Ocs Winston (he/they), Koda (they/any), Preston (he/him)A repost of a drawing I did in December last year. I'm usually hesitant when it comes to revisiting old art and fixing it, I would rather draw it from scratch, but I made an exception to this one. Just fixed some of the issues I had with it, including the coloring
I struggled a little with keeping their proportions and heights right so it looks off here and there, but I still really like it. I think it's the closes thing to a "reference" I've ever done of them.
I guess I could write something about them in general...? Stuff like what they are because I never had a good enough excuse to info dump like this under a drawing
An object becomes "alive" when a soul settles inside of it. It's unknown why some tend to attract them more than the others and there's no way of forcing it. They can have more than one soul in some cases, but they almost always conflict with one another.
Very small or very big objects are harder to encounter due to their shorter lifespans. Either they don't have enough energy to "keep" the soul, or the soul is too small to fill the space. The ones that happen to be more stable are pretty much self-sustainable and can live as long as they are kept in good shape. The energy is often stored in things like batteries and capacitors or through the whole object.
The soul allows them to experience emotions, dream and have a body they can make look the way they want (the more "stable" ones prefer to look more human-like), among other things. It has little to no influence on their personality and they pick it up based on the people around them and how they are treated by them.
Objects often have an "owner". It's either the first person they met or someone they bonded with the most. It doesn't matter if that person is aware of them or not.
They also retain their prior functions and will respond to inputs like pressing buttons, remotes or keyboards etc. but they can choose to ignore it. They are also very protective over their original accessories since they consider it a part of themselves.
I couldn't think of more, so let me know if you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them!
Edit: I expanded more on the last part :DFeb 20, 2025

Oh, the outfits and different characters remind me of a sitcom. The soul theory is interesting and when you said that you wanted to write more about them. I wonder what happens to item heads that want to do something that is technically obsolete tech.
