Ogre compile

Description

This is a character that popped up while I was in Japan. He doesn't have a name yet (only two characters in the story he's from have names, actually. I really need to get on naming my characters...) His world has a lot of non-human creatures in it, of which he is one. He's an 'ogre,' which in the story's world, is a species that is big (in more ways than one. He's over six feet tall), horned, and pretty much lives to eat. Ogres can dislocate their jaws to swallow things whole, and can digest practically anything. Their stomach acid is so potent, in fact, that if their stomach lining weren't constantly replacing itself, they would essentially digest themselves (this happens when they die, leaving only the bones behind.) They have good night vision but are essentially color-blind.

Unlike most ogres, this particular one is employed. He's a mechanical genius and is in charge of most of the tech where he works. Unfortunately it's not a willing employment. He is missing the horns that would normally be used for defending himself/ attracting a mate, since they were cut off at the start of his employment, for the protection of the humans who work around him. He's very sensitive about this topic, as it leaves him pretty emasculated.
The robot-arms were another change when he started working, as all the mechanical genius in the world means little if you can't reach around yourself and have thick, clumsy fingers. Made for delicate tasks, he is not. But he loves taking things apart and tinkering with them, so he appreciates his nimble false limbs.
Ogres are pretty solitary, and he is no exception. He doesn't care much for being touched or bothered, and doesn't keep many friends. There is at least one person he cares about, though, and good luck to you if you put her in danger.
He is big and proud of it. His hair and eyes are brown.

Tl;dr, here's a character sketch-dump by the numbers.

1. Before some design changes (where is that shirt tucked into?), a side profile. It demonstrates a bit how his horn-stubs look from the side, where his robot-arms are attached, and his stubbly little arms.

2. Being climbed on by the wolf-boy. The wolf-boy enjoys doing this. The ogre enjoys it much less. This shows a bit of the size difference. Feet planted squarely.

3.Chibi ogre with robit-arms.

4. A happier expression. It doesn't happen all that often.

5. With his closest friend and former roommate (she was an intruder who was actually thrown into him as food when he was in solitary. She endeared herself to him with her complete lack of fear of him [although part of that could be chalked up to confusion and disorientation.] She's one of the few people he genuinely cares about. Another rare smile.

6. Trying to figure out how he would look on the outside by plotting out the insides. He has short, thick legs, with the knees practically buried. His spine is strong and wide in diameter, easily handling the strain.

7.Nyoron-thank-you. I guess I like drawing him getting climbed on ^-^

I love this guy! (I love Wolf-Boy more!) I also just noticed... he's kinda like a penguin in that his knees are covered by his belly-fat. Go figure. More Wolf-Boy, my best friend!
