A zedconian for @zoidsfan77 thank you for comission me :D

[beetle3000-1]

Commission finished for @zoidsfan77 ! Had a great time tackling this one - I'm always a sucker for drawing small items in background details, and I'm a huge fan of the zedconians!

This is Kord. They are a socially awkward and very shy but highly skilled programmer. Secretly by night they are a popular electronic music artist. Their anxiety and chronic nervousness keeps them anonymous.

They have somewhat of a quiet, hollow voice and a pronounced zedconian accent.

Basic zedconian diagnostic equipment. Connects to their common interface port under their snout. Used for troubleshooting and repair.

Clawing desperately against an icy slurry of snow and fuel oil, the zedconian struggles for traction and air. The wind and cold is unforgiving.

Another story illustration.

This is Martin. A strange guy. Some might say crazy. Definitely a bit broken. Perhaps even dangerous.

He doesn't say much. Can he even say much?

Big fan of 80s slasher films.

Lumi offers you some helpful advice and encouragement. Bless her diesel-fired heart. Maybe the struggles of man and machine aren't always so different.

Lumi and Mylo investigate some mechanical trouble.

[zoidsfan77]

Here is a simplified 2D drawing of the zedconian shoulder joint.

They have four of these joints. The front and rears are slightly different such that the front has greater range of motion, while the rear is beefier to handle more power.

They commonly leak.

"Are we negotiating or are we not? You know my demands."

Meet Mylo. He leans out the open crew door of a DiTCH, somewhere in the antarctic wasteland.

[zoidsfan77]

Meet Lumi!

Lead operator over glass film manufacturing at a zedconian semiconductor plant.

She's kindhearted, innocent, and sweet. Easy to make laugh.

Manufactured in February 1991, she is a very late-model zedconian. She has has a light, off-white paint scheme.

"Oh cool! This one has an old electric guitar!" one zedconian called out as he rummaged through some old crates.

"Hey Lumi, didn't you say once you could play?" the other asked as he peered into the box.

"Me? Well.. I mean I know how to play, but I'm not very good." Lumi said nervously.

"You gotta show us a few riffs!" "Yeah! Please?"

"Aww, oh gosh. I don't know, it's been a long time…" Lumi handled the instrument, carefully looking it over.

"I'm sure you play fine. Lets hear it!" he assured her as they connected up the amplifier.

Lumi pondered for a moment, repositioning her grip on the guitar. "Well… I do know this one song…"

"It's okay if you're a little rusty—"

Lumi extended her steel claws and suddenly and forcefully strummed them across the strings. The instrument produced powerful shrieks. Immediately she followed up with some high speed-metal riffs. She made the guitar scream and cry loudly as her fingers flew up and down it's neck.

The other two where completely speechless. Shocked that the otherwise sweet and innocent Lumi was capable of such musical violence. This was some of the fastest and heaviest metal guitar work they had ever heard.

Lumi quickly found herself lost in the music. She closed her eyes and moved her head and tail to the powerful sound. Leaning into it now, she switched up the pace and pounded out a few loud chords with exaggerated, heavy strokes across the body of the guitar. She found herself headbanging to the strong notes.

One more big stroke then she dove right into some high-speed shredding. Her fingers difficult to track as the flew across the frets. She didn't realize it, but her engine was racing. It's subtle roar added to the chaotic sound.

She finished with a series of chords building to some sustained high notes, making heavy usage of the whammy bar. One final big stroke and it was done. Her supercharger shuddered as it surged during spindown and her engine feel back to a quiet idle.

After a short pause, she opened her eyes. She noticed the shocked expression on the others faces. "What? I warned you I wasn't very good."
