What mechanism would be foolish or stubborn enough to enter a staring contest with gunpowder Tim?
Unfortunately for him, the other mechs told the Toy Soldier to do it, and it’s been a few millennia since they’ve started already. (Also so sorry for how many years it took me to draw this!!!)
[ID: a drawing of the Toy Soldier and Gunpowder Tim from the Mechanisms band. The two are facing each other, staring. Gunpowder Tim is squinting in concentration, while TS doesn’t seem to even be meeting the others eyes. Around the Toy Soldier are flowers and sparkles and a pink glow. And around GPT is a dark blue aura. \End ID]
So I'm collecting data from The Mechanisms fandom. I want to know yall's hot takes. No this form DOES NOT collect your emails, I am not interested in that shit, I just want yalls hot takes.
Okay, so I put together refs for each of the mechs as best I can. I tried to avoid anything in a show lighting, but sometimes it can't be helped. Notes will be underneath each section
Whole cast
Ivy is the only character leaning on the wall in the second image, but is roughly as tall as Ashes
Jonny D'Ville
Jonny in earlier shows like TTBT wears a black shirt underneath instead of the white. He occasionally has red or black painted nails and his goggles are either black or bronze. He has a black 7 of diamonds. He often holds a mic - which is a Shure Super 55
Drumbot Brian
He usually has just the flower in his hat, but sometimes it's replaced with RAM or his drumsticks. His goggle has a very small crack at the base. The rings seem to be a bit of a motherboard and screws? The visible heart is something I can only find in one picture, but it's cool
Gunpowder Tim
Sometimes wears jeans instead of dark brown trousers. His eye scars are more geometric than Jonny's, and he has dark eye shadow around the eyes where Jonny uses just eyeliner
Raphaella la Cognizi
The top is three layers: a white/cream shirt, a brown puffy shirt and a a top layer which has a halter neck. Occasionally one or both of the undershirts won't be worn (see HNOC liveshow). Tights can be blue or black. Light up wings from DTTM
The leggings/tights are sometimes black and sometimes deep blue
Ivy Alexandria
A few different outfits, in liveshows they're also wearing some outfits not shown here - but always black and red with a waistcoat of some kind.
Nastya Rasputina
The necklace is a little cat :3
Marius von Raum
Kneepads in DTTM. The cards are a jack and ace of hearts. Necktie either has a white or gold pattern on it, but they don't always wear it. The green jacket has a tailcoat
The Toy Soldier
Hair varies a lot. Sometimes it's worn down, in a ponytail or hidden under the hat. Sometimes nails are painted red or black
Ashes O'Reilly
In live shows they often wear this eyeliner which has thick bars that go behind the ears - but I couldn't find any clear pictures of this. Though their outfits changes, always mostly black with some red in the hair

I hope this was in some way helpful to anyone who wants to draw the mechanisms. If you have questions feel free to ask me in the ask box and I will do my best to answer them and provide some photos <3 have a great day
I drew this today for an old ask but then I realized I misread the ask and decided to repurpose it. Alternate captions versions as well as an empty version under cut.
[ID: a drawing of The Toy Soldier from the Mechanisms band. It’s a fisheye lens view of the the top of TS’s head to its shoulders. It’s looking up from under its cap. The background is a gradient going from dark at the top to light red at the bottom. The caption above the Toy Soliders head reads “POV it just wanted to be involved.” \End ID]
[ID: three duplicate images as the one described above, except the caption is altered. The first one reads “POV U said it’s tea was bad.” The second one reads “POV it wants to steal your uniform off your bleeding corpse” where the word “your” is shorted. The last one has no text. \End ID]
Day on of @mechtober2022 is complete! there was no specific media that was off limits, so I decided to cover Rose's part of Sleeping Beauty. i dont really use the lower end of my range very often, so i took this song as a challenge. i thought i did pretty well, judging from the fact that i learned most of the lyrics today
"The Mechanisms were Jonathan Sims college band" and "Jon is the secret real past of Jonny D'ville" are both great takes but I present "Jon's descend into an unwilling antichirst figure is The Mecs new album and Jonny plays him in the songs because they just have very similar voices for some reason."
