Robot Icewing OC - ISpark

I still added a dragon character to Artfight, but to match my "theme", it's a robot dragon. I got this character from Sunflower quite a while ago, but only now I've finished (almost) his ref. Initially, he was a regular Icewing, but his colors was so metallic that I couldn't pass by, bought him and decided to make a robot out of him. He still needs various clarifications and generally writing out the lore, but for now that's it)

You'll find him on Artfight here: ISpark

Mechanism 🔊

[philosophybits]

What has become alien to men is the human component of culture, its closest part, which upholds them against the world. They make common cause with the world against themselves, and the most alienated condition of all, the omnipresence of commodities, their own conversion into appendages of machinery, is for them a mirage of closeness. The great works of art and philosophical constructions have remained uncomprehended not through their too great distance from the heart of human experience, but the opposite; and this incomprehension could itself be accounted for easily enough by too great comprehension: shame at involvement in universal injustice that would become overwhelming as soon as one allowed oneself to understand. Instead, people cling to what mocks them in confirming the mutilation of their essence by the smoothness of its own appearance.

M, I adore this brawler

Heck, it has a very cool design in this version. (The devil does not admit that he is looking at his heels all the time)

Watch what happens to Germs when you wash your hands with Soap at microscopic level. 🔬 The Soap molecules surround germ cells and disrupt their cell walls, causing them to burst.

Germ cells are surrounded by a cell wall that protects them from the environment. This cell wall is made up of a layer of peptidoglycan, which is a polymer of amino acids and sugars. Soap molecules are made up of two parts: a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail and a hydrophilic (water-loving) head. When soap is added to water, the hydrophobic tails group together and the hydrophilic heads face outward, forming micelles. These micelles can surround germ cells and the hydrophobic tails can then disrupt the cell walls, causing the cells to burst.

The hydrophobic tails of the soap molecules can disrupt the cell wall in two ways. First, they can bind to the peptidoglycan molecules and weaken the bonds between them. Second, they can create holes in the cell wall. Once the cell wall is disrupted, the germ cells lose their internal contents and die.

It is important to note that soap only works to kill germ cells that are surrounded by a cell wall. Germ cells that do not have a cell wall, such as viruses, are not affected by soap.

The size of the soap micelles is important. Micelles that are too small will not be able to surround the germ cells. Micelles that are too large will not be able to penetrate the cell walls.

The concentration of soap is also important. A higher concentration of soap will be more effective at killing germ cells.

The temperature of the water can also affect the effectiveness of soap. Soap is more effective at killing germ cells in warm water than in cold water.

I hope this post has helped you understand the importance of handwashing and why doctors always ask you to do it regularly. Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and stay healthy. So please, wash your hands often and help keep yourself and others safe!

Thank you for reading this post. I hope you found it informative and helpful. Please share it with your friends and family so they can learn about the importance of handwashing too. 😊🙏

Horizon robots + Wings of Fire dragons

I see you liked my robot-Icewing OC, so I want to show you more WoF robots, that I've drawn some time ago. This art is 2 years old.

Here are the Freeze Wing. (more details below)

I just love the game Horizon Zero Dawn, it's probably my favorite modern game, I've played it 100% several times. And accordingly, I love robots, I just can't stop looking at them.

When the second part came out (by the way, I didn't like it very much, I didn't even get through 30% - I abandoned it) I was inspired by robots and started drawing a whole series of dragon robots from WoF, as if they were in the world of Horizon.

But there is one problem… These arts dragged on so much that I abandoned them and didn't finish them, and they are half ready, a little below I will show a couple of them. And I don't want to post them because they are not finished, and I hope that I will finish them someday.

Here you can see the design of the machine parts in the style of Forbidden West (they are in Russian, I did this for my audience, I am too lazy to translate, use a translator)

And also a variant of the colored machine body "Model - Winter"

And here are the promised unfinished dragons… I promise, I'll finish them someday, a lot of work has been done there, all the tribes have been drawn, but some of them don't have the second part ready (I don't like drawing repeating limbs) By the way I wanted to make them like Bases for coloring, but this needs to be finished, to make layers for fills.

Two-times-two-is-four, is not living anymore but the beginning of death... Let’s say a man has to do nothing but seek such an equation, crossing the oceans and giving his life to this quest – but to find it, to really locate it, oh, Lord, he would be afraid. Indeed, he feels that when he locates it, there will be nothing left to seek.
