This is iDRAGON, the 'sona I made for my devious laptop. From the thumbnail, it looks like a ghost with floating organs! 8D Mkay, so over the years this guy has changed SO MUCH. I'm finally satisfied with this design. There's some information in the picture but I wanna say some stuff. Also, I drew this in pencil first and scanned it in, then messed with it. First time in a while that I've done that. It turned out strange... kind of sloppy. YES I used those stamps on purpose to look goofy. Note: the two Nordic runes here have individual meanings. It's right on the tip of my tongue, I'll update later.
WALL OF TEXT AHEAD
iDRAGON as you see him here is the physical manifestation of my laptop*. His body is composed mostly of electroplasm, a substance similar to the ghostly ectoplasm but capable of holding an electric charge and manipulating mechanical objects. The metal objects in his body crudely resemble a partial human skeleton (had no available references and got LAZY, really) broken off midway down the spine. There are several areas of luminescence on his body. His eyes and antenna always match in color; blue for stable, green for charging, and red for 'sick' or plagued with viruses. The spherical orb on his breastplate signifies battery life, gradually fading from a bright green to a dull red. There is a second bright orb inside the 'rib cage' of his body. This is the power source: aka, his heart and soul. His head is heavy as it contains the 'hard drive' of his system. One of his main characteristics is the way that he tends to sway under the weight of his head. His arms (and his 'ears' and lower half) consist entirely of electroplasm, while his 'hands' are pitch black bonelike structures, also roughly shaped to suit. He can summon and conduct complicated screens and webs for brief moments out of his shell, always maintained at his fingertips. His battery is old and loses power quickly, if he doesn't get back to his shell to charge, then he dies. If the shell is not plugged in for charging when he returns, iDRAGON will not die, but will be in an unresponsive state until recovered via charging.
Personality-wise, iDRAGON is spunky and curious. Just because he is a computer spirit doesn't mean he knows everything, he is just as eager to learn as any other willful being.
FEATURES NOT DISPLAYED: - There are keys scattered on his back, roughly still in the shape and order of the keyboard, that can be used for manual access. - Resting inside his mouth is an extendable tongue which can be used to a. Defend himself by means of releasing a powerful shock and b. access other computers or machines briefly.

*If you want a computer spirit character, let me know and I'll draw one up for you after some details have been given. :3
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
