On this page of the Astro Monk series, CONTROLLER A.C.K. BOT gives an idea of what it is and also you get a sense of it’s voice. Its only two panels but you get the idea that this robot is passionate about it’s programing and a bit of a snark. Also of course it likes to smoke and definitely has a male persona. Its sort of reminds me of the PENGUIN in the 80s BATMAN movies the one DANNY DEVITO played so well.
Hearing Voices
It’s funny how fast these characters can get a personality when you come up with them. You do a couple drawings and suddenly you see how it moves and dialog starts to pour out of it. Its like you just gave birth to a baby that walks, talks and smokes cigarettes. Kind of weird when you think about it. As a creator you carry all these people and worlds inside your head.
The Un Control
I go on walks for inspiration an I will start speaking character dialog out loud at times. Thats how hard a character pushes to get out. It makes me wonder if Im the one in control or not. Maybe its best not to be.
