Crimson Flag, Raf only wears a white labcoat, no pants.
For this request, Raf is going half robot. For Raf that means black metal for most of his fur and hair, but gold for facemask. That last part is important; Raf is not Raf without his golden facemask. One solid metal plate backing his eyes would be preferred, but whatever your artstyle can support will be fine. Oh, and concerning his eyes, I’m going to make you happy and request the classic robo red. If his eyes are toon black, no reason his robo eyes should be different.
Detailed Scene Description:
Raf, standing with a shocked look on his (now robot) face. On a small worktable in front of him is the remains of whatever just blew up in his hands... which is to say there is nothing on the worktable but the ash stains of an explosive blast. Having Raf holding a test tube that he was about to pour into whatever just exploded would be a nice touch, but it depends on what perspective works.
To get an idea of what parts of Raf are robot and what are still covered in fur, draw a straight line from the blast epicenter. Everything above the line is robot, anything below is still fur. If you feel like doing cheap chat room background, then you can give the wall above the robot line covered in the smears of explosion aftermath as well.
The only thing that hasn’t been addressed is the labcoat, but honestly a cotton labcoat would just be transformed into polyester. So unless inspiration hits you like the next coming, go ahead and leave the labcoat on.
Other Characters:
I’ve always pictured this scene with Virbot just a few steps behind Raf, with his robot parts turned into organic based on the same formal that determines what part of Raf got turned robot. I’m not sure if that counts as interaction for this request though, so don’t include him if you don’t want to.
Otherwise, I haven’t recruited anyone to join in on this picture, but since it’s such a simple description I’m leaving it open for other people to join if they want. I’m not expecting you to get to this picture before the 16th, so I’ll just monitor this thread and edit this post and list anyone who decides to join in right below this paragraph. Otherwise... that’s all the details I think I can give you.
