#zoro being all cool metals and smooth efficiency and sharp edges Vs Luffy being all tangled wires and springs n stuff...

[1pcii]

2nd last rb reminded me of how I really wanted to try design my own automaton-esque designs for some 1pc charcaters.

I'll probably try work into that idea again in the future but all I remember is that I really wanted zoro to have a silloettee akin to ceruledge

with swords as his hands and a half covered face (perhaps his bandana?) being two major design points.

for Luffy it was even more vauge but I did know I wanted him to have a sans-like permanent smile acting as a speaker or vent. he's either be super springy and airodynamic or blocky/'retro'. lifting from his egghead design I think a might of astro boys atom and 1963-1980(?)s atlas could be an interesting source of inspo?

i haven't put much thought into the others yet except I know in my heart that usopp would perfectly fit steampunk aesthetics. so well.
