This one is mostly the first word and a little bit of the second (cause who doesn’t like a dose of existential dread 😂)
Struggled with the perspective going so far back in space… paying dearly for my preference to only draw characters. I did have the help of a Astro figure and a mirror for the pose and reflection though! Might need to take it easy tomorrow (well— later today oof) and do a redraw or study of some kind, but we’ll see.
This is your reminder to join in on the fanweek btw!! Calling all Astro Boy fans!
Chapter 115 (boot_115) of the Atom: The Beginning manga is now available to read from January 26, 2024 to February 23, 2024!
Featured on the cover art for boot_115 is Tobio Tenma with headphones that read "jetter" on them, which is a reference to Jetter Mars. Tobio's cowlick and the headphone design make it look similar to Atom's hair spikes.
Just wanna say I love seeing how Tobio and Tenma use to care so much about eachother! Even if they couldn't fully see eye to eye because Tenma struggled with his workaholic tendencies and his struggle with his own personal issues, they really cared about eachother! And Tobio, especially in the 03 version, usually clinging onto his arm was always so wholesome and adorable to see!
(Well except for the second to last episode of the 03 series 💀)
I love them so much, I wish we had seen more of his relationship with Tobio not just in 03 but in other adaptations. I firmly believe Tenma loved him, he wouldn't be experiencing so much grief if he didn't.
Also that episode of 03 just depresses me, it's a very sad situation.
The horse children to go with my last post.
Tobio would've gotten his cutie mark after the accident if it didn't kill him lol.
He would've gotten it by attaching rockets to his scooter to impress his dad, launching himself so high he could see stars and deciding to be an astrophysicist/ engineer specialising in transport.
