So either you're really tiny or that MicroKorg is HUGE! :D

I do like the MicroKorg. I don't own one, as I think my MS-2000 fills that role, but they sure are fun little devices.

Techno is small. a little under 5 feet tall and super petite all around. :D

MS 200000 ;-; yum yum yum yum. Someday I will own one.

My friend  vulpeschild has a Korg MS-2000. Got it on sale as the floor model. Damn that thing was fun. Especially since we tried to replicate song elements back when Frequency came out.

I would probably give my left arm for a Korg. There was one a few years back that I used to drool over, the Korg Triton Extreme..... OH if I had pursued music I'd be able to justify the purchase. For now I'll keep hoping I win the lotto ;)

hoooly fuck yeah the Korg Triton series are pretty much my holy grail. But there is NO way I can afford a $3000+ synth. *melt*

This is marvellous :D

thank you! I love my beepy boxes.

Not just a keyboard-- A delicious, delicious synthbox and MIDI controller.

Korg's signature sounds are more like FFFFFFHHHHWWWWHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnn.

They are -powerful-.

Yeahhhh. I am often amazed by how thick and strong some of the sounds I can squeeze out of that box really are.

Ding-a-ding! It does looks cool,speshully the face!

thanks! I tried to go for an expression other than "superhappy", more like "gentle happy".

Oh poop!
Look at 'chu.
This is wonderfully adorable.
I love the way you''ve been drawing faces like this by the way...
And the extra fluff is also an added bonus. x3
Neat!

thankya! fluff is always great :D

MicroKORGs are spiffy...

but I like Moogs just a little bit more. =3~

Moogs are of course awesome, being the grandpas of all synths, but they're near impossible to wrangle. ;-;

Well, there is the new Little Phatty as well as the Minimoog Voyager. Pricey, though.

Awesome ^^ ^^

Have you heard of the 'monome' device? :o It's just a programmable set of buttons, but a lot of people use it for music loops, too.. I was only introduced to them a few days ago.

jealous of your photoshopping skillz ;.;

This is actually SAI! I am -IN LOVE- with this program. You need to try it if you haven't already!!!

I havn't. Anywhere i can get it?

omg any you're gonna DIE ;-; IT'S SO CREAMY AND SMOOTH

We must have great relationships with our keyboards. Although mine's a Yamaha, I come home from college and play it at least twice every evening. I've been ticklin' ivories since I was 6, and taught myself all the essential chords, octaves and all. The only problem is that I cannot read a song sheet.

Also, built-in headphones. All you need is an audio cable and ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO.

A'ight, Techno. This is how we' gonna do it.
We're gonna get an industrial power drill, an audio jack, some small 20-gauge wiring, and a neuro-surgical professor guy.

Reading your replies to the comments above makes me want to buy a KORG.

BLAST THIS DIPPING ECONOMY

I like the style here, but it is very different from the usual look of your digital stuff.. almost reminiscent of Kaku's style (not that that's a bad thing, of course; the two of you are probably my favorite toony artists there are, and I suspect you share a lot of early influences). I like the cel shading here especially, though I'm.. not sure why xD it just looks very tasty :>

Can you explain at all how it's different? Aside from MSpaint stuff, I have no idea what my "style" looks like digitally. I did this one trying to mimic my traditional inking style. Not sure what I'm doing at all digitally, really...

Well, it's a lot more rounded for one - disregarding Techno's nose, because I know you've been aiming to get that a bit bigger - much less angular and larger, more circular shapes overall. The cel shading makes more 'lighting sense' than your normal cel shading does (typically it's rather difficult to discern a lighting direction or placement, which I consider to be more a part of your style than an unintentional mistake) and it's a little more vibrant than usual, especially with the multiple colors in the ears. Techno is fluffier than ey normally is (you typically draw the same 'amount' of fluff, which is to say you draw it in the same places on eir body, but the rounded edges and arrangement of said fluff in this picture creates a softer look overall) and the background is more simplistic than what you'd usually turn out for personal pieces, in my experience.

I suspect a great deal of this is simply because you're using Sai instead of MSPaint, though there is still a bit of style difference between this and the commission you posted just before it.

Jaming sweet work! ^-^ Mega great work!

big robonoses.

"I have a special relationship with my microKorg. <3"
I'm like that with my CZ3000 <3
mmmmmmmmmmm basslines...

Thats crackin'
I know the feeling, i have an almost symbiotic relationship with a now prehistoric Mp3 player (Creative Jukebox). Damn thing will turn itself on just for attention.

I've been meaning t ask. I'm new to your work 'n i'm still lookin' around, but what's with the Doc Ock style arms your lil critter keeps sprouting?

Techno is an android that was built to pilot a time machine which needed a lot of constant maintenance and control-tweaking--more than two hands can handle. There's a set of 16 tentacles that run down the spine (8 on either side). At one point they were fully retractable, but these days I decided that at very least the ends of the first few have to be showing all the time, because there just plain isn't enough room in the body cavity to store them all at once (and because I like how they look). Oh, and they have modular ends, which can be claspers, pinchers, probes, flashlights, disco balls...

I have the same one, love it!
