March Of The Robots | Technobian Pride Parade

It's March now and a popular art theme at this time is March of the Robots, but to the people of Droey's Draws it's also Technobian Pride month! So throughout this month we're going to be seeing robots and Technobians galore!


For those of you who haven't been following long, Technobians are a race of technological sentience, this can vary from phones to cyborgs. To be considered Technobian you would be at least 35% tech, and here's four characters that fit the bill joining the parade.

From right to left, there's Tenvad Drawson, she's Droey's laptop and the brains of her household. Jirou Katou the human Technobian, a technological replica of his twin Ichirou. Paddy Ipswitch the Ipad, friend of Tenvad who spends his free time reading. Lastly there's someone you won't have met before, Coffee Waterson the cyborg, she is an experiment towards the idea of human being able to resist electric shock, though everyone assumes she just has another pair of ears!

One more thing about this piece is that you'll notice the symbol forged out of glowsticks and printed onto Tenvad's flag. This is the Technobian symbol, which is inspired by the binary code. Technobians can have gender, though some prefer not to tie themselves to a gender as it is simpler to just call themselves Technobian; hence there is no variation of the Technobian symbol.

I don't often draw the Technobian characters which is something I should really get into the habit of doing so I am hoping to become more keen on drawing them by the end of this month, as well as maybe some more technical and mechanical stuff. Are you needing to get into the habit of drawing more robotic stuff? Give March of the Robots a try, you may find it quite enjoyable!
