Description Di nuovo in super ritardissimo, il mio regalo di compleanno per la mia artist buddy, . Scusa se ci ho messo tanto a finirlo, ma ci ho messo una vita a rifinire quei riflessi! XD Ancora buon compleanno, amica mia

Si tratta del suo personaggio originale del gioco di ruolo del WALL-E Forum (www.walleforum.com), Adolf (a sinistra), un vecchio K-9 Militare (non sempre con tutte le rotelle a posto...) che originariamente era stato assegnato a un'astronave neo-nazista (da qui il nome). Tuttavia, la sua coscienza viene risvegliata da Shadrack, un K-9 Cuddles (ossia un cucciolo) che gli è stato ordinato di crescere e addestrare. Adolf si affeziona a Shad come se fosse figlio suo, e quando Shad incomincia ad aiutare a fuggire i prigionieri dell'astronave, lo aiuta non tanto perché condivida i suoi ideali ma in segno d'affetto. Sfortunatamente vengono scoperti e malgrado Adolf e un pugno di fedelissimi si battano come leoni contro gli altri K-9 e i Nazisti stessi, le sorti della lotta si fanno drammatiche quando questi ultimi ricorrono a un leopardo robot, un'unità FER-L militare. A quel punto ad Adolf e ai suoi seguaci non resta che darsi alla fuga, e Shad resta coraggiosamente indietro per far guadagnare loro tempo. Il piccolo branco di superstiti si rifugia sulla Terra dove vengono accolti nella Colonia, ma Adolf non riesce a darsi pace per quanto è accaduto a Shad. Da quel momento dedicherà la sua esistenza a combattere il nazismo e qualunque forma di discriminazione.

Il titolo viene ovviamente dal film del Re Leone. Mi sembrava appropriato immaginare che anche da adulto, Shad (ucciso che era ancora un adolescente) avrebbe conservato lo spirito scanzonato e vivace di quando era cucciolo. Ed è questo spirito che Adolf vede nel suo riflesso, perché Shad non se ne è mai davvero andato, ma vive appunto in lui. Fatti coraggio, Adolf... Shad non ti ha lasciato, e per citare un personaggio dei fumetti, "continuerà a esistere, finché tu ti ricorderai di lui"

Another super belated piece, my birthday gift for my artist buddy . I'm sorry if I took so long to finish, but those reflexes took forever! XD Again happy birthday, my friend

It features her original character from the WALL-E Forum RP (www.walleforum.com); Adolf (left), an old Military K-9 (not always completely sound in the head, heh ) who originally came from a neo-nazi ship (hence his name). His conscience was eventually awakened by Shadrack, a K-9 Cuddles (cub) whom he has been ordered to raise up and train. Adolf comes to deeply care for Shad as though he was his son, and when Shad starts smuggling prisoners out of the ship, the older K-9 helps him not so much because he shares his believes but because he cares for him. Sadly, they are found out and even though Adolf and a hadful of loyal K-9s fight to the last against their own crewmates and the Neo Nazi themselves, the outcome of the battle turns dramatically unfavourable as the Neo-Nazi resort to a Military FER-L unit (leopard-bot). Adolf and his companions must withdraw, and Shad valiantly stays behind to buy them more time. The small pack of survivors crashes on Earth, in the Colony, but Adolf can't find rest for what has happened to Shad. Ever since he will devote his existence to fighting nazism as well as any form of discrimination.

The title of the pic obviously comes from the Lion King movie. I thought it fitting that even as an adult, Shad (killed when he was still a teenager) would have kept the vivacious and troublesome streak he had as a puppy. And it's this streak that Adolf sees in his reflection, because Shad never really left, but lives in him. Hold on, Adolf... Shad hasn't left you, and to quote a comic book character, he "will keep existing, so long as you will remember him."

As I've said before on Skype, I reallyreallyREALLY love this picture! I seriously LOVE this gift! You totally caught Shad's spirit there; lively as ever. (Though, as you've speculated, he may not be very alive at all. But uh... yeah... I hope James doesn't read this, he'll find it quite insulting.)
I have never really draw K-9s from all angles, have I? You've done a good job of guessing how their back paws look like, so kudos to youdos for that. I'm also pleased to know that you haven't missed out on some of Adolf's scars (sometimes even I forget XD) and those two wolf-bots just look so great.
Thanks again, art buddy! Like really, thanks! I cannot express my gratitude enough! This is one of the best belated birthday gifts EVAR
