[ID: From left to right a drawing of Gunpowder Tim, Nastya and Ivy are sitting on the floor of the Aurora.
Tim is smiling sitting cross legged, he is holding a white teapot with gold and pink decoration, in front of him are two tea cups on the floor and one black with withe octokitten is drinking from their nearest cup.
Tim's eyes have dark sclera with yellow zigzagged lines, with the same yellow it does a not complete circle inside the iris with a little dot opposite side of the light reflected, then a full complete circle surrounding the center as pupil, the iris of the eye is black. there are also vertical black zigzagged lines around his eyes.
Nastya is smiling towards Ivy, she is sitting with her legs to the respective sides of each leg, she has one greenish grey tabby octokitten on her shoulder and maintains them there with one hand on their back, she also has a sleeping calico octokitten on her lap.
her cheeks are grey blushed, she has a blue fade on her hair, where her tips are more blue.
Ivy has one hand up in a cup, she is drinking tea, a smile is shown towards Nastya. she is sitting with her both legs to one side, she is petting an orange tabby cat.
her haircut is a red mohawk, on the shaved part is a few pieces of metal riveted to her head.
clothes are:
for Tim are all different tones of brown except from the green glassed goggles, dress shirt and two black crossed belts by the chest. he is wearing a coat, a vest, stripped pants and work shoes, he has a kerchief with golden figures stuck in the belt of his coat.
Nastya is wearing a black coat with golden buttons, she has brown pants and black boots.
Ivy is wearing a heart earring, her make up is a red lipstick. Her clothes are a red dress shirt sleeves rolled to her elbows, is wearing a colorful necktie, a black on front and red on back vest, flowery skirt, dark blue tights, red socks and a pair of tall black boots.
background is a grey room, with square tiles, there are cables hanging on the top corners of the image, there is a vent, 3 machines, a there are octokittens up there, one is sleeping, other is looking down to an ocltokitten on the floor, there is also one looking at a wall that is damaged by shoots, there are repairs of the walls with rivets.
I decided to take the lack of 3d printable octokittens into my own hands!
After a minor printer error (which flattened and smeared a few of the front tentacles) and metaphorical blood sweat and tears (and some literal blood), its’s done!
i made a bunch of mechanisms octokittens themed like the mechs (and various other mechs characters) so here they are :) i actually made them ages ago but i kept forgetting to post them on here
it's going under the cut because it's unreasonably long
if you want the pattern lmk, cause i did eventually write it down
@gunpowder-tim
this is jonny. he has his funky eyeliner and his too many belts in places where there should not be belts. he's blue cause i said so and cause by the time i made him i was running out of unique colours to use
this is brian. he has his top hat which has a rose on it. he's orange because i thought i looked like metal. ignore the fact that's he's shaped weird he was made while i was still figuring out the pattern for them
this is marius. he has a monogoggle and he's green cause of his coat
this is tim. he has his goggles and his funky eyeliner. he's brown also because of his coat
this is ivy. she's holding a book. she's pink because her hair is red, but ts and carmilla were already red so i went for the next best thing
this is nastya. she was the first small one i made. you can't see it too well but she has an engineer's belt on which has a couple of wrenches on it. she's funky multicoloured cause i had cool yarn and i wanted to use it
this is raphaella. she has her wings and she's gold cause it matched her wings (figuring out how to actually make the wings was a nightmare btw)
this is ts. it has a bowtie and a moustache and it's red cause of its uniform
this is ashes. they have their hat and they're grey cause ashes are grey and i thought it was cool
this is lyf. they were the first one i made. they're a lot bigger than the others, and they're multicoloured cause when i got that yarn it reminded me of the bifrost
this is aurora. she's made with the multicoloured yarn too cause i wanted her to match nastya. she's very small and she is usually attached to my schoolbag
this is carmilla. i didn't actually intend to make a carmilla, but i wanted to make a finger puppet octokitten and when she was done i wanted her to fit in with the mech themed octos, so i named her carmilla. i thought the red was also a cool little nod to her being a vampire (also pls ignore that the video is sideways i couldn't figure out how to flip it)
The octokittens have two distinct “languages” (whether these are real languages or less precise than linguistic modes of communication is up to debate)
Language 1, cat noises in general
Language 2, changing colors like an octopus or squid
Cats readily understand the cat mode and raphaella’s testing to see which other cephalopods if any understand the color-shifting mode is inconclusive
