So! Echo was too mary-sue for me. Too unoriginally warriors-esque. After seeing SkyStar's Sona thing, I realized Echo wasn't my sona. They have very little of my personality except my niceness, and they were too mary-sue. So, now they have my personality and are more slightly more colorful ^^ Special thanks to @asleep-or-dead for giving me design ideas; unfortunately I kind of wanted to keep their original design a bit longer. I did, however, include a couple design elements - the sort of bubbly circle things (which inspired my new watermark!) and the stripes with base color in them. Q: Why the wings? A: I love steampunk ;;v;; i always wanted to include it. Q: Why the digital? A: Apparently, probably thanks to Portal, I have an instant interest in any robotic and digital thing. I loved Hal, Peridot, and the second I heard Claptrap (Poker Night 2 lines where he flirts with GLaDOS especially) I wanted to play Borderlands. (Don't know if I will yet XD) Q: The key...? A: Okay...so, you guys know I left my school (Fireflies AMV, remember?). Well, when we leave, we get special keys, as a goodbye gift and a symbol of 'you always have a way back to the school if you like'. (i'm going to visit as much as possible omg.) I wanted to put that school onto Echo to remind me of that place, so I did. That key is real; it does say "LOVE" on it. Q: The gold bubbles? A: BECAUSE IT"S COOL and inspired by @asleep-or-dead 's design he made for me x) Q: the paw pad? A: idk just to be interesting x) Q: Color palette inspirations? A: http://img15.deviantart.net/d9eb/i/2011/120/0/4/wheatley___glados_by_joker4342-d3fark0.jpg - At least half their body is mechanical. - Still working on a backstory. Feedback?
